How would you spend your time if you didn't HAVE to work?

[JanMichael]

Poll question: How would you spend your time if you didn't HAVE to work?

Pretend for instance that you've won a massive lottery or inherited a fortune.

If retired and not needing to work, what do you do with your time?

1. Kick.

2. well

Im 21, and i usually work at my parents korean restaurant but since april i havent had any work.. at all

and it will be like this to september or so..

I mainly sit and read, hang at the pool or glued to the computer wasting my life on yahoo and this msg board :) (and some everquest)

I do some charity work for my church maybe once a week too

Basicly my life is about weekends when my friends are free and we can go and have fun

3. I would no doubt become a vegetable

wondering why cooked meals didn't jump into my mouth and what the hell happened to the electricity. It was there just a minute ago. Me thinks me would lose me marbles.

4. That was what I was looking for.

Most people need to work to keep their sanity. If I didn't I think I would go bonkers in short order:silly:

6. Most people need some structure

to plan their lives around. Most do that through a job.

I gotta say being unemployed, it's a real challenge to plan my day, AND STICK TO IT!!!

5. Some of this, some of that

Mostly studying, travelling. When I'm home, I'd be volunteering and buying up old homes a la This Old House, refurbishing them, and reselling them.

Other than that, enjoying my nieces and nephews.

Sounds like a full life to me! B-)

7. heh, i could think of tons of ways to goof off.

i'd have absolutely no problem with never working again.

8. I'd have to have a plan

I like structure with flexibility. Without structure, I have a hard time getting things done. I guess what I would do would depend on how much money I had available. I'd definitely travel.

9. Finally indulge my artistic pursuits

Sculpture photography, etc. preferably while traveling around the world.

Better then doing it now after work and on weekends (weather permitting). And much better then working to a slow death in the AZ summer.
