What Motivates You to Work?

What would be the real reason for you to work? Money? Promotion? To be active? Interaction with others? Worthiness? Expansion of skills? Me being unemployed for 6 months, I have found I am more busy at home that previous jobs - family, blogging, forums, reading email articles, shopping, and so on. I guess we have our basic needs for working...but their could be other pressing reasons...

I work to pay the bills that is all. I work because I have to not because I want to. I haven't worked since maybe March. Right now I'm doing some online stuff but it's not enough to pay the bills yet. I ultimately want to work from home full time but that probably won't be for a quite a while. Eventually I will have to go back to the rat race when I run out of savings (not looking forward to that) I've never had a job I've particularly loved and wanted to do forever so I guess part of my problem is. I don't think working for 30-40 years and retiring with nothing to show for it is how I want to live my life.
