If you didn't have to work, how would you spend your time?

Imagine all your basic needs are covered: housing, food, healthcare, and so on. You don’t need to work for a living anymore. What would you do with your time?

I know this might sound like a bit of a dreamy question, but it’s been on my mind lately, especially as I see so many people working tirelessly day and night. Perhaps it’s time for us to slow down and reflect on what truly matters. I’d love to hear your thoughts on this!

I don’t work I quit work at 35 and am now 58. It takes time Toni shacke from the societal indoctrination Misha bleeding work as worthy. I live off a small investment income from investments made decades past (I was buying shares from age 19 and have always been frugal growing up poor, I also own my own modest cottage in a small rural village) Those investments have only grown through no particular perspicacity of mine.

Eventually you can come to understand that freedom is and do what you want. My only regret ? Not quitting earlier, those years were wasted and I can’t get them back.

Read. Study topics I don’t know about. Learn new skills and try out new experiences. Travel to different places I haven’t visited before.

Read, write, gym, combat sports, paint, study, research, try to contribute to science, astronomy, camping, gardening, fishing, and a lot more.

Mostly I’d just do the same thing, but for myself rather than anyone else. I’m almost there, because I started my own company, but I’m still coding to make money rather than coding for fun. It would be great just to write code for fun. Until I’m able to, I’m just working on my email service, Port87. It is really nice to work for myself, at least.

I have disability income so I’m kind of in this situation already and what I spend my time doing is contributing bug reports to open source software and answering questions for people on how to get started with different things and just helping the communities in general.

What I do when I have spare time: write. I just don’t seem to have had any spare time recently.

If I didn’t get go work I would be bored for a while until I get used to it. I don’t have much content in my life and work is a key aspect in keeping routines and all that jazz.

I would play the piano more, read all the science fiction (Azimov, Herbert, HG Wells, Orwell, Bradbury, AC Clarke, UK Le Guin…), play Boardgames & Magic the Gathering with my friends, probably start making content for youtube or twitch, make pastry everyday, do gardening and building projects around the house…

The question is, do I have any budget to do all that, or are my basic needs covered but I can’t choose where to live, what I eat etc?

Honestly, I don’t find any satisfaction in work because I love doing so many things and would rather do one of them for money.

Get a couple of dogs and a camper van and travel with my wife, UK, Europe and then further afield.

Probably work on Château Picard. Like living in a hypothetical post-scarcity world, having all of your needs met is not an excuse not to do productive work, or to adopt selfish goals.

Having your basic needs covered is cool, but I’d like some money on top of that, too. So work it is.

I know a lady who is retired but wealthy, and she spends her spare time in a sewing club, making really high quality beautiful clothes for low-income families in smaller low-income areas, and provides those clothes to those families for free.

When she told me that the first time, my estimates of her went through the roof.

Find a job I’d love.

I don’t want to be useless, but now I wouldn’t have to be worried about money.
