I've quit working many years ago, and still don't have enough time to pursue all hobbies like I would like to. I even "fear" finding new interests.

If you'd offer me 50x the money for going back to work, i still wouldn't see a single beneft (beside the moneyz). Would probably do it for one month and quit again 😁

My dad (boomer) worked all his life, was treated like a work-slave, and the moment he retired, he had half a year of "life" left. And in this time he didn't even know what to do with himself. Was bored all day round. Never knew such a life. And yet tried to lecture me how important work is.

If you don’t work, how do you survive?

Wife and I don't need much and have enough money to do so, luckily. Also we have no money-eating kids or any other responsibilities, not even a pet. And the only expensive hobbies are gaming and travel.

But even if we wouldn't have money but kids, and would be fine with minimum-wage, there'd be the social-net here. It'd be a bit less moneyz than working, but...
