When I stopped working (cause I was tired and had saved more than enough money), I pretty much played video games and smoked pot for 2 years. My spouse gave me a hard time, because she was getting social pressure because of it. But, she basically told everyone to lay off because I was a responsible adult. After about 2 years, I got bored with video games and started coding again for fun. But, my spouse was awesome for her continual support.
But, it was irritating that people gave me a hard time about it. Some people seem to need shared pain, and if they’re in pain but they see someone chilling, they’ll react to it.

In my mind it was clear that I was referring to working age people who could use all that free time for something else. Personally, I am looking forward to some gardening. I've spent several decades playing games multiple hours almost every week. Clearly not everyone has been wasting their youth as I did and I am glad for people who finally get to do what they want.
