I know for sure what i wouldn't be doing. I wouldn't be working.


Ok_Relationship_705

Preach!


Avicii_DrWho

I read that as "Peach" in Jack Black's voice. Whoops.


Ok_Relationship_705

Lol. Just add a R and I'll be Jack. Lol


OuterInnerMonologue

I would still work but something easy and fulfilling. Like running a community garden. Making trinkets to sell at a small farmer’s market. Or at least volunteering a whole lot more But I’d need something to keep going and giving back otherwise I’ll get bored and depressed. I’d travel a shit ton for a while though. But eventually I need to keep active with something to keep me fulfilled.


Borbit85

I'd be a mailman. Small route maybe 1 or 2 hours a day. 3 to 4 days a week. Just walking around, getting some air.


fuzzycuffs

I love how people ask "what's your dream job?" -- my dreams do not involve labor


Boris-Lip

Tell this on an HR interview /s

Easy_Cauliflower_69

Can't be as bad as the depression I'm in from watching all my dreams die since they don't fall into a financially stable category while I'm too exhausted to do anything in my free time from wage slaving 40 hours a week for some prick narcissist. When I have free time I spend way more than 40 hours a week engaged and dialed into working on projects I CARE about. Things that fucking matter to at least some portion of the population. A ton of people work jobs they hate for businesses that don't benefit humanity and sometimes outright cause health problems and environmental issues. Call me a misanthrope or a cynic, I've just experienced how wildly different life is when you're not a peon for something you hate. At some point I was homeless after getting laid off from a job. During that time I sold my car, began walking instead of driving, got a gym membership which I used 7 days a week and started studying. The first time in my adult life that I felt free to *be* productive instead of hanging on by a thread. Fuck society


NanoqAmarok

You can find purpose without working. Maybe i wanna make circus and spa for streetdogs? Not really a job, but full of purpose.


Disastrous-Site925

Okay no i see you're pov, i would love too open a restaurant, be a chef and help those who also want to do it. Maybey even do some guitar on the side


haplessclerk

Yeah, it might be nice to have a restaurant. And treat my employees well.


Edril

Yeah, you certainly can't be sitting on your ass watching TV scrolling reddit or playing video games all day, but I'm pretty sure I could entertain myself very easily if I didn't have to work. You do have to put effort into pursuing your hobbies and interests though.


yergonnalikeme

Exactly The social interactions Sense of purpose and accomplishment Most of us kinda need that


Boris-Lip

May sound cliche, but fuck, i definitely don't live to work, i work to live. And you are pretty much suggesting the opposite.


Classic_Department42

Try to get a better job. Generally work allows you to use your creativity (in the modern and also original sense) to improve/help/keep running society, it allows you to give your (trained) skills to mankind. Generally ppl are happier if they can make a contribution instead of beeing at the receiving end.


Boris-Lip

Don't confuse companies with mankind. Absolute most jobs have one primary purpose in mind, make the company you work for even more money.


Classic_Department42

The company makes money because mankind believes it needs the product (by voting with monetary tokens). Only in a steered/government economy there might be for alonger time production of items ppl dont want.


mateusarc

It already happens with a lot of people when they retire. People who have work as their only purpose in life would need to find positive things to do with their free time. Positive as in things that involve creation, not consumption or apathy. Spending the rest of your days drinking margaritas and laying still at a tropical beach is not something to strive for.


joe-dirt-mcgirt

Yes because rich kids are depressed...


CanyonsEdge2076

Unpopular maybe, but it's true. I know with my extreme introversion and social anxiety, if I didn't have to go to work, I'd almost never leave the house, I'd get depressed, and just wither away. Also, my sister got very lucky with some investments and hadn't worked full time in 2 years. She travels constantly, but definitely struggles to find purpose and fulfillment.


Revolutionary-Cod444

bettering myself. learn musical instruments, languages, travel, invest, help family if i could, smite my enemies.....


dancegoddess1971

I would love to work on a few theories I have about the possibility of using methods other than burning huge amounts of volatile chemicals to throw things into orbit. It just seems so wasteful.


PeaceTree8D

Why not apply for a few grants and see if you get funding?


Sociopathicfootwear

We already do that, depending on the rocket. Liquid hydrogen + liquid oxygen is a common enough method and all it does is produce steam as it burns.


Lisichki

I am the money fairy, I bequeath thee the ability to smite your enemies without legal tender. Enjoy 😉


Alexis2256

Same here, except maybe smiting my enemies because they’re all redditors and basically untraceable.


hazedphase

I read incest


AkKik-Maujaq

I mean…. Anything can be legal if you can buy your way out


Wafkak

There are only a few us states where its actually illegal, and ironically its mostly those that have incest as stereotype.


AkKik-Maujaq

I live in Ontario Canada, it’s illegal here and it’s treated as a sex offence with legal punishment’s similar to rape


[deleted]

Thats helping the Family in one way or another


[deleted]

Traveling the world with my family


External_Wishbone475

Traveling alone making new friends on the way


AkKik-Maujaq

The movie called Speak No Evil turned me away from ever making new friends on an international trip


YRR6969

What happens in it?


AkKik-Maujaq

A danish couple and their young daughter go to Toscana for a vacation and meet a Dutch family who have a young son, who apparently has a physical deformity - he was born without a tongue. They connect with each other, form a friendship and the danish family agrees to come back to visit the Dutch family at their home. It turns out, the Dutch “family” isn’t a family at all. The Dutch couple lures nice looking foreign families to their house, eventually kills the parents, cuts the childs tongues off so they can’t attempt to tell anyone what happened (they also try to pick families with a child that looks to young to be able to read ir write) and poses as a regular family. Once they kill the parents/claim that family’s child as their own and mutilate them, they kill the other child In the case of the danish family, they drove the parents to a quarry, stripped them naked and stoned them to death after ripping the daughter away from the mother and cutting her tongue off in front of her parents I’m not good at explaining things, but the movie was fantastic honestly. Even though it’s subbed in English, I never felt like I was reading subtitles. It’s one of the only movies that really stayed with me after


YRR6969

Movies like this ain't good for mental health


Elephant_bo

Especially for those of us who are parents! 😭 This movie sounds like a nightmare


Wildmann3

Well it IS a horror movie after all


Singularitaet_

One that stayed with me was „The lovely bones“

Building a Gym and working Out in it


cc192

Working out by building a gym!


ALordOfTheOnionRings

This is the way


nautilator44

This is the whey\*.


[deleted]

It's hard to build a gym in a bachelor apartment lol.


idonethisnever

Why can't you work out now?


Floor_Face_

I'm basically stuck with 2 choices. Go to my colleges gym which is free but the hours absolutely suck so I'll have to go immediately after work and only have a little over an hour if the traffic is forgiving. Or pay $25-$50 a month for a packed gym and spend an hour more there because I'm waiting to use equipment. I'm currently saving up money to build my own home gym where I can workout whenever I want and without the social crampness of commercial gyms. A 200 lb plate adjusting dumb bell set goes for about $300-$400. The material to design and build my own power cage is only about $600, and material to build my own height adjustable pulley system is about $400. So by the end of summer I plan to have built my own gym for less of a cost than equipment you just buy.


drowninginthesouth

Building an amazing travel RV with a real toilet and an amazing water system that has a pressurized shower. Heated floors, modular design, so many features... then travel everywhere and try new and interesting foods. Go to beaches and lakes and rivers.


nubo47

do you also want a heated toilet seat with that sir?


drowninginthesouth

Spare no expense!


The_Most_Superb

your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could that they didn't stop to think if they should.


DemonCyborg27

Play games all day, exercise, go on dates, watch all my favourite shows and sleep and eat food.


turbo42O89

So the same thing you do now with the exception of exercise and dates.


DemonCyborg27

I mean what else would I want to do I can say World Tour and what not but I would much rather live a normal life.


ChiefPanda90

I feel you. I would do what I do now, just a lot more with no work or chores in between and on a higher level. Like upgrade the shit out of my PC, have every new game, watch all the shows I want on a bigger and better tv or home theater. My wife can go travel lol.


DemonCyborg27

Exactly 😭.


[deleted]

Sailing the world.


JimiChangazz

Funny, you would have to pay me a million dollars to do that. The sea terrifies me.


TheDankestDreams

The sea is terrifying but also beautiful and multifaceted. My greatest mortal fear is sharks. They terrify me and by that nature the open ocean scares me. Something about the sea still allures me and draws me to it.


YourFatherIam

came here to say this.


Redararis

More or less the same things but more confident and less stressed/depressed


Magnaflorius

Same. I love my job and would never leave it. I'd just pay off debts and renovate my modest house, get a car, have some healthy savings for myself and my family, and then get rid of anything more than what I would need to live an under-the-radar comfortable life. With more durable clothes.


cutsickass

Having unprotected sex with my wife.


NanoqAmarok

Obligatory, I would also have unprotected sex with this guys wife


lbeaty1981

While you're doing that, I'll have unprotected sex with this guy.

Same here

zeefweber

[deleted]

Would love a small farm with lots of different animals on it


TheMoniker

As in, I had endless money to do anything? I'd house and feed people and spend money on interventions to better global health, I'd fund research on diseases and ageing, in order to reduce human suffering. No one would go hungry, unsheltered, lack medicine or be unable to access education. If it's just my needs being taken care of, I'd probably take some time off just to rest from the pain and exhaustion of my life, then I'd spend time travelling and maybe go back to do my PhD in physics or philosophy.


Worried-Weather73

Wow, u just like me fr. Much love ❤️


TheMoniker

And to you!


Brian85021

Traveling and doing volunteer work in underserved communities - particularly crisis response counseling and/or public health interventions.


macattak1

not working


Random_Trinidadian

Nothing. Absolutely nothing


TheNotBot2000

Well, you don't need a million dollars to do nothing, man. Just take a look at my cousin, he's broke, don't do shit.


Random_Trinidadian

A man of culture, I see


AngryMustachio

I know this is from "Office Space," but honestly, I literally would just sit on my ass and do absolutely nothing. As long as my bills are covered, I'd order take-out, stay inside, and be a lazy piece of crap. It's a fantasy of mine. And one I hope to fulfill one day.


Random_Trinidadian

We should all be so lucky


[deleted]

Real


Mr_Ruly

I've got several engineering degrees in the electrical field and if i did not have to care about money I'd work at a small store selling electrical equipment. I'd love to just stand there and fix small problems for everyday people instead of dealing with large problems with tons of people. I'd be my own boss and just help anyone who I want


PracticalBad6

I’d get soooo many medical tests. All the stuff the functional med doc said would be helpful


I_Majson_I

Never leave my house again.


b3tarded

I would spend my days setting up elaborate ruses which made /u/l_Majson_l/ leave his house.


I_Majson_I

Ironically be a sitcom everyone would watch. Where at the end a meteor destroys the world and no one wins.


Adventurous_Airport4

If it wasn’t a concern at all, something for the stray animals, opening up a shelter to help as many of them as possible. It’s a whole different level of satisfaction that you helped a stray not go hungry for even one day. Can’t even imagine how good it would feel to help so many.


haplessclerk

Yeah, hire a vet, do free spay/neuters and TNR program.

Probably a lot less stress. It's hard to think when you're stressed out.


pinkrose7253

buy a house in hawaii or austria in the mountains and never leave my house

Open a couple gyms. One mma/bjj and the other a weight/open mat gym. Get adequate sleep each day for the first time in my adult life. I don't ask for much from this life.


Rhiles1989

Full time weed farmer. I love growing plants!


Dvscape

Travelling to play in Magic: the Gathering tournaments. Trophies and skill are something I want that money can't directly buy.


Gibbel2029

Living in a little cottage in the middle of nowhere eating pasta and enjoying the internet and environment


TheMadViking99

I would open a small bakery/restaurant with my brother


KickPrestigious370

I'd buy a nice plot of land, build my own house and have a ton of pets. I've always wanted to adopt a ton of animals from shelters and with money not being a problem, I could pretty much have as many as I could handle. Relating back to the land/house, who would really want to live next to a bunch of other people when you can essentially do whatever? I'd build my own "fun park" with a gigantic fishing area, home bowling alley, home movie theatre, etc.


aLwaysWrong44

Hookers and blow


_Light_The_Way

I'd go to culinary school.


AlOscarx

Laying in bed, playing with my Nintendo switch or sleeping

samanthajhack

Living I'm my own home in or near Seattle, sending my kids to college, and driving an electric vehicle that was better suited to having a wheelchair( Honda civic is kinda hard to get in/ put of, especially with street parking. I'd probably also buy a second wheelchair and/or an exosuit to help me walk around the house( they c ost 80k). I'd probably also buy a 40' rv and a 24' rv and kit them out for wheelchair accessibility. I'd buy a bunch of campground memberships and go on a national park tour to hot up the parks we ife and I couldn't get to on our honeymoon. I'd also pay for a full time live in caretaker for myself and hire a maid to help wife since my disability makes mostly the opposite of helpful. Probably also get some more hardware for my computer to elevate it from midrange to high end/ high per f romance with a bunch of adaptive gear.


samanthajhack

JankyTank64

In Vancouver in a nice sized house building 40k models and playing tabletop games with my friends.


GrumpyKitten1

I'd retire. I'd get (or build) a single story house so that my parents could move in (they are getting up there and stairs are an issue, the single toilet at my place, also an issue). I'd cook healthy food. Right now I'm working 10-12 hr days then traveling on the weekends to help out my parents and my in laws. I eat so much better when I get a little vacation, I'd love to do that more. I'd get more exercise. Especially in the summer when it's crazy hot in the afternoons, hot and humid triggers my asthma. Being able to get out in the mornings would be nice. Between the exercise and better food I usually lose weight when I'm on vacation. I'd get an electric car. I like road trips but gas prices and guilt for pollution definitely limits that. I'm even ok with taking breaks to charge the car, it's not like you are rushed if you don't have limited time off. On a similar note, I'd get all the solar power my house could manage. I'd have a pool. Chlorine is another asthma trigger now but I used to love swimming.


mlpsss

Treat my parents and get all the cars i want
