Some people link their whole identity to their job. The ones that build their personality and interests outside of the workplace are the ones that find the most fulfillment when unemployed.

  Ah yes, feeling comfortable in a workplace environment now means that the person has no personality and interests...now that is a pretty crazy assessment!

But I do all those things while I also have a job...there are really so many hobbies and chores you can fit into a 16 hour day before it just becomes blah. One of my main hobbies is tennis...2 hours a day 4-5 times a week is plenty fine, I'm not going to be a professional athlete. Your comment on possibilities being endless is one of the issues for some people...in a day where anything is possible, people get overwhelmed and end up doing nothing at all.

  Yeah, that can definitely be hard to fill if you have no other obligations. If you have a family though, opening up 40 hours a week for your own personal fulfillment is pretty incredible.

  It is a defeatist attitude; you are surrendering to the current culture. Let me ask a question. If you happened to win $10-20-50 million tomorrow, would you show up to work (assuming you have a "regular" job, where you have to show up on time, ask for vacation time, get a performance evaluation, semi-begging for a promotion) as you have done for the last I don't know how many years? I don't even know if I would take the time to send my laptop back or talk to my boss about my departure. And not because I'm having a bad time at work, but it's very clear in my mind that this is something I do because I need the money. I try to "have as much fun" as I can while working, but I would have a lot more fun elsewhere.

> learn, classes to take, places to go, books to read, chores Sounds like college? I got pretty bored with that after a while.

I'd be the same. There are so many things to do, so many new experiences to feel. If I ever get retired, I'd just go back to university and start from scratch in a completely complementary field that I worked all my life so far.
