If you had a lot of money, and no mental health issues, what would you accomplish?

I'd go back to work as a makeup artist, go get my master's degree, open an upscale restaurant, and buy my own home.

At this point in life no more career.....but I would build a nice little barn & an indoor dressage arena & work with my horse Izzy & practice & show in dressage shows to see just how far we could progress together.
Also get my masters degree in Theology

I would buy a modest house on an acreage in the far north of my province, and then spend my summers traveling and my winters working on my latest novel.

OR

I would go back to school, get my graduate degree, and then move on to get a PhD and work in research at a university.

Not sure which.

Be able to take care of all my dependents without so much stress of on me.

I don't think it needs a lot of money to pursue the dream of finding life happiness. If we gather trusted friends and make them part of our family, then we have a happiness and trust that can be built over time. Having money to buy material things never brings true contentment.

Buy a small farm and transform it into a wildlife reserve. Set up an art studio next to the house to spend my day's painting and listening to music.

I don't necessarily disagree with that, but as you can see from the responses a lot of people talk about buying a house, and that would cost money.

Personally, if I had a decent sum, my life would have gone differently. I would have been able to move away from my abusive father and family. I would have been able to get away from my abusive ex. I wouldn't have had to come back to my abusive family to finally get away from my ex. In this way, money would have helped me. I hope you understand my point of view.

Travel the world and visit many places great interest and also have a house by the beach in a rural location. Also I'd be a professional musician.

Now that, I do understand. To move away from an abusive relative makes for good sense and if there was enough money available, then paying a lawyer to apply for a court injunction to keep that abusive father permanently away from you would be money very well spent.

I'd probably give most of it away and take the rest and retire to the mountains of Arizona. I can hike, run the hills, listen to the birds, talk to the critters in my yard, and grill my steaks. I don't want anything more than freedom from the rat race.
