    Default 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....

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

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

    I would spend more time bringing up my children and give them all the love and attention they need.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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"
