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

This OP seems to be starting a lot of threads about money

Weird

OP just wants to be a lady of leisure. What's weird about that?

mum and dad out tonight and the baby sitting allowing you to use the internet!?

The last time I went on holiday was 25 years ago...to Norfolk..with my parents!

Must have been a brilliant holiday Stef

Oh I thought I was alone in being like this especially on here ! Thought it was more people that work for the thrill and enjoyment of it. Hey ho loadsnof chores to get on with now though

I’ve thought that for almost 40 years. My job is ok, but given 10 million, why would I work?

weird poster.

I think the op is being a GF. I'd not bite..,

Yawn.

Nothing wrong with a bit of wishful thinking op!
Sadly as I'm sure you're aware, life isn't that way, but there's nothing wrong with dreaming. I love my job but if the lottery rollover fell into my bank account, my boss would get my resignation on a postcard from Florida!
Are your holidays 'fancy five star villa' ones or 'week in a caravan in half term' ones...?

Oh, come on. I get it. On Mumsnet working for a living is considered a fast track to self enlightenment.

If I won the lottery, I'd lounge around a pool and be fed grapes.

Really? I am on here a shit ton and I must have missed that.

The op doesn't work, and was even considering remortgaging her house so she could spend three grand on a holiday, so clearly isn't awash with cash, so suspext that's where she is coming from.

Really Bluntness?

What about the - would you 'work of your DH were a gazillionaire' thread and all the posters who came on to say they could never not work, under any circumstance, because work filled their soul with sunshine and rainbows.

The poster is a gf. But the point is funny enough.

Elfina, that's very rare, normally it's you should work for financial independence, pension protection etc etc, but yes a lot of woman are not looking for a man to financially support them.

We go away every 2 months or so. I don't work. I'd love to work, alas, I can't be dealing with the morning commute. But DH provides for me and I can enjoy my life. It's not a bad life. I pack his suitcase, so I think I deserve it. I always look fabulous when he comes home from work, the housekeeper ensures we've a gorgeous dinner and he really appreciates me. We also have sex several times a day. 10 years in.
I'd highly recommend it.

Ah Lady, only every two months? You deserve more

Yes, to work to insure your financial wellbeing on your own terms is wise but I've seen plenty of times when working, for its own sake, is considered a worthwhile and noble pursuit, less your poor brain wither into the ether and your potential as a human is lost forever.

Tbf that mortgage idea was only me thinking out loud, of course we didn’t do it and we managed to save up for it within a matter of months, I’m just aware my eldest who is now at secondary school the number of years of her childhood are now flashing by fast as lightening
A feel I need to cram so much in while she’s still a child, which is a lot of where this is coming from

Also I certainly did think my way of thinking that be happy not to work but like more money was unsual here although less in unsual in rl
