No--I think I would do more voluntary work and political activism, but I don't think I would care about working to make money. It's nice to make a good living, but I can think of many things I'd rather be doing--like traveling all over the world.

But to answer the question, NO.......why would I? I work to pay bills, put food on the table and stash some away for retirement. If that's all handled I'd stop working immediately.

I could easily find ways to stay busy every single day.
I'm part of a brotherhood of telephone workers that you wouldn't understand. We've been offered 2 years' pay to retire early and people who already qualify for their 30 year pension declined it. No one took it.

Doubt it would be much different if they won $10M. This is the kind of job that you have to carry us away in a casket before we would voluntarily retire.

Nope. I’d quit my job and open a dog rescue and save the lives of many animals. So I guess that would be work in a sense but not in the traditional way and it would definitely lose money rather than earn it.

People who have 10 billion dollars still work everyday and much harder than many people who have only 100 in their bank accts.

I'd travel and also buy a bar. I'd have people run it for me and try to be successful. Even if didn't make enough profit i'd keep it open anyway. Perhaps i'd lay people off and then run it myself on my own terms.

NO. I've been dealing with an insurance company recently. An amazing number of utter boneheads hold down jobs there, nobody gets it. I told my wife, "This is like being back at work, dealing with loonies and dysfunctional morons all day."
