RE: Finnish People Want to Get Rich, but it's Only Acceptable by Winning the Lottery
I worked in Finnish company 2 years, and spent few months in Finland, and I never saw this type of thinking. I met Finns working really hard, often overtime to achieve their goals. But in the other hand it was curious to me, that in every supermarket, or shopping center there are slot machines, and people usually 50+ years old are playing.
The thing about Finland is that Finland has a long history of protestant work ethic, and the welfare in Finland was built on that. A lot of Finns worked extremely hard for a long time back in the day. It's recently that the culture has shifted, and millenials in particular have become lazy.
Def. not all, but it's been a clear shift.
