How would you really enjoy spending your life... if money were no object?

I would swim every day.

I have low expectations.

The message is good, but how can you just say "forget the money" and do what you want.

I want to be a farmer, but i can't fucking afford a farm.

With someone you love

An American investment banker was taking a much-needed vacation in a small coastal Mexican village when a small boat with just one fisherman docked. The boat had several large, fresh fish in it.

The investment banker was impressed by the quality of the fish and asked the Mexican how long it took to catch them. The Mexican replied, “Only a little while.” The banker then asked why he didn’t stay out longer and catch more fish?

The Mexican fisherman replied he had enough to support his family’s immediate needs.

The American then asked “But what do you do with the rest of your time?”

The Mexican fisherman replied, “I sleep late, fish a little, play with my children, take siesta with my wife, stroll into the village each evening where I sip wine and play guitar with my amigos: I have a full and busy life, senor.”

The investment banker scoffed, “I am an Ivy League MBA, and I could help you. You could spend more time fishing and with the proceeds buy a bigger boat, and with the proceeds from the bigger boat you could buy several boats until eventually you would have a whole fleet of fishing boats. Instead of selling your catch to the middleman you could sell directly to the processor, eventually opening your own cannery. You could control the product, processing and distribution.”

Then he added, “Of course, you would need to leave this small coastal fishing village and move to Mexico City where you would run your growing enterprise.”

The Mexican fisherman asked, “But senor, how long will this all take?”

To which the American replied, “15-20 years.”

“But what then?” asked the Mexican.

The American laughed and said, “That’s the best part. When the time is right you would announce an IPO and sell your company stock to the public and become very rich. You could make millions.”

“Millions, senor? Then what?”

To which the investment banker replied, “Then you would retire. You could move to a small coastal fishing village where you would sleep late, fish a little, play with your kids, take siesta with your wife, stroll to the village in the evenings where you could sip wine and play your guitar with your amigos.”

I'd continue my research :). I'd keep working every day to find a cure for things I won't discuss here. Having money and being independently wealthy would never stop me from clocking in and out each day.

I'd quietly pay off all my family's debts and mortgages (not my own but parents and siblings). I'd set up a fund to ensure my siblings' kids could attend Harvard, too, although I'd ask them to apply for scholarships or fellowships since that is what funded me throughout. I'd buy my husband the home of his dreams wherever he wished, and buy him anything he wanted, really.

I'd get another dog, this time one that would love me the best, lol. I'd stop taking public transportation and buy a Vespa or a small fuel-efficient car.

Sorry I am so lame, but that is probably about it.

I would wage eternal war on the Jew.

if money were no object most men would be fishing pros and most women fashion designers.

I would live in Homer Alaska. One or two months a year I would travel and see the world.

Big boob strippers and alcohol

Spend it with my kids and grandkids!

this

what is it with homer?

i only hear good things about this place.

sail around the world

Money is no object.

You need only to SURVIVE, everything else is superfluous.

Start a community with a new type of home for all, that doesn't relay on the grid, have a water supply that could take care of the community. Have enough land for a farming area with field for growing crops that would be needed. Teach self reliance, how to sew, make cloth do all the time you need to do that doesn't need money. A lot more would have to be taught, but you get the idea. Independence is what I am talking about.

Play time is the best time, you don't have to be rich to enjoy you self, good people and community working and playing together is good. A must would be a swimming hole.

I would buy a farm in Ireland and live a simple life.

If I didn't have to worry about money I would want to be a wealthy philantrapest. I would help as many cheerful,thankful people meet their goals as possible. I would never run out of money / wealth and I would always look good because I could eat good food, workout and have a little nip and tuck from time to time. I am not perfect, I admit to vanity or the mere fact I don't want to scare anyone. I would continue to have a loving and supportive family and plenty of positive people in my life with the same goals and desires to help others in need. I wish I knew how to accomplish this goal. Sadly I only can barely take of my own family daily living expenses.

Exactly what I'm doing now. Only in Monaco.

" If " ?

Plastic surgery

It's an absolutely beautiful place. Ocean on one side high mountains and glaciers on the other. A little clannish. Weather not bad for Alaska. Doesn't get too far bellow freezing in winter or stay that way long. Lots of wind.

If money were no object, I would get an expensive car and house, eat good food and live a happy life, but I would probably get bored so I would get some brick and mortar businesses and then do volantary work. Yes, do work to help others and give secret money or gifts to unsuspecting people, like pay for their shopping, give food to beggars and invest in some poor kids to get them out of poverty so they can help themselves and others.

Pretty boring shit really!

What i wouldn't do is gove vaccines that are sterilising others and promote culling the world population. I would also probably get lots of degrees in law and human rights to defend people too.

music, music and more music

I would hang around beautiful beaches enjoying the warm weather and beautiful water and sand and sky and just kick back and chill with everyone else there doing the same, just enjoying the beauty of the earth.

First place I would visit would be Ireland.

Traveling in an RV. That's my goal anyways, son just graduated, now it's a reality that could come TRUE!

to live on a south pacific island

I want to go there too, my families from there! Bucket list for sure one day!
