You will always have to work - you need to feed yourself, clothe yourself, shelter yourself, etc. How you go about doing all of that is what matters. With that in mind, I think you;re asking "What would I do if I didn't have to have a job," which is a more interesting question.

I would find people in my community to band together to help us build and maintain our community - helping maintain each other's home, build new homes for expanding families and new comers, produce as much of our own food as possible, and adopt various technologies to make it all easier on us so we could also enjoy abundant free time for art, play, relationship, and joy.

This could be us now, but too many people sell their lives at a discount to rich narcissists. If we, instead, turn away from those useless assholes and turn, instead, to each other and form cooperative work environments where the work is equally shared - as are the proceeds - we can start building a better, more freer world where you can answer this question in real time for yourself.

Did you read the post? The person has 6-7 months coming up where they will have a job but only have to work 2-6 hours per week.

Did you read their comment? Work isn't strictly the same thing as a job

You can definitely stop working (in the traditional sense where someone pays you for your time).

This is a great thread from a 40yo lawyer who quit his job at the start of 2022. It took a lot of planning and patience but his account is a great one to follow if you aspire to do the same.

This was his recap of his first year as a very early retiree.
