I would not. I retired from the U.S. Army and I went bat shit crazy with nothing to do.

Na i'd still be working on my own products. Money is important to me to have a comfy life but i also want to make a product that actually helps people. If the first condition is satisfied i'd still be working on the second.

It depends how you define work, but in my sense I would not stop working. Living without objectives is really awful, and you have to work to accomplish your objectives.

I don’t think I’ll ever stop working. I like being challenged intellectually.

No, there are so many things that need to be explored and also when we work for something, we have a will , goal , get experience , happiness, etc.

No, I like what I am doing. But I would do more "lazy stuff" like traveling, leisure etc.

Depending on what "work" means to you. I am super happy with what I am doing right now and if that would be called "work" for others I wouldn't stop.

I would stop working for profits and start working for value creation and giving back to the community. Quick and free money has very very low sustainability value. Also, I would fund small business and startups with fractional/no equity and mentor them for the rest of my life.

NO! I would become volunteer

NO. If I get enough money, I will invest a fraction of it and will try to increase my money. So that I can help others with my money. Along side , I will keep working in case I run out of money.

I cannot stop working even on vacation. But financial freedom gives a possibility to choose the projects.

I wouldn't. money definitely wouldn't be a high priority anymore. I like the old saying "It is better to wear out than to rust out."

as long as I can do it, I'll never stop working.

I'll invest that money so that money works for money, and I'll continue working as a Designer, as I really enjoy it!
Pallavi Jaisinghani
Nope! I'm a writer and I only work for limited hours on projects I enjoy. I love my work & I would love to continue working till the end of my days.
