The more anxious, isolated and time-deprived we are, the more likely we are to turn to paid personal services. To finance these extra services, we work longer hours. This leaves less time to spend with family, friends and neighbors; we become less likely to call on them for help, and they on us.

我们越焦虑、越孤立、越缺乏时间,就越有可能求助于付费个人服务。为了给这些额外的服务提供资金,我们延长了工作时间。这就减少了与家人、朋友和邻居相处的时间;我们不太可能向他们求助,他们也不太可能向我们求助。
