I last left off talking about my ideas on how work would function in an Equal Money System. In this post I will give my suggestions for how relaxing and having fun should function in such a system. I've never really thought about this so please bear with me as I create a solution out of thin air by analyzing what we have created so far. Please refer to the Joe's Equal Money System ideas post before reading this blog post.
The subject is Entertainment. After you've worked hard supporting everyone else through the EMS what will you do once you get home from work or school? Well in our current system some people don't have enough money so that they can go out to restaurants or theme parks everyday so one would probably resort to doing things at home like watching TV or going on the internet. Of course the more adventurous people would go outside with friends and find something free to do.
In an EMS you would probably go swimming or ice skating or other leisurely activities where you could enjoy yourself. Because you'll be getting a large sum of money you'll find support doing things like horseback riding or sky-diving. You'll be able to experience these types of things in life because what is considered basic income will be raised to a higher standard.
I suppose the EMS would be some sort of Utopia without the dreaded glass dome.
Well continuing on with jobs I wanted to add that jobs will be based on your choice initially. This means that you will be able to choose what job you want to be in based on availability of that job. But if push comes to shove and if there are people needed to fill in other jobs that are necessary like farming or the dreaded sewage then people will first be offered to take the job and then people will be involuntarily staffed there based on the location of the person.
Leisure jobs could be things like painting, being a musician, being a lifeguard on the beach, or doing massages. So in a nutshell there's a fun job for everybody in an equal money system.
Stay tuned for another part of Joe's Equal Money System ideas. Next I will be tackling healthcare!
Till next time.

Joe's Equal Money System ideas
As I'm sitting here while my vacation slowly finishes I know that I will eventually have to go back to school so that I can learn how to get a job and give up my dollars for the capitalism in the form of taxes. So basically all my life I've been learning how to do tons of paperwork without question and always being afraid of authority in the form of my teacher or in the case of having a job my boss.
Now my idea of working in an equal money system is where everyone is supporting everybody else through their work. There will be jobs like farming, construction, and real science. Farming because we need to eat and we need to eat natural and healthy for once! Construction because houses need to be built more efficiently and for people to use for sleep and shelter and not only to show off how much money one has.
Of course there are tons more jobs that I could mention. Why not education? I believe that in an EMS that the subjects taught have to be specifically pertaining to the relevant experience of a person within an equal money system. One should learn the basics of how the world works, the basics of farming, the basics of construction, reading, writing, and necessary math. I say necessary because the math that is taught in my high school classes are not teaching me something that could be useful in everyday life. It would be great to learn geometry or any other abstract math, but if I should learn something about for example grids then it should be applied to something like planting or farming.
In a nutshell education should be geared towards making an effective human being with a strong potential for solving everything that may come within his or her path.
When I say real science I mean scientists who work truly for the betterment of humanity. No longer will scientists attempt to discover string theories and other dimensions but instead will find better ways to grow crops or eliminate/alleviate disease or any other thing that focuses on making life for human beings more efficient and satisfying.
I have to go now but stay tuned for Joe's Equal Money System ideas Part 2.
