I would love to know where the option is for a 30 hour work week for those people who value things like extra hours with their family more than those luxurious goods and services you say you prefer. You're using yourself as an anecdote here - for many people its not a choice between leisure/idleness and work, it could be spending less time to take care of a special needs kid, or elderly parents and grandparents, or spending an extra day out hiking and exploring nature, or finding and pursuing a new passion.
I think our collective values would change if people had more time to stop and think about what is important to them. For those that realize that a fast car and 2 expensive latte's a day don't matter at all in the long run, shouldn't there be more options than assuming they want to work more to afford more things?
I know a few a companies that might give you that option although probably only after a year or two of full time work so they know your work.
I have a fried who had a baby, he asked to take a 40% cut in pay for a 3 day work week. They said yes. I can't say they offer that to everyone just saying it's a possibility
