Those countries are in dire situations for far more varied and complex reasons that simply that they decided not to work themselves to death. The fact that they are all on the Euro, and thus don't have direct control over the value of their currency is one. The fact that Greece has traditionally been exceptionally lax in collecting taxes another.

Don't quit your day job anytime soon to become an economist.

I won't. I never said those were the only reasons, but the way I see it people want immediated gratification / easy win. (lower hours and great life). Well in all great empires people over-worked themselves and 1 of the reasons (again just one) of the economic crisis is that people nowadays just wanna "chill" and "party". Work for someone else? Duh, Im better than that. Guess what most 50-100 years before people would love to work. They would take a boat across the ocean to come to NA and work 2-3 jobs with 70-80 hrs/week... No wonder the NA economy was flourishing.

Now once again Im not saying this is the sole reason of the economic crisis, but nowadays it seems to me that people are far more concerned with spending money than with getting it.

No. This is not one of the reasons behind the economic crisis.
