Comment on Whoopi Goldberg calling herself 'a working person' garners criticism from 'The View' fans

Technically she does still work, although she certainly doesn’t need to survive. Her needs are well and truly met a million times over.

Exactly technically she is right. She still has a boss, she still has to turn up somewhere at a certain time and do a certain thing in order to get paid. But lets not pretend that she still NEEDS to be a “working person”.
Once you have enough money for working for the rest of your life to be optional (even if you had to take a significant reduction in lifestyle) you are now a different class of “worker” and that is a HUGE difference in stress and demand on your life.
