Well, a big part of my motivation for working is providing for my retirement, so assuming that an income enough to cover basic necessities was assured, it would be quite liberating to not have to worry about it (I admit, it's not quite a worry as much as an abstract anxiety, I'm soon to be 24).

It's funny to me that what I do generally is volunteering (getting paid a tiny stipend and expenses provided for) and what the world would like after a basic income is universal volunteerism, which is a goal of mine. Because it's a goal to expand service opportunities, I'd have to change gears a bit. That said, I would continue to work at this summer camp doing facility improvement and upkeep for the rest of the summer. I'd read and write a lot more. The money I'd make in excess of what I need to travel I would give to worthy causes.

I've lived a life where I've had nothing to do, and it got too boring within a matter of days. I wonder though how generations born after a basic income would behave. I love work and travel because I appreciate it after being more or less forced to do it -- I appreciate the rejuvenating quality of work. Here is Tolsoy's take on work's effect.
