My mum always asks me this. I don't know why, but somehow, she thinks that not working is something very boring. I'm totally baffled cos I don't see why she thinks that having no work will equate to being bored.
Think about kids. They don't work. They play and learn and hang around and everything. Do they get bored? Usually very rarely.
People get bored when there's nothing to do. When I stopped work, that doesn't mean I had nothing to do and I just hang around at home doing nothing everyday. Basically, when I stopped work, well... I stopped working. I just means I'm doing other stuff.
On a typical day, I send my wife to work, clean up my home, run errands, prepare dinner, buy groceries, meet friends, type this blog, read news, watch shows, etc, before I know it, I have to pick my wife up from work
