If you had the choice to not work would you?

[kilophkadamas]

If I had a choice, I wouldn't work at a job I dislike. In order for society to keep prospering, someone's gotta be making something, somewhere, otherwise we'd all be lazy bums just laid out on the street somewhere. Oh yeah, we already do that  (Planking).

i do like making my own money and spending it on whatever. personally i am better at saving that my other half. but it would be nice to be able to stay home with my daughter all day. but his checks got cut and we cant live off it anymore.

so yes i would stop working if we could afford it.

i think about this question a lot....I'm lucky to enjoy my work, though my commute is long (to save costs)...I don't own a car either which helps....I would definitely still work but I would take some time to travel and think about what I would want to do with my time...so yes/no (to answer the question)...I don't think I couldn't work...it would just take on a whole new meaning....

I usually do not mind not working. Of course if I could have my dream job, I would work, but right now I am perfectly content to not have a job. I keep very busy taking care of things at home, so when I do have a job its just stressful and frustrating trying to keep up with everything.

If I had the choice, I would not work.

If you did not finacially need to work would you still work? Just wondering because there are some people who actually like working

I love my job and I don't think of it as work.  Work carries a repulsive stigma for some people and I enjoy everything about my life.  I get paid to play around on my computer and I like taking care of my home.  It's all good.

I would always want to work. I think working makes a person feel useful and connects people to what is important in life. I also feel that it is an important part of how we socialize with each other in some sort of meaningful way. If people didn't work we would all be wandering aimlessly through life with little or no meaning to our existence.So work is a good thing.

i havent had a technically "real job" since 1998, i quit mine to take care of my dad who passed away that year with cancer...after that, i ended up staying to take care of my mother and then nursing a brother who passed away last year with cancer.  i've always wanted to get back to working, but seems there's always someone that needs me more, and it just hasnt happened.  now, i keep my nephews 4 yr old while he works, which lets me stay at home with mom who is 75. i would never give up the little boy i watch to do it, but  would love to be able to get back out to the working field someday soon though

If I didn't need to work, I would still work, but just cater things toward my dream careers and take more chances doing what I want to do, though I think I would take a year off and travel a lot first.

When I was working thats what I always thought.  If I didn't have to work, would I.  My answer usually was NO.  Well I don't have a choice now, as I am disabled and cannot work.  After working for 40yrs+, I have days where I don't know what to do.  Wish I was able to work again, but I can't so I just try to keep busy the best way I can.

If I had the choice to not work I definitely wouldn't do it.  I would rather own my own businesses and travel or just do exciting and interesting things every other day.

Staying at home is not what it is cracked up to be.  There is just so much you can do then the boredom sets in.  If I did not need the income I would volunteer a few times a week to be around others and get out of the house.

[sommap]

I took an early retirement and have never regretted it.  I love not having to go to work.  I aminterested in a lot of things, so I am never bored.

[PMZ908]

even if i was rich i would still work

[mrisha]

The only work I want to do is to work from home and having a home business that I like and having fun and making an income.
