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…
Baby eating
I don’t like babies or children 😒
Maybe you just haven’t found the right recipes
But it’s also hard to find free-roam-babies and organically fed ones. And they’re costly. Nah.
Must be nice to just not work
Met many people who couldn’t even enjoy their month holiday a year because there wasn’t anything they wanted to do. Some even worked from home in their holiday at the beach… Just because. So it seems it’s not nice for many. I find it sad.
Ergomania (excessive devotion to work) is an actual mental health symptom, and it can manifest as part of several mental illnesses.
And even their employers should try to get them appropriate treatment because “workaholics” tend to have very low productivity - they don’t work well in teams and are often too tired to be effective.
Yes I know. Hence I said to find it sad. And workaholics are legion not just a few. Sadly employers are often enforcing that behaviour, thinking they’re the most exploitable despite probably being less productive than the regular joe.
Wait… y’all are getting two weeks?
Started at 2 10 years ago and will max out at 5 in 5 more years. Get a union.
Let me guess… US? I can never understand why people dont lobby for higher minimum days off there
Probably because having more days off would be socialism, and that makes Baby Jesus cry.
