How long have you been doing "nothing"? I tried it (sort of) for a year, and found it a little dull.

- juniper_strong 6y agoThat's where I'm at. Well not "FU" money, maybe "I would prefer not to" money, job off-shored so I did nothing for a while. I had this big list of all the things I wanted to do when I stopped working, and in six months, I didn't even start doing one of them. My girlfriend said, "You're still on the computer all day, you might as well get paid for it". I hate it when my girlfriend is right.

- hardeeparty 6y agoSame - I was doing a bit of contract work on the side when I quit. Did some traveling (briefly) and then ended up making those gigs my job. Haven't even touched my FU/1-year-savings money yet after almost a year...

- dencodev 6y agoDo you not feel compelled to do something? There isn't any particular cause you want to work towards? Something political, community oriented, non-profit? I feel like there's so many causes I care about that I would love to organize if I had FU money.
- muzani 6y agoThat seems sad. I'd probably just take any job to be able to do this: https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/AlmightyJanitor https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/AlmightyJanitor
- dencodev 6y agoI spent a year doing nothing and it also drove me crazy, but I think a big component of that was knowing I needed to work againg eventually. If I had FU money I would probably find myself much less paralyzed and fine something I really enjoy doing.
