I hate working. There is nothing I want more than to NOT work, which for me means choosing what to do (including nothing) as much as possible.

As many people planning FIRE (Financial Independence Retire Early), I've been working pretty hard - hah! - to maximize my income and meet my goals.

But this is different than the eternal idleness being advocated by some. If you never save enough to be idle, and still expect to consume at normal levels, you are essentially asking others to work for you. Imagine being idle but still playing games, watching TV, reading books; someone had to make the game, film the TV show and write the book, i.e. work, to enable your leisure.

If those working to maintain everybody else agree to arrangement, then it's all ok... This is generally not the case, though.
