I've never seen that perspective.

Work has always been a distraction from my hobbies. _Always_. Sometimes they're related, but often they're not.

Though... Your stance lines up with people who work well into their retirement years while not needing the income? I'd struggle to give two weeks notice if I suddenly had enough money to live on for the rest of my life.

I like work because work provides value for other people. I don't like hobbies because hobbies provide value only to myself, and I am already worth enough as I am. What's there not to get?
