I don't think so. How is US tech company's salary peanuts? You can work for sometime and happily retire, something you cannot do in the UK. It is a choice people can make.

The whole concept of Economy is slavery in a way, economy will grow if people work (or increase productivity), something we have to participate unfortunately. There is inflation making sure you will not have enough tomorrow. The only people are making out of the loop is people working in tech industry.
