I never said I wanted to do nothing, I said I wouldn't work, If I was loaded I'd find more enjoyable things to occupy my time, plus I have kids, you'd be surprised how much time they take up!

If I had loads of money, I'd buy run down houses and do them up (not me personally but I'd supervise )

If I enjoyed it, yeah. Nothing worse sitting at home doing nothing when everyone else is in work.

It's alright for a while but after a week or so you just get bored out of your mind.

I definitely wouldn't go back to a job I didn't need to be in. If I could afford it I'd be able to go and do whatever I enjoyed.

If I was super rich like won the lottery then I'd probably have a go at my own little business to keep me busy.

But if the question is would I just stay at home and not work at all, then no I couldn't live my whole life like that.

Yeah, doing something music and/or video game related. I don't think it'd really change my current plans.

I work part time to pay the bills and then design and make clothes in my spare time. If money was no object, then I would quit my part time job and do the design/dressmaking full time

I wouldn't do a 9 to 5 job but I'd want to do something to keep me busy when I need it.

Definitely not, never again if I didn't have to. You either need work to be happy or you don't, I don't. I would never ever get bored without a job, there is always something to do.

If I was something like an actor or singer then I would be happy to work. If I didn't need the money I wouldn't be working where I am now.

If it was a job I enjoyed (like designing) then yes, but otherwise no way.

Hmm I wouldn't actually do a proper job if I was getting no benefit or enjoyment out of it but I might do a little bit of work here and there, probably not though

I don't think I would be able to sit around and do nothing for too long though. I would go insane

I doubt many people who are used to working, and having an active mind, could bear not being involved in something or other: whether it even being actively and routinely volunteering or something.

Strictly speaking I don't need to work but I still do 20 hours a week. Have a lot more laid back attitude to work now though than I did when I was younger.

Mostly out of boredom, yeah. But I enjoy writing and if I could get a job doing that then I'd be content.
