If you received enough money to never need to work again, what would you spend your time doing?

Crazy Hitch · Jun 18, 2015, 01:42 AM

I'd like to set up a not for profit organisation helping socio-economically disadvantaged students gain skills that they need to thrive in a 1st World Country.

Writing. I would start by developing a portfolio of novellas and then start pimping myself out for freelance writing jobs and trying to get a full novel published.

I'd get more serious about my harp playing and spend a lot of time practicing, I'd knit and try and turn that into a high end custom business, and I'd volunteer.

Pretty much what I do now, volunteering.

marmaduke · Jun 18, 2015, 11:35 AM

I'd devote my time to campaigns for animal rights and support Sea Shepherd.

gayleggg · Jun 18, 2015, 11:49 AM

i would travel and see how many waterfalls that I could see.

aaaaahhhhhhh self publish a book on how to be mad and convince people so.

It would be titled 'You don't have to be mad to read this... but it helps'

Symbolic · Jun 18, 2015, 01:59 PM

I'd do some travelling, but also find something to keep me active. Nothing drives you more insane than having nothing to do for years on end.

Katana · Jun 18, 2015, 02:26 PM

I would donate to no kill animal shelters and places that rescue animals from factory farms.

Crazy Hitch · Jun 18, 2015, 04:43 PM

Yeah, pretty much what some have said above I'd be in the voluntary sector.

Nicky123 · Jun 18, 2015, 09:01 PM

I would be moving to somewhere near the sea.

Nammu · Jun 18, 2015, 10:47 PM

I'd be living in a house, fostering animals, taking university classes, surfing on a better more powerful computer and protesting the political process.

Crazy Hitch · Jun 19, 2015, 12:17 AM

Ahhh I think endless travelling would be awesome too

kindachaotic · Jun 19, 2015, 06:59 AM

Pay off my house. Then travel, travel, travel.!!!

breakmystride · Jun 19, 2015, 07:40 AM

I'd love to say that I'd volunteer, write a book, and travel, but in reality, I'd probably just watch TV all the time because sometimes my depression makes it hard for me to get out of the house or get anything done.

I guess it would depend how much money I would have. If it was just enough to cover every day expenses I'd offer counseling to low income folks for free. Would volunteer with some local groups. I already plan to do this when I retire. I'd get myself a broke to death (that's a horsey term for a very quiet horse) so I could ride every day. I'll admit that for the first month or so I'd probably lay around the house like a slug. I'm exhausted from working.

If I had enough money I'd travel. I want to go back to Ireland. Would also want to travel the US.

Dan208 · Jun 19, 2015, 08:48 AM

Pay everything off and travel. I'd probably have two houses. One in the mountains and another at the beach.

Jun 19, 2015, 03:05 PM

I'm basically in this situation already. I'm only on the pension but I have more money than I need, and I'm evaluating what to do next, whether it should be work, volunteering or study or a combination of all of these.

TheWell · Jun 19, 2015, 04:08 PM

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.

sadlonelygirl · Jun 19, 2015, 06:25 PM

first I would buy my parents a house here in Texas and also in el Salvador
(that's where their from ) and then I would travel the world visit every state continent city or town their is

LiteraryLark · Jun 20, 2015, 05:24 AM

I'd travel the world

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.

Hatter08 · Jun 20, 2015, 08:55 AM

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.
