It's me, I don't want to work anymore.

I would love to just be a stay at home dad and keep the house clean, do chores, and cook meals for my family. Is that too much to ask?

I love cooking and baking and would do the same.

If money were somehow not an object, i would also be free to work on my friends and families houses too, or even say a library or school in the community with the skills i have, contributing to the community that way. If i were doing it for people or something i cared about, it wouldnt feel like work.

Absolutely. I would do more volunteer work in a heartbeat. The moments I felt like I was actually helping contribute to our society was cooking breakfast for our unhoused community. I mean in a better society we wouldn't have food insecurity so that volunteering would go elsewhere but can't we just use our free time to just help people? Nope, we gotta stress about working and trying to not get fired.
