In Greece reading newspaper is hard work !!!
They prefer sacrificing precious free time, spending money at night clubs, gambling, scratching their lazy balls all day on street cafes, wasting their money on worthless products.
I know many people whom their cellphone costs well above 600euros and they have no credit on their contracts to call someone!!
I know many of them, who spend lots of money into bullshits, while they DONT EVEN TAKE CARE OF THEIR HEATING COSTS !!! Sitting in a coldshit house crying their misery of cold climate and goverment taxes into heating diesel...
I know as well, many of them who dont even have a stable job but still, they want their dream come true by paying in example, 7000euros of their hard earned money to buy a car, which a couple years later will be sold with 20.000kms !!!
There are people who live to work here in Greece like those in the above examples... but those who know what they do, they just work to live and enjoy living!
In conclusion, yes, reading a newspaper is hard work, mostly because they have no money left to buy one. Priority is Saturday night-out!
