I did this for 1 of the 2.5 years I was unemployed (the rest I was actually studying programming, which counts as work). I read a lot of fitness articles about joints and fixed things that were broken about my body with careful therapy exercises. You have to keep fit, but you have time to do it the fun way, so I took up ice skating, kayaking, and skiing. With enough time to read and practice you can get lots better than most adult learners. I didn't visit any friends and don't regret that at all. I played with a lot of nieces and nephews. There is still more entertainment in the world than you can consume even 24/7, and you can still wish for more free time even when you have nothing but. I would stop working in a second if I didn't have to. Although, one thing I will also do is feel guilt that everyone else is working and I've got it so nice. Even though I came by the money honestly, it's just a waste of potential. I'm not sad I quit the job I couldn't stand but I'm glad I went back to work eventually.
