I've been unemployed almost a year and barely crack 25 hours a Tour.
My wife does pay my AH account and never objects when I'm off playing for hours, and she never interrupts me.Sometimes I wonder what she's doing during all that time...
Don't many European Countries have much more developed social programs that help people when they loose their job? I had a family member that lived in France who didn't have a job for several years and was ok because of it. This would allow for lots of AH time I would imagine.
