My understanding is that the rest of the time peasants were trying to grow their own food and cloth and... you know, survive. This is a bit disingenuous.

That said, I would survive a lot better with 200 days off a year

Would you be better off with only being paid for 10 hours a week? You would have a lot more time to grow your own food and make your own clothes, so you wouldn't need as much money anyways.
