If you received enough money to never need to work again, what would you be doing?

Travel then after I've traveled everywhere I want to visit I would start taking classes. I love learning.
There are many places I've been but also many places I want to go.

TheWell, have you ever heard of Road Scholar (used to be ElderHostel)? It combines travel with learning. I've only been on one, but loved it. My Mom did a ton of their trips and enjoyed every one of them.

I'd be doing the same exact thing I'm doing now, probably. I'd just be in a small apartment somewhere, playing video games, listening to music, and writing all day. I just wouldn't have to be worried about money all the time.

I would have completely sound proof house built with a large basement for myself and when my wife's family visits they could stay upstairs and I would not hear a sound. Also 2 new computers. Other than that things would remain largely the same for me - spending all day on the computer. I have no idea what my wife would do with all of her time.

I would spend time working on my dressage riding & get a horse that is grand prix level to work on (along with bring my mare to my farm also because she's so special)....I would also put her in dressage training so we could progress together on top of having the higher level horse to be able to show on in the mean time.

I would also go back to a seminary university where I would get my masters & maybe PhD in Apologetics......even at the age of 62.

I would probably sell the farm I have & buy one that is more suited for horses & maybe one that is historical in this area & hire people to help me rather than having to do everything myself.

I've traveled & seem much of the US....have always desired to take a trip to Israel but mostly at this point in my life....I just want to enjoy my life at home & with all my critters surrounding me.

I would also continue doing all the volunteer work that I enjoy doing now.

Actually, I do... for 29 years I haven't worked. however...we all know that it's because I was disabled at work... and I spend all my time so-to-speak taking care of myself and daily living affairs.

BUT ... ah yes, what I was trying to do altruistically before I was injured...

I would move to a small, isolated island somewhere with a nice house on it. (Okay, so my own large private island with all the nice features). I would spend my time taking care of 2 dogs (don't actually have them yet), writing music, and strolling the beach or going on my yacht.

Crazy Hitch · Jun 27, 2015 at 02:24 PM

I like the idea of an isolated island ShinyKrystal

littletinyrock · Jun 27, 2015 at 02:34 PM

I've got a bunch of different charity projects I'd love to be able to support. Those would be the first order of business.

Then I'd write more and travel and garden.

Eeno · Jun 27, 2015 at 04:20 PM

I would move to another state and try to rebuild my life from a new scene and new support. I planned to do this anyway, but if I had the money it would be sooner and I would have a lot less to worry about.

Crazy Hitch · Jun 27, 2015 at 05:21 PM

I'd totally help with your charities littletinyrock

tangledupinblue · Jun 27, 2015 at 06:07 PM

I'd see all the movies i ever wanted to see, read all the books i never got around to, hear all the great music from the past. Soak up as much knowledge as possible.

SeekerOfLife · Jun 29, 2015 at 05:18 PM

I would volunteer at my riding stable under the condition that in addition to me working, they would give me hands on education about horses
I would take a computer course at the college like I have wanted to do for years.
I would buy a small house on a poison ivy-free acreage.
I would join the gym of my choice and go every other day.

CapedCrusader · Jun 30, 2015 at 10:53 PM

Maybe Traveling maybe and enjoying life. The best thing about traveling and enjoying life is that you get to meet a lot of people and you get to learn different culture which is awesome. Learning those things makes you create a book of your travel.

Pay everything off, give a chunk to my daughter so she can buy a house and then I would travel!!!!

I would take up traveling and put more time towards artwork. And I would spend more time with the people I love.
My husband and I have periodically fantasized about having enough money to take all of our friends and family on a trip around the world. It's a nice dream.

GypsyButterfly · Jul 09, 2015 at 11:01 PM

After paying off debts, making sure the monthly expenses are covered, buying a car & a home, I'd do volunteering. I plan to do that anyway. Especially at the animal shelter.
