Much easier to keep well and healthy: no missed meals or lunches-a-la-desko, able to use sports facilities of every kind from gyms, to golf courses to footpaths when they are at their quietest. Plenty of time to go to farm shops and small local shops to buy local products.
All those discounted bus journeys and eating out at quiet times and getting a discount, discount schemes of all kinds.
I have always been my own person and gone my own way, so from that point of view life hasn't changed much.
