> nobody has to work

That's generally not the expectation. The expectation is that there's more than enough wealth to allow for everyone to have a baseline of income to meet their most basic needs. You want to buy a house, buy a car, travel, eat at fancy restaurants, buy expensive things, you still have to work. But if you want to quit your job and find another one you don't need to fear starvation or eviction because you are without income for a few months.

It's the same logic as preventative medicine. Instead of dishing out money for surgery you can catch problems earlier when they are cheaper to fix.

Yes, that's what they said: nobody has to work. They can if they want the additional perks you've described, but they don't have to.

I guess you're right. I interpreted that as "no body works" which...is not what they said.
