unfortunately, it's very rare to find a 40hr/wk salaried position with which you can support a family and spend the amount of time and money on vacationing Dann describes. obviously everyone wants to work less, but it's a catch-22. unless you're loaded.
Although, when you are a salary position, you get paid the same for 60 hours as for 40 hours a week. I think he was pushing the work life balance.
