If you would have had all the money that you would ever need would you still continue to work or just do whatever you wish to have a pleasant life? I ask this because i have heard many people saying that if the had billions on euros they couldn't live without working! it sounds pretty crazy to me because i personally would never do that, i would live my life to the maxx!

I would probably do volunteer work of some kind, but not for money. I would give up my job so that someone else who needs a job could be employed. I would probably volunteer after doing other things like travelling and some shopping and ensuring my family was looked after and giving some to my favourite charities. But I couldn't, in all good conscience, keep a job when someone else needs one.

I believe true satisfaction in life comes as a result of fulfiling your purpose in life and doing the thing which you're passionate about, not necessarily making/having billions. Most of us work coz we "have to"(coz of bills etc) and not coz we "want to".Whether you making thousands or millions, i believe there's true fulfillment in doing what you're passionate about, and it will feel more like "play" than "work". Take a look at some of the wealthiest people around, say...Oprah, can you imagine her not doing more shows simply because she now has money in the bank? Highly unlikely. Coz she's passionate about what she does, and as a result money flows. I believe having money (and lots of it) is important not so that we can idle around, but so that we can be FREE to go do things that matter more in life, like spending time with family, philanthropy, taking care of your health and impacting lives. Affluence is influence!
