Finland has quite good social security. I don't have to work at all because the money they give for me each month will fill my basic needs at the moment. I can pay my rent and other basic bills like electricity, water, basic house insurance. Every person must have 417 euros per month pure cash after these bills. Most think that it is too low for real life and I'm quite happy that clear majority thinks that way. Otherwise social security benefits might get heavily reduced or collapse.

I could work time to time, if there would be something I like. This is probably impossible, but I would like to have a job where you define, how many days per month you work. If you don't need full wage every month, you could skip days and get wage only from days you are working. This kind of job perhaps would require high/rare education so that partial wage could be enough.

In my opinion, it is quite sad that technology is going forward all the time and basic needs are covered with very low work force, but still people are busiest than ever, more needs are created all the time which create more work to serve people who suddenly think that they can't live without some bizzare new product or service. When these people then get bored with these new things and don't buy them, tons of people are sacked. New created job can come fast and end fast.
