Even though I don't have to work, once a week I do. I volunteer at a children's hospital. Once a week I have a purpose. I do it because someday I want to have paid employment, and it looks better on a resume if you have experience with something, even if you are not paid for it. I am too bored being a housewife. Too lonly too. I don't have co-workers to chat with. PC is the closest thing to socialization that I have. So not having to work does not always equal happiness. If anything, it can get depressing.
