Yes, it's terrible when all your money's tied up in your parents' house... ;-) I particularly enjoyed one of the reader comments on the article that PMM linked to that suggested private income as an alternative to work - surely this is dependent on everyone else in society continuing to work, otherwise your investments wouldn't actually genereate any income. As Peter Cook said when asked how he supported himself "I am not working class... private income and blackmail..."
Some strange people like me do actually enjoy their work though. If you've got a shitty job that's getting you down why not leave and do something else - I enjoyed what I did, I just couldn't stand working in a corporate environment, so I took voluntary redundancy to start my own spectacularly unsuccessful company (no money earned in almost 18 months - go me!)
