I've been ten years disabled to the point that I don't have a job. My life has been more fulfilling in that decade than it ever was in my able bodied, over worked previous life.

I take care of my household, I volunteer where I'm able to, I seek out new topics to learn just out of curiosity, and I have a heap of different hobbies I bounce between. Sure, I get bored sometimes, but it's a much cleaner boredom than the kind I got at work.

No way I'm the only one who can very much enjoy an unemployed life. That article is a bunch of bullshit.
