I'm unemployed, can anyone give a reason why I would want to get a job?

It should be a job that doesn't feel like a job. Pick something that you have always been good at and have loved to do already, then find a way to get paid to do it. That's the best method.

Money is just a simple way to trade goods and services. Work hard, keep as much money as you need to live, save some for a rainy day, then use the rest to help others. If you don't trust a charity, find someone who needs it more than you. An old person, a sick person, whatever works for you.

Live in a cardboard box over a heating vent from December 1, 2011 to February 28, 2012, in Chicago, Illinois.

See if you don't get some motivation to rent an apartment.

Because if you stay home all the time, it gets BORING to be online all the time and watch daytime TV shows. If, for some reason you don't like money, then volunteer to do something and get out of the house. And by the way, since you're alive, you're GETTING money from somewhere (probably from the government), so apparently you DO like things money can buy, like food and shelter.

i really don't know how you manage to survive.. but if you really have no motivation for money, then how about you do volunteer work? If you go to a place that you enjoy, then you will feel good if it is something to do with changing the world! And there's no money to put you off!

Even if you want to revert back to the barter system, you still will need to do some kind of work to acquire or produce a commodity for trade.

Good luck getting an employer to pay you gold instead of cash.

Back rubs will only go so far.

Without money, how do you buy food and clothes, pay for your accommodation, or even pay to use the computer or phone with which you have posted this?

You need to stop kidding yourself. Its not some strange affliction to money. You just don't want to work. If you have enough self respect to take money that you haven't earned, you would have even more respect if you actually earned it. Give it a try. You might enjoy it.

being able to make friends with other people

you will not be bored and stuck in the house you will sleep well at night, you wont feel like a scrounger you wont have to worry about paying the heating bill or food to eat and you will be doing something worthwhile

It seems not having a job has better benefits now days. You can go on welfare and everyone else will pay for your care. Having a job means you have to pay for your expenses no excuses.

If money puts you off then I really don't know what to suggest. Find something you enjoy and stop claiming benefits or whatever.
