Is it weird that, I don’t really ever want to return to work, yet I do want more money !

[LardLizard]

For holidays and fun stuff,don’t get me wrong I can’t complain this year we will be going on holiday four times
I just want even more holidays

I don't think I'd use the word weird, no.

Spoilt. Detached from reality. Entitled maybe. Who is supposed to provide you with this fun lifestyle of multiple holidays a year if you can't be bothered to work for it yourself?

No, the rest of us just adore working and hate money.

Strange post!
Is your dh a high earner op or maybe you have family money?
I love my job, I was thinking the other day I would still work even if I won the lottery, in fact I would get numerous projects running.
And be even busier! Of course you can take more risks when have more money but I digress

I do work but it’s for a charity voluntary

Yes evening I won the lotto, I’d still do my charity work

Evening ? Even if I mean !

You don't work, you volunteer.

What would you do if your husband left you or died?

I don't really like my job at the moment so yes, I would like more money and not to go to work. It's not going to happen though, is it?

I think most people would like to not work and have money!!!!! Doesn't make you weird, it's why millions do the lottery each week.

Not even a stealth boast!

Ummmm no that's not weird.

Sorry you can't afford more holidays.

I fancy getting pocket money too but sadly my work expect me to work for it. Rotters!

Well, that brightened my day

You poor thing only going on holiday 4 times. However will you cope?

My advice is Get A Bloody Grip!

But the situation is that in life if you want something you WORK for it. Bully for you if your circumstances mean you can afford 4 holidays a year without working.

Well the goadiness is strong in this one.

If you can’t afford more, how about crowd funding?

I might be a tad sarcastic. Saying that I’d be on a permanent holiday if I could.

Inspired by this thread, I’ll tell my clients on Monday that I’ll be delivering half the work for double the fee. Is that weird?

This puts me in mind of naive people at work who announce, “I’m very ambitious”. Yeah, unlike anybody else, eh? Or the twats who have read an article in the Daily Express, Woman’s Own or similar, telling them how to ask for a pay rise.

I think most people would want more money for no work. Totally not an unreasonable wish. You would be unreasonable to actually expect it to happen or think you’re entitled to it.

I gave up my job...I also gave up extra money for clothes, make-up, hair appointments, holidays etc etc etc.

Enjoy your 4 holidays. Sorry to hear you couldn’t afford the 5th 🤣

I recommend doing the lottery and if you win you can fling a few quid my way please. Enjoy your holidays.

I think most people would rather not work, or do something entirely different. Just like most people would also like more money.

You and probably 95% of the population, OP!

No one really likes work, that’s why they have to incentivize with money....

Book yourself a spa day hun.

Isn't this everyone?! Wanting to work less for more money? Unfortunately it's not realistic as you know.
4 holidays sounds pretty good really
