I’d define it working on whatever you want for a living.

I don’t necessarily mean surfing and getting drunk every day, but just being able to make a living off something that you actually want to do.

I make enough to make ends meet and pay off my mortgage and then some, but I’m not financially secure enough to just quit from one day to the next or start a company myself to make the things that I think the world needs or that I find interesting.

I believe that there’s a huge potential if people weren’t bound to always have a job that pays the bills. Most people are limited to carrying out the ideas of a few people who have the means to live their dreams.

Universal basic income could solve this and realise that potential. And it only requires taxing of the richest or automation of the government services. If we did a little of each, we could actually have this.
