If you NEVER worked in your life ever, think about it for whatever reason, you don't think you've missed out on anything? You've never met anyone at work that you consider to be a friend?
We were talking about a woman who was proud that she had NEVER held a job. A person that goes around saying that is NOT going to volunteer at the soup kitchen.

This is all summed up in that recent documentary "Born Rich"
Rich Guy: "Well, I don't have to work, but I do think I should get a job."
Working Guy: " Why?"
Rich Guy: "Why do you work?"
Working Guy: "Because I have to. No one would ever work if he didn't have to."
If I had the money, I'd travel. And I'd never once think I missed anything. What scares me most is that someday after working 12 hours to make money to live what's left of my life, I'll drop dead of a heart attack having never seen the pyramids up close or any of the other shit I'd like to do if I had the time.
The Puritan work ethic is perhaps the stupidest ideal ever put forward. Today's work/spend/work/spend perversion of it is even stupider.
