I was pretty damn happy hiking and checking out Zion National Park last week. Had I had more time and had a bicycle, it would have been even better.
For the most part, any major improvements to my life will be from things that are free, but aren't easy to get.

And less work only means less money if you are the only person working less. If supplies and natural (and man-made) resources are abundant and aren't being manipulated by investors and the flow of 'big money', then shifting the decimal point of everyone's money won't have a major impact.
And it doesn't get into using technology to do your job for you 24 hrs a day. I went to Jack-in-the-Box and used the ATM type order entry terminal. I use the automated checkout machine at the grocery store and hardware store. And countless other machines now do the work that people used to get paid for. Us computer people are creating a situation where we are eliminating lots of jobs, yet not giving the people who lose those jobs a easy path to another job.
