Well, I don't work now. And I SHOULD be financially secure for the rest of my life, or the majority of it. So...What do I do now?

I would probably build the animal sanctuary I've been planning since I was twelve. After that, probably not a whole bunch. Budget permitting, I would pay off all my parents and brother's loans.

I'd do the same stuff I do now - all day, just like I do now. Collaborate with people, mess around with computers, come up with stuff to put on the Net, build things, home and land projects, ride horses, go to the beach, camp out, go on boat rides, make love, go fishin'...

I'd probably take a few years off and simply travel.
After that I'd need to get some kind of job, we as people need to socialize on a daily basis. So maybe some kind of bartending job.

Pay off my debts.
Take a year's leave to travel. Make love every day! (Oh, I do that now!) Catch up on my scrap books (that may take 5 years off!) Return to work and a "normal" life, maybe part-time, the following year because I LOVE my career. Donate, donate, donate.

I'd donate it all to TFP.
Or, just sit on my ass all day having my every whim fufilled by the legions of cabana boys (and cabana girls too, because, hey, I'm an equal opprutunity kind of employer!) I just hired.

1. Leave job (good friends, bad mgr and boring work).
2. Travel. 3. Pay off debt and debt of close friends. 4. Buy a home big enough to hold state of the art audio and theater gear. 5. Donate randomly to charitable causes at my own discrection. 6. Learn to _________ (which would change monthly) |

I'd probably keep on the plan that I've got set out for myself, I'd just have a hell of an easier time doing it.
I'd go to school full time and work part time, instead of the other way around. I'd travel the world, and try to work in as many kitchens as possible, which is easier if you tell them you'll work for free. Then I'd buy some vineyards out in BC and open a Bed and Breakfast. |

Am I the only person who had Office Space flashbacks?
I would do the following: 1. Buy a modest house surrounded by a forest 2. Get out of debt along with close family and friends (they'd get a lump sum to be fair) 3. Begin reading and learning everything I can 4. Learn how to be handy- woodworking and building electronic things would be fun 5. Have fun ( this should be priority anyway) |

While it's not true for everyone, for myself college has been anything but a waste of money. However, I do know of people who are quite the opposite. In order for me to do what I want to do, an extensive college education is required, and I've been nothing but stimulated by these years so far, but thats because I went out of the way to ensure I was taking challenging courses that actually required work. Oh, and if I was secure, I'd still finish my education (debt free....wow) and work off and on, but never more than a day or two a week. The rest of the time, build a house on a lake somewhere and fish, hike, and all that good outdoorsy stuff...as well as two chicks at the same time man...

omega2k4: while I respect your achievement (and am rather curious to hear the details if you would share), it's a good idea to invest in yourself now and go to college. Seems like you've found something you're pretty good at, so go and get a business degree and you'll be a pro.

If I had no budget and nothing but free time, I would travel like crazy. That would be first priority. Then I'd buy every single DVD I ever wanted, and watch them all. I also love to read, so I'd collect a massive library, and spend hours with a good book. Then I'd invest the rest, settle down, and raise a family.
