Daily Prompt Work? Optional!
If money were out of the equation, would you still work? If yes, why, and how much? If not, what would you do with your free time?
Money Money
Yes! Yes! Yes! But we need to define work.
If you mean out the door, dressed, hair, makeup done by seven or eight than; I don’t think so.
If you mean to “sustain physical or mental effort to overcome obstacles and achieve an objective or results,” than I’m in.
The question poises more about value and purpose than a job. Once a person has enough money to live the life style they are comfortable with, what are they going to do?
Really, what makes you happy?
In my case, with enough money not to work, I planned to party in retirement. I had followed the rules:
• Put others before yourself
• Volunteer to work long hours
• Spend less than you make
• Never take any sick days
Now good times and travel here I come.
Then my husband got sick, and a writing bug bit me.
Today, Bob is enjoying good health and we are traveling but, I like to write, damn I just enjoy it!
