If you were wealthy / financially independant
and didn't need to work, what would you do with your time?
you know where I'm going with this... they say that whatever your answer is should be your chosen career path.
So if you said restore old cars, you should go into auto body repair or be a mechanic.
you know what I'd do? Absolutely nothing. I'd sleep in every day, then go sit by the pool. Then I'd take my Ferrari for a spin, get some drive thru..., go to borders or chapters and waste time, go to home depot and waste time, etc. It would all be about wasting time looking at stuff I can afford but don't really need.
oh, but I would absolutely open a White Castle if there wasn't one in the area I was living in.
So what's my career path? Drug dealer I guess....

Re: If you were wealthy / financially independant
If I was financially independent I would get my windows tinted in my car, pay off my house, then travel the world. Probably hire someone to make a self operating website for my sportsbook, then travel the world some more.

Re: If you were wealthy / financially independant
There's a few places I'd travel to internationally, but there's lots in Canada I'd like to see more of.
Mostly I'd give myself living options. A place in the city, and also a place out in the sticks where I could really hide out and get away from it all. Nothing too obvious, I don't need a mansion.

Re: If you were wealthy / financially independant
Well I love Fishing/Hunting and I'm a big sports fan. So its a toss up. Get my own Hunting/Fishing show or buy my own sports franchise...I don't think I'd be very good at that though. I'd be a cross between Al Davis and Jerry Jones, always meddling and not staying in my lane. So I think Fishing/Hunting show is the way I'd go.

Re: If you were wealthy / financially independant
Dont change anything, I miss the Hungry years, the once upon a times, the lonely long a goes we never had a Dime, The days of me and you we missed along the way. How could we be so blind not to see the door, closing on the world we now hunger for, the days of me and you, I miss the Hungry years. :eek:

Re: If you were wealthy / financially independant
I'd probably spent half my time doing sweet fuck all and other hedonistic shit and the rest of my time in philanthropal activities trying to help people out. I might try to get into politics as well to spread my bizarre leftist views.

Re: If you were wealthy / financially independant
I would do about what I am doing now, but I would use my power and influence to make sure all of my friends had good employment.
I would hold big BBQs with kegs, and own a bar..........not to make money but to just hold steady or keep it at an acceptable loss. The bar would serve all my favorites: Stella, Schlitz, Hamms, Old MIlwaukee, Budwieser, Moosehead and have hot girls waitressing and BBQ wings.

Re: If you were wealthy / financially independant
Spend lots of time sitting on a beach supping cuba libres.
Buy a snooker club. Burn it down.
Sponsor a darts player. And a boxer.
Gamble.
Drink lots.

Re: If you were wealthy / financially independant
Buy an island, set up a monarchy. Maybe employ an army. Outlaw things I don't like such as those stupid blue tooth things.

And that's why you'll never get wealthy.

Re: If you were wealthy / financially independant
I would spend more time bringing up my children and give them all the love and attention they need.

Re: If you were wealthy / financially independant
Honestly not that much would change in my lifestyle except the scale of investments. My investment strategy percentages would stay the same.
I don't want or need a fancy car or a fancy house, I love my wife, I love the food I make. Life is good. I may dabble in venture capitalism a bit,
plenty of good ideas out there that just need funding.
-
Re: If you were wealthy / financially independant
I would open a White Castle in Flint, MI. When my wife and I lived there several years ago we were surprised to find out there wasn't one. At all.
Apart from travel, I'd go back to school to get a Master's, possibly a Ph.D in English. I would write FULL TIME and publish my own stuff.

Re: If you were wealthy / financially independant
I'd go around and buy poor peoples' most prized possession.
Then I'd burn it or smash it up in front of them, laugh and drive off in my gold plated Hummer.

Re: If you were wealthy / financially independant
X would do that, he is not a nice bloke.

Re: If you were wealthy / financially independant
X wouldnt Hes talking Bollocks ;D

Re: If you were wealthy / financially independant
I'd probably totally fook up. Most money I ever had wasn't more then a few hundred dollars, so am fairly sure it would change me, and prob not in a great way. Given that...I'd take me chances. 8)

Re: If you were wealthy / financially independant
I'd have to invest in something that required me to get up on a weekday and do something with it. You need some kind of job to keep you motivated or you will just get lazy, fat and die.
With that being said, I'd get a house built exactly how I wanted here in England, stick an Aston Martin DB9, a Ferrari 360 Spider and a Pagani Zonda in front of it and fuck off to Las Vegas and buy an apartment to stay in for every major fight, one with a nice view of the strip like this would do.

Re: If you were wealthy / financially independant
I would be in the fucking clouds, literally. 28 pounds of marijuana would probably suffice. I calculated a while back that I smoke about a pound of marijuana a year give or take an ounce or two. I think 28x my intake now would suffice and I would live a happy life, host world title fights in my private amphitheatre and only peddle the video to those who give me positive reps on here.
But really I would probably still chase my career, having a ton of money would help.

The thread is about what you would do if you was wealthy and then some numpty says "And thats why you'll never be wealthy"

Re: If you were wealthy / financially independant
I suppose I would do a lot of travelling and exploring around.

That was a cock thing to say Kirkland.
Man I think Amat has a great idea with the 'hosting private title fights.' Also Killersheep wanted a personal bookkeeper on here, that is nice.
I would also like to hire someone to be a professional alt. to keep you guys guessing.

Re: If you were wealthy / financially independant
Full on Squillionaire would be the real stuff ;),
I'd have a 70 foot steel yatch and I would live on it permamently. My misses would still live here on dry land reading boreing books. Helicopter deck on the back. 12 seater zodiac for tow in surfing under the rear deck. The boat would be named 'Squid lips' and the zodiac 'Ass clown'.The chopper would be black and its name would be Chopper.;D
Buy 2 nasty fighter jets with an nasty but smart ex crew all on a yearly wages of 200 grand a head, Tons of Food that doesnt spoil like rice and grains all packed ready to drop.
Hire these mercinaries to feed some regions people by just dropping the food directly on them.
The nasty jets would be named farQ1 and Fuku2 both with single fingered birds as emblems for my message to the Goverements of the world who pretend.
They would run out of an African state that can be bought; anyone tries to stop them gets shot out of the sky or mulched into the ground, They will have the orders to go hunt down pirates and sink them off the coast when they arent doing other good works feeding people. MAtter of fact after surfing Mauritus we woud go and act as the dummy for them up off the coast off Somali etc.
In winter we would be doing the same off some secret Asian regions.
If I could, I would sink a few Jap Whaleing boats as well, secretly down in the Antartic just for kicks, real fast strike no time for maydays in and out have a boat that just blows them out of the water.
Id have a 2 seater custom Glider made extra flexable and extra strong; maybe cast teflon , would be called "Beefheart";after his song "Glider"
He would be on my East coast Tasmanian property on King Island and would be launched by a 454 V8 concreted into the end of my run way just over the top of a lip of a 1000 ft grass hill that faces out to the ocean on the top of a town called 'Grassy' funny enough; to catch the sea breeze in the afternoons. Make your lips peel backwards on take off. :D
Ok back the real world :mad:
