If you were rich and could do whatever you wanted with your time, what would you do?

How would you spend your time?
Would you still go to work? 9-5?
Or would you pursue your hobbies and interests?

Does anybody here like to work?
If you had the option to not work, would you still go to work?
Or what would you do instead?

My raison d'etre is to make a difference, make the world a better place. So if wealthy I would do what I'm doing now. Both work and interests.
* I lack the imagination to enjoy working to make profits for shareholders somewhere. I don't think many of them are making the world better. So I work for organisations that help the vulnerable. If wealthy would work for the same organisation doing what I do now, for the not-very-much pay.
* If I was wealthy it's possible I would have developed a sense of entitlement, had less empathy and had simple answers for the poor, those who hurt and the battlers. Because I turned away from wealth and felt the sting of struggle, I'm a better person for it.
* If I was wealthy I would have bought the best musical instruments. Because I was broke I learnt to make them. I would be poorer for not having found ways to create what I couldn't afford, found solutions to the challenges, learnt the skills and taken pride in my workmanship.
