Should people work if they don't financially need to work?

I think that it is not selfish to work. It is right, and it's biblical to work hard and provide for the needs of the family. There are billionaires who doesn't need to work but they do because they want to maintain what they have, and in the process, help other people. Some people work because they want to do something, the reward or wages, or salaries are just an added bonus, though they are financially secured!

It's up to them. They have the right to choose whether they still want to work or not. It's not their fault that the economy's bad or if other people are finding hard to have a job. Yes, a lot of financially independent people are really creating jobs for someone else, but they still have the right to just work if they want to.=)

I am willing to go out on a limb and agree with you completely. I think that people who actually need jobs in order to live should be given priority over people who already have all the money they need to live (like people who got a huge inheritance or something like that). Ideally, I think everyone should be able to have a satisfying, useful job to provide for themselves and occupy their time; however, in this world, that dream is simply not a reality. There are not as many jobs as there are people, and I think that it would provide more jobs for those who need them if those who don't need them step back.
