not only are you missing out on what makes life great and worth living w/ this arrangement, but from a strictly utilitarian standpoint, working that many hours your productivity plummets (unless you're on stimulants), and it's just straight up more effective to work fewer hours...

What’s the point in having a house if you only spend one day in it, which realistically you will spend doing chores and sleeping?

China has this figured out. You pay a mortgage on a house that will never be built.

china has the second highest home ownership rate and fifth highest owner occupancy (where the owner actually lives in the house) in the world, i don't think this is a very good example...
