You say "will" but have you been without work for many consecutive years and continued to do those things? Unemployed people tend to neglect their homes! It's much easier to imagine doing that work than to actually do it. I know. I've been on both sides of the coin. It's shocking how abundance can destroy motivation.

I’ve taken six+ months off between contracts before, it’s been amazing. Time to spend with friends doing outdoor pursuits like cycling, time to do all the things work stops me doing.

I don’t believe being in a state of unemployment, which is crushing because you can't provide for yourself, is the same thing as not working because you don’t need to work.

I already do a lot of home maintenance and landscaping, I have an house that needs work and 5 acres to maintain, more or less solo. I spend lunchtimes and most weekends in it and wish there was more time in the day. There’s no imagining going on here.

So yes, I believe ‘Will’ is correct for me.

I see. Sounds like you're future-proofed. I know some retired people also have a pretty good life with their hobbies and family. But I doubt most people will cope well - especially young men who never even had profession or any way to feel worthwhile, except perhaps gaining power over other people - which seems to be what happens in contexts where there's nothing real to strive for.
