Of course, there is so much in this world you can put your energy towards other than labor that essentially someone else doesn't want to do.

I do not work outside of the home, but don't feel like my work is ever done.  I have 3 boys and there just isn't enough time in the day to get everything done.  I don't know how working moms get it all in!  Raising children is the hardest but most rewarding job for me.   I do wish I had more time to be more creative and make things to sell  That would help get some of the "me" time in:heart:

Although the thought of not working sounds great, i believe after not very long i would become too bored and would want to work just so i can do sometime somewhat productive

I would still work, but the kind of work I really enjoyed doing.  I would be bored if I did nothing. :)

I would spend my time working on my art and selling it more. It seems that after I work all day I am to tired to be creative. I love painting and love to teach others how to paint so maybe I would give private lessons.

I think I would enjoy volunteering. You can set your own schedule and are giving back to the community. There is no requirement of how long you have to stay at the place. You can get exposure/experience in MANY different areas.
I have a nearly endless list of activities I would like to investigate.

Nope, since idle hands are the devil's workshop. :angel11:

If I had the choice to not work I would still continue to work albeit in a different capacity doing something that I like to do, naming my own hours, and taking more and frequent vacation breaks.  I would definately devote more time to my health,  I would probably go back to school so that I could contribute more on a daily basis as well as set a positive role model/image for my children and peers.  I think that idle time is dangerous and brings a person closer to death.

I would have to do something. Volunteer or maybe write a book. I couldn't sit idle.

I would stay home, but volunteer somewhere where I could set my hours and have a schedule.  I do better when I know I have to be somewhere instead of knowing I can put things off.

If you did not finacially need to work would you still work? Just wondering because there are some people who actually like working
Actually I do have that chance (disability)and I would love to go back to work if I could without experiencing tremendous pain :(

i would definitly not work, its hard to imagine that people would want to work because they are bored, which means they dont have anything else in there life.

It depends if i was working in a field i didnt not care for then most likely no i wouldnt work i found something else to do with my time & put my money into work for me, maybe with creating jobs for others... If i was in a field that i did enjoy then yes cause if your doing work that you love then it aint working ( so they say).. But i would still use my money to expand in mayb that field of study to help get more workers or expand the business, or maybe even start my own company in that field as well & partner up with the current company i worked for!!!
