Bitter lover
Singing in three choirs. One at the local church once a week and every two Sundays, one for promoting young composers and one for singing the great works of the past. Although unpaid like the two others, the latter activity can't really be called volunteering, but studying music scores and learning lyrics by heart might help my andropaused brain deteriorating less rapidly. Oh, and singing makes happy.
Visiting my 95 yr old mother regularly at the nursing home, sometimes on days I'd prefer doing something else. Not that this is exceptional, in fact I am sure many Fishies do that too. I guess it is really important as life in a nursing home, with plenty of time at disposal for brooding and having regrets, isn't always fun.

While this might apply in some cases, I struggle with the thought to live in a society where basically everything is just done for money, and where there's no money nothing gets done. In my case I will quit the church choir at the end of the season as I am sick of waiting all the time for the tenors to hit the right notes , but I already know I will miss the feeling of volunteering for something. This is worth far more than the few quid you might earn and then spend.I give enough money to the government in tax, nothing else shoukd really be necessary.
