What’s your reason for not working?

Genuine and judgement free question here. My mum hasn’t worked for 25+ years and relies on government benefits to get by. She is intelligent, fit and healthy and very capable, but has chosen not to work during this time. When I’ve asked her why she doesn’t/hasn’t worked she gives a different answer, and I’ve always felt she isn’t being honest with me. So I’m curious to hear from others who might be in a similar position. I’d just like to know why work isn’t for you.
