Thanks for trying Wise Turtle, but I'm afraid you've got the wrong end of the stick. It isn't that my job isn't fulfilling or socially useful; I don't have a job. I don't work for money. My husband and I have sufficient assets that I stay at home and he works. I do this by choice (mine and his).
I've worked at professional jobs. I ran my own business for years, and enjoyed it. But I don't do that now. I stay at home, manage our house and our investments. I'm studying design and I do virtual volunteering, but I don't earn money. So I'm a moocher in Steve's taxonomy, a parasite.
Over the 50-odd years of my life, I've seen women move into the labour market en masse. As a woman, it's been great for me. I've had opportunities to do all kinds of things that women before me couldn't.
But over the last 30 years we've monetized every action -- instead of doing things ourselves (like taking care of our kids, or cooking our own meals, or cleaning our own houses) now we pay other people to do them.
Is work done for money more socially useful (or conscious) than work done for "free?" Is the meal I cooked this evening worth less to society than the one we could have bought in a restaurant?
I like the ideas surrounding the Law of Attraction -- attracting more of what you really want. I want freedom and experiences, not money -- kind of a direct thing, which is why I linked to Christine Kane's post above.
