[–] Deceptichum@quokk.au 19 points 2 years ago (1 child) Technically she does still work, although she certainly doesn’t need to survive. Her needs are well and truly met a million times over. permalink fedilink source hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Delphia@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago Exactly technically she is right. She still has a boss, she still has to turn up somewhere at a certain time and do a certain thing in order to get paid. But lets not pretend that she still NEEDS to be a "working person". Once you have enough money for working for the rest of your life to be optional (even if you had to take a significant reduction in lifestyle) you are now a different class of "worker" and that is a HUGE difference in stress and demand on your life. permalink fedilink source parent
