If money weren’t a factor, would you still choose to work? I’ve been wondering if I could live comfortably without a job, how would I actually spend my days? I enjoy parts of my work, but let’s be real… a lot of it is stress and endless meetings. Would I still log in every morning? Honestly, I’m not sure. Would you keep doing what you do now, or try something completely different?

I’d let the day unfold slowly: morning walk, good coffee, maybe some creative work, maybe nothing at all. Like giving your mind permission to breathe. I would try new things every single day!

I actually really love this mindset of just allowing yourself to do what you’d like in the day

I would quit. I’d just be home with my babies.

That’s such a sweet reason to step away from work!

I would definitely not work. Family, volunteering, giving back sure but no formal employment. Live my life as it comes

That sounds like a really fulfilling way to live!

I think I could not. I may choose to work paart time contract, fewer hours etc but I thinl I need to find something to do. If all mu friends are bot working free all day, maybe another story but I would feel lonely and antisocial. (Or maybe I am coping hahahha)

Haha, I get that, part-time sounds like a good middle ground. I think I’d feel the same way… without some structure or people to interact with, I’d probably go stir-crazy.

I would work. But it definitely would not be in this industry.

Totally get that, it’d be the great to pivot into something you actually love.

I’d do something different but I’d definitely still work.

Honestly I have no idea but something with a purpose.

I like to think I’d always want to do some sort of work, but I’m not sure it’d be full time. Maybe something no more than 15 hrs/week

Yeah, that sounds like the perfect balance! Keeping engaged without the full-time grind.

No chance ahahah. I would travel and enjoy my life! I’d volunteer at animal sanctuary’s!

Absolutely! Vietnam (but I am going next year with my partner) , New Zealand, Thailand, loads of the Greek islands.
Honestly if I could just travel forever and have no money worries I 100% would :D

Has anyone here used the "Read Scripture" app? It goes through the entire Bible and includes accompanying summary videos from "The Bible Project" (whose videos can also be found on YouTube). I love how it groups portions of Scripture and the videos are helpful for making meaningful connections with the text. I love these for myself, but they're super kid-friendly, too. Excellent support for your daily study. Enjoy!
