Wrong!!!! I could stay at home and do nothing if I wanted to. I took my time going to school, getting a PhD, looking for a job, etc. I am lucky to have enough family money where I did not NEED to work so I waited until I found something I really liked. I am married and have 2 kids so even if I did not work and kept my FT nanny, I would still have something to do and things to take care of (volunteering at the kids’ school, enriching activities for the weekend, etc), but I would feel useless and soooo bored. Unless you two (PP and OP) are at home studying, writing books, or becoming experts at something, I could never imagine living in your emptiness. Again, I work because I want to and not because I need to.[/quote]

Awesome, I'm glad your work is so fulfilling and that you had the fortune to be able to find something to do that you love.  Now imagine if that thing you love doing didn't provide you with a paycheck. That's what my life is like, and how I imagine OP's.  The only difference is that the thing you choose to do for a stimulating life involves getting paid for it.  Ours doesn't.  [/quote]
