Hell yes I could live like that, I'm lazy as shit.
I have never done an honest day's work in my life. I get the opportunity to keep that record going you can bet your ass I'm going to take it.
Though I might possibly pick up a part time job if I start wanting for more stuff than my "monthly income" allows for.

If i had done something that justifies the salary, damn yes, my work is done. But a lot of hobbies i have or would pick up can be seen as work too.
Just because you do something you like its not unproductive. I could happily dedicate my workfree life to acting in theatre plays i would organize, i would do more for the festival i am volunteer for for years now, i would pick up drawing again, i would spend more time with my GF and friends, i would study everything that just interests me without caring if its "useful". It would be paradise on earth i say. Screw work.

It would be amazing to have all that time to paint without any soul sucking job or responsibilities like that. I'd drop all the ridiculous random courses I'm forced to take and just take the art ones that I want since my degree would matter even less now. Just walk dogs and cook new things and recline in a comfy little apartment. Probably do some volunteer work or something if my ego wasn't satisfied by the mysterious thing I previously made to benefit the community.
That's pretty much how I live now, and its fucking awesome. I sit around all day, studying history and philosophy, playing music, writing books.
People who get bored just aren't utilizing their time correctly.

How could anybody turn this down because they want to, "Feel more productive,"? Don't you understand that the reason for the unproductivity and laziness in our lives is caused by the 9-5 routines we're stuck in? When you get into that routine of, 'Wake up early, go to work, get home, relax, sleep, repeat,' All you want to do with your free time is relax. You only have a few hours of free time, you're tired, you just want to make the most of it, by doing nothing.Colour-Scientist said:
Now, imagine that that 9-5 routine was gone. You don't have to work, you don't have to wake up early, the number of hours in a day is not limited for you. I can almost guarantee that if a person could live like that, they WOULD NOT just sit around loafting, playing video games, smoking, etc. Sure, maybe they would for the first few weeks, but after the shock of it wears off, they would get bored. They would need to go out and do something productive. They would take up art and want to create things, or go back to school for something, anything, and they wouldn't be doing it just to get a job down the road. They would be doing it just because its something that they are interested in and want to learn. They might even start volunteering, devote some of their excess free time to helping others.
Fuck the 9-5. Do you have any idea how productive we could be without it?
if i had just a life time supply of money i'd be filling my life with experience, learning, observing and living
I lived like that for two years and I miss it, different circumstances but I didn't need to work to support myself and now I do.
I would socialise a lot, and probably get a part-time job. I will not get stressed with working a lot if I need not do so.
Still work (write). Make something of myself (hopefully) tell some good stories (maybe), whatever the medium.
Yes. I'm antisocial enough that I'd love to be paid for what I've done in the past (beyond my VA disability, which doesn't cover the bills)... and I'd have more time to work on cars, computers and such. Maybe I'd even build the car I've been wanting to for the past decade.
I already have a job I love and have flexible hours, so for some of the time it wouldn't make much difference. But every once in a while I'd like to have extended vacations for some time and travel the world.
Besides traveling, having a guaranteed income would open up the possibility to try a lot of stuff that I wouldn't do now because they're financially risky.
So yeah, having more money (assuming is something like profits or royalties and not welfare) can only increase your options and your freedom. You can still work if you like, or just dedicate yourself to one or more hobbies, or do charity/volunteer work or just do nothing.

Considering that the way I have been like after graduation (trust me I have been trying to get a job) I pretty sure I can handle that. However if that somehow happen for real it does give me more option to do like going to the gym and etc.
