I would be fucking bored out of my mind if I stopped working for the rest of my life. Worst case, I just live my life making weird art-house games or something.
Obviously you do SOMETHING. But fuck if you ever go to an office. And fuck if you do any single thing for 8 hours a day, 5+ days a week. Wide variety, moderation, no schedule. Just freewheel it with no cares.

I'm sorry that I've decided to chase what I would like to do in life, regardless of financial situation?
Surprise! There are a multitude of different lifestyles that fulfill people's lives!
Surprise! Some of them are harmful!
What's harmful about continuing to do what you love?
There's something harmful about sacrificing your life for the benefit of a corporation more than is necessary to survive. Even if you enjoy it, it's still harmful to yourself and to society as a whole.
If someone was an alcoholic, and I said they should stop harming themselves, are you going to say "What's harmful about them doing what they love?"

Okay. I'll let cancer researches know that they should quit their jobs because it makes someone else money too. I'll make sure Bill Gates knows he doesn't need to do all that work against malaria because it's not necessary to survive. I'm certain that Paul McCartney will stop touring because it's extremely profitable for EMI.

They shouldn't quit. They just shouldn't harm themselves in the process. If a cancer researcher is putting in Silicon Valley work hours, they should go home and see their family. If Paul McCartney is on tour, he's only working every few days when he's got a show. The rest of the time he is doing whatever the fuck he wants, because he's Paul McCartney.
Bill Gates worked way too hard. How much do you think his kids saw of him growing up? His billions can't buy that time back.

I would totally work hard in my own brewery which I would build with my ludicrous amounts of money. That's a more realistic way to operate a brewery than actually trying to brew professionally.
Quitting my job would end the conflict of interest that prevents me from operating my own charcuterie establishment. Then I would open a bar specializing in pretentious beer and cured meats. Meadhall style, naturally.

I would probably open an speed shop and start building weird low displacement twin turbo V8s for fun. Maybe someone would buy them, I don't give a fuck.

After taking care of my family and friends, putting some money aside for investments, giving to various charities, etc. I'd love to build an awesome comic shop and board game store with a great indy selection of books and games, lots of tables for people to play, and a chill comfortable atmosphere where people can come and hang out.
