Speak for yourself. If I could afford to not work I absolutely wouldn't work.

So, if your food and housing was taken care of you would just stare at the ceiling all day?

I might, if that's what I felt like doing that day. The first thing I'd do would be to sleep for a year.

Of course not. I'd probably spend most of it hiking or pursuing other leisure activities. Things can be fun without being useful.

Absolutely. I can live without working but I do bc I want to be able to do those extras, the sense of accomplishment, as well as socialization.

If you don't know what to do with yourself when you're not being literally told what to do for the majority of your week, that's a you problem.
