"They don't do it for the money."

And

"Once you have money you discover how Unimportant money is."

If this is how they feel, then why do they continue to do things for money???

If King is true to his word, then all books should now make him zero dollars. All profit should be given to a charity WITHOUT claiming a tax benefit.

If those who say money is not important are true to their word, then they should give all they have to charity (without tax benefits) and live off welfare.

Fact is, neither of those things will ever happen. And those who make those kinds of remarks are hypocrits.

Let their actual actions be a guide.

Funny thing about this...

As a child, all our wants and needs are taken care of without our concern. We have no worry of paying a bill, paying for food, entertainment, etc.

As adults, we then spend our working hours striving to get back to the care-free days of our childhood. The only exception being, we don't have to ask our parents for what we want, we can buy it ourselves (if we can afford it).

Rather ironic, really.

So why work?

I work - whatever that means - so I can

A: Put food in the table

B: Pay bills

C: Increase my income so I can

D: Invest to the point I generate enough income to

E: put food on the table, pay bills, invest, not work and still grow my wealth.

There is a certain danger in limiting the reasons you work. For it could be said, continue to work and the government can take care of your food and bills for you (communism).

Which is why I have the "growth elements" in my list of reasons.

Idle hands makes an idle mind. Or something like that.

Actually, Boyd, I don't fully understand this last question.

What you might consider work, I might not. And visa versa.

What would I do? Anything I wanted to do. And some of that you might think of as work but I wouldn't.

Of course, you may be asking a rhetorical question as something for us to ponder in our own minds.
