Can a Utopia exist?
Is a Utopia possible? Defined as where we can all live with no work. No money, everything is produced in surplus and sustainable. All actions are voluntary and most things have almost no cost. I figure this would be very far in the future with centuries of new technology. Or will people never be satisfied and still not consider that perfect?

"Can a Utopia exist?" In your desc
ription of Utopia the answer is Yes. A fr amework of time was left out of the desc ription. If a nanosecond of time passed in which the described qualifications existed then Utopia existed. But the nanosecond that want exceeds supply Utopia disappears.

Know, unfortunately, it is just a dream. Hey you look like you could be the woman of my dreams(come true), Lets run away together and build a Utopia ( just the two of us) ; -) !!
No, aside from the fact that it is quite impossible, people are never satisfied!
They paved paradise and put up a parking lot
With a pink hotel, a boutique and a swinging hot spot
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got til it's gone
They paved paradise and put up a parking lot
They took all the trees and put 'em in a tree museum
And they charged all the people a dollar and a half just to see 'em

Hey farmer, farmer, put away that DDT now
Give me spots on my apples but leave me the birds and the bees
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got til it's gone
They paved paradise and put up a parking lot
Late last night I heard that screen door slam
And a big yellow taxi took away my old man
Don't it always seem to go

Watch Joni Mitchell perform "Big Yellow Taxi" back in 1970

Not the Utopia you describe. The reason for that is twofold....laziness and greed.
When the human race can breed those qualities out of themselves...then perhaps your Utopia will be possible.Like (1)

I honestly can't imagine that particular UTOPIA existing at all. The Universe works on give and take. Karma, and bartering. I would like a more fair existance for all of us, no one "better than the other" so to say. Poor, and the bloody rich. I think we should all take care of each other, barter for each other, weather it be money, things or actions. Not to get all spiritual about it, but Utopia I feel would only exist for a single person when they become enlightened in whichever faith they have. :/ Sry for the rant.

What you describe is not Utopia. I suggest you read Plato on it.

No. It will eventually become a dystopia.
