Why are people doing their nails when they do nothing all day. That would be the first thing I would drop!

I'm not sure why any of these activities don't appeal OP?


Trade out the spa time for playing with dogs and training my horse and this is me! I worked like a dog for years and now I get to do this.

Because I'm disabled due to long Covid, but thanks.

You seem like you have some talents, PP - so not "nothing".

I want my kids to aspire to do something with their lives, not just sit around and mope or covet.

I love this for you. I pray, wish and hope that in this lifetime, I have the means to do the same one day soon.


How sad. I want more for myself and I am not raising my kids to aspire to this!

I know a couple. My sister has never worked. Her children are in college. She doesn't volunteer anywhere. She doesn't have hobbies. She doesn't read. She doesn't have the attention span to watch a movie. I would die of boredom.


Anyone with a brain needs to be productive.


What should they produce?


Anything meaningful - you have to ask?

It is clear this thread is not about people who report to an actual non wfh office each day.

I think you would succumb to fatal jealousy before boredom.


There is so much truth to this because you would slowly become mentally ill and start ruminating.
