That's the opposite. If aliens show up, then I don't have to go to work!

Fun sci-fi fact!
A quiet theory in the Star Trek universe says Earth became a 2-class society (ultra poor or ultra rich). The rich ventures into space while the poor still struggles even though money\working isn't really a thing; sort of. Character Zefram Cochrane hated this with a passion. He invented warp drive, but lived in skid row.

I admire your optimism!
