If you didn't have to work, how would you spend your time? (lemmy.world)

Imagine all your basic needs are covered: housing, food, healthcare, and so on. You don't need to work for a living anymore. What would you do with your time?

I know this might sound like a bit of a dreamy question, but it's been on my mind lately, especially as I see so many people working tirelessly day and night. Perhaps it's time for us to slow down and reflect on what truly matters. I'd love to hear your thoughts on this!

I would play the piano more, read all the science fiction (Azimov, Herbert, HG Wells, Orwell, Bradbury, AC Clarke, UK Le Guin...), play Boardgames & Magic the Gathering with my friends, probably start making content for youtube or twitch, make pastry everyday, do gardening and building projects around the house...

The question is, do I have any budget to do all that, or are my basic needs covered but I can't choose where to live, what I eat etc?

Honestly, I don't find any satisfaction in work because I love doing so many things and would rather do one of them for money.
