大部分喜歡錢也喜歡閒,但是天下沒有免費的午餐,事實是錢和閒沒法兼得,於是就出現了這樣一種家庭:NETTEL“有錢沒閒家庭”。

Not Enough Time To Enjoy Life, or NETTEL, refers to the rising pool of households headed by two high-income-earning, full-time-working parents with dependent children.

NETTEL(Not Enough Time To Enjoy Life,無暇享受生活,簡稱“奈特爾”)指夫妻爲高收入全職人員、家中又有孩子需要照顧的家庭。

Here are two parents working full-time earning lots of money but struggling to balance the commitments that come with a demanding job and an even more demanding family life. In many families it's a case of got enough money but hasn’t got enough time to enjoy life. These stressed-out Nettel parents are forever scheduling, scheming and diarising about how to execute the next day's events.

這樣的家庭中,父母全職工作,收入也不少,但無法同時兼顧工作職責和家庭生活。很多家庭都是有錢卻沒時間享受生活。這些壓力重重的“奈特爾(NETTEL)”父母永遠都在排日程、列計劃,記錄着要怎樣完成第二天的大小事兒。

And, by some bizarre twist of logic, many of these parents seem to revel in the scheduling frenzy. In a materialistic go-getter world, a couple's ability to juggle and to control life's commercial and familial demands merely confirms their superior "alpha" status.

而且,基於某種奇怪的邏輯,這些父母似乎很享受這種日程堆積的狀態。因爲在崇尚物質第一的世界裏,一對夫婦調節和掌控財務及家庭需求的能力就能夠證明他們超級“強者”的地位。
