Most of it. I don't work or spend much time on school so most of my time is spent listening to hetty jams and getting intoxicated.

The only two things in life that make it worth living are guitars to tune good and firm felling women.

How much of a week do you enjoy?
Pretty much all of it. My husband and I figured out long ago that working a 9-5 wasn't for us. We're not slaving our lives away to pay an outrageous mortgage, car notes and bills.
So we went for the simple life in the country and we live our life doing what we want. I don't expect my husband to kill himself working to buy stupid materialistic sh**. I want my husband to be happy and to live life his way.
My husband earns a living working as he pleases, working cattle, making hay, hunting gators, whatever he wants. Our house and land is paid off and we have no debt. If he wants to go hunting, he hops on his 4 wheeler and heads for the woods. If he doesn't want to work for a week, that's up to him.
The thing is that to many people put off the things they want to do and then end up dying without ever doing those things (like my late fiance). My husband is going to enjoy his life and I do my dangdest to support whatever chooses to do.

What about retirement? Are you or he independently wealthy?
I mean, my wife and I plan on not working a day after we turn 60 and are putting away quite a bit, but we do owe on our house. We choose to spend our money on experiences rather than materialistic things for ourselves, but we know we need to have a good bit to retire when we want.
You can't live paycheck to paycheck and expect to support yourself until you die.

Well yeah, thats kind of my point.

i have set up my whole life to be able to spend maximum amount of time doing things I enjoy doing. Work is pretty much of things I do that hate.
The rest of it is set up for my pleasure.

Other than sparse time spent watching television, all of it.

This. Working 60 hrs/week will do that for you, though.

I try to live every day, even if I'm doing shite I hate, I try to keep my focus on the fact that I'm a piece of walking meat roaming around a rock in the middle of space. Every one I know will die, so spending a day thinking about how much I hate work is a waste, when I could be thinking about how much I love my family.
I try to remember that life is bigger than me, and try to remove my ego from most of my thoughts. Which makes this post seem hypocritical, because nothing makes you seem more egotistical than bragging to strangers on the internet about how enlightened you are.
But anyways, I thought I would share for discussion purposes.

We have a good bit of acreage which provides income (cattle, hay, pecans). We are not independently wealthy, just smart with our money. We basically already live as if we are retired so it is not like retirement means anything different (except getting social security if it still exists).
My husband will continue to do his cattle and hay and such for the rest of his life because that is what he likes to do. He is not the type to sit around and do nothing. He would not be happy staying indoors all day.
We are not living paycheck to paycheck. We are comfortable and secure. We have put a lot of thought and work into creating the life we have together.

Nope, no "gubment assistance". We work for everything we have. We simply live on a budget and don't spend money of stupid stuff that we can't afford.

Fighting non-existant demons takes a lot of time, brah.

An hour or so of the day that I'm not working (teacher).
Weekends: Saturday, but so tired I mostly want to do nothing.
Ugh.
