>Unemployed by choice is an unfamiliar notion... but, on reflection, anyone with in-demand skills and sufficient savings does have that choice. Very right. But we need to remember the "Time" factor too (i.e. Ageing). I am in a peculiar place, due to circumstances which have left me no option but a single unfavourable one and it has been hard maintaining needed "in-demand skills" for a possible future career resurgence. So i am thankful that i worked like crazy when younger and saved up which is what is sustaining me now.
