Could you "do nothing"?

[jagec]

If I had enough money to pursue my hobbies, and I was allowed to volunteer work at various places, I could pull it off. I certainly couldn't sit at the computer day after day for years to come though.

LOL what kinda question is this? Hell yes!!! What kind of person would turn down that kind of freedom?

 

[TitanDiddly]

Probably not... If I were doing nothing, I'd have to be unfathomably rich to jusitfy it. To pursue all my crazy ideas, of course... like a OC'd PC immersed in flourinert, cooled by liquid nitrogen... pwnage.

Hell yes... there are a million more productive things I could do with my life...

and this thread just shouts POLL!! (you should add one)

I'll do it when i'm approaching 40. For now, I like having goals.

i could easily stop working and do more worthwhile things with my time.

right. Even though i do not "work" i am more busy then i was when i was working.

In between takeing care of my 2 year old (though we plan on getting her in day care when she actually turns 2 next month for part of the day) mowing the lawn, cleaning up after my wife (darn lazy bum!) and my hobbies i am pretty busy.

Nearly every friday i go fishing or golfing with my father. I workout 2 days a week at the YMCA. Plus i do 90% of the cooking so i have to do the shopping also. heh I'm Mr. MOM!

edit: oh and i have been trying to figure out HTML for my site. darn stuff is a pain!

Hypothetical scenario:

You have the option of not working for the rest of your life. You can just sit around and do nothing all day, but you are subsidized with enough money to pay your bills and have a little extra on the side to spend. You have all day to do the activies you enjoy, but you wont' see another day of work for the rest of your life.

Would you do it?

yeah, i could come up with plenty of things i *enjoy* doing

a little travel
some more reading
learn a language, maybe a musical instrument, learn a craft of some kind perhaps, learn more about cooking

i dream almost every day of being able to retire now and just relax and do things i enjoy until i die...or until i want to *just* sit on my ass, which i think at some point i could handle
