[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I work and like my job, but I would not work if I had your trust fund.

The good apartment and basic income would be enough for me though.  Read, exercise, write a novel, and never feel stressed or tired from a full time work schedule: that sounds like heaven to me.  Is being able to afford nice vacations really worth spending 40 hours a week at a job?  It wouldn’t be worth it to me.

You are so lucky.[/quote]

I agree. What is there to complain about? [/quote]

Eh I get what she's talking about. [b]I'm a SAHM of school aged kids so I have a lot of time to myself during the day. I like to putz around on the Internet while I leisurely [b]drink coffee, work out, take long walks, read, listen to podcasts, clean and decorate the house, [/b]etc. etc. I can fill the time easily.[/b] But I realize that not many people live like this. In the world we live in, your job = your identity, especially in the US. It's usually the first thing people ask when they meet you. It's what you spend most of your time doing. When you don't have that, it's easy to feel adrift.

This sounds like heaven to me? I don't know what you are complaining about. Many (most?) people would not work full time if they didn't need or want the money.[/quote]

NP. Might sound like heaven until you’ve actually tried it. All this stuff can start to feel hollow pretty quickly. [b]I think most people want to feel valued and purposeful in some way.[/b][/quote]

And they can do that outside of working a 9-5 grunt job. You have the time and the financial freedom OP, go volunteer or do something to help people less fortunate than you. Like me. Come help me. [/quote]
