Being able to not work doesn't necessarily mean that you're a gazillionaire.
I suppose I could get away with not working, since I'm receiving disability payments, and there are food banks and soup kitchens in my city.
But I choose to work at a job where I'm wearing a sign and waving to traffic for 3 hours a day, 3 days a week, for no other reason that it provides me with more fun money and escape from boredom.
