Greater time and money for entertainment. why? is it good?

It is found that, these days, people are spending greater amount of time and money for entertainment.

·         Why is it so?

·         And is it a good or bad development in your opinion?

People have always set aside certain amount of money and time for entertainment. But, of late, they are putting in more than want they used to. There are genuine reasons for this and it is a welcome turn of event. 

The first thing that encourages this greater spending is the extent of opportunities they have for greater earning. What I mean is, today there are innumerable possibilities for making money as the world today is working 24x7. Coupled with this is the rising mercury of stress they read out of longer work and tighter schedules. Naturally, they go looking for greater entertainment at a cost or at any cost. They earn big and spend big.

This condition is wisely exploited by the businessmen and investors. The rising need for entertainment and people’s increasing buying power are converted into money by turning entertainment into an industry. Such an industry invites people’s attention, and it is business, time and money.

This rise in spending is good in many counts. Firstly, it keeps people charged to be doing better. For example, a relaxed mind and body would do much better than a strained one. Besides this, there is great scope for tax revenue for governments. Entertainment industry like music, film, stage shows, outdoor games and tour packages are revenue spinners. To cap it all, there are chances for fresh employment, both direct and indirect, when people are ready to pay bigger money and spare longer time.

In short, the reasons for sparing time and money might vary from time to time Anyway, this shift of attitude to entertainment, to me, is an encouraging one. After all, people are spending good time and money not for anything but for their life.
