What would you do with your time if you didn't have to work to meet your food, housing, and healthcare needs?

Re-creating this thread a different server.

edit: "not work" as in "food, housing, and healthcare needs are met," not as in "billionaire super-villain money"

I would sail sail the great lakes for weeks at a time.

I would write more music, and hire musicians to play it with me.

I would spend half the summer growing food (which I already do!)

I would continue to invest in my own mental health, but spend more time meditating.

I have chronic fatigue (to simplify a longer story), and spending that precious energy solving logic puzzles for a paycheck is sometimes pretty demoralizing.

Begin to develop and publish cost efficient free open source designs for scientific laboratory equipment that can be made by anybody, so that scientific laboratories are able to do science without spending hundreds to thousands of dollars on a machine that rocks left and right or shakes in a circle.

I am in this situation and it perfectly equalizes with transness/nonbinariness to neutral privilege

At one of my lowest points I wasn’t going out of the house for months except just to throw the trash out because of severe social anxiety.

If I had to work on top of that stuff I think id be gone really fast. I just treat it all like the social welfare I need and try to improve the whole situation with tiny steps. Lucky in unlucky situation is like my life motto

Probably focus "full time" on indie gamedev.

What I do now, except I'd have more than tiny slices of time and energy to do it

Bye ,

When I retire I want to hike and camp, cook really nice meals, grow a garden, and make hot rods.

I'd want to learn a language or two. Specifically Irish/Gaeilge (my heritage) and French.
I'd also work on getting healthier and being a better friend and neighbor.

MigratingtoLemmy , (edited )

Being able to speak Gaeilge and French would be very cool.

I'd learn Mandarin if I had the time

Tarogar ,

Well... Great that I don't need to worry about it but I still need to worry about it for my horses. So believe it or not. I would still work to afford that.

PhlubbaDubba ,

There are two kinds of people who own horses

The ones who are rich as sin, and the ones with cobwebs in their wallets.

Tarogar ,

It is called a stable bank balance for a reason... Cause the money will eventually end up in the stable with the horses.

Still wouldn't trade it for something else.

scytale ,

Make music. Travel, if money isn't an issue.

Not have to work for money as in infinite money?

Probably accidentally kill myself within a year from stupidity by having access to effectively anything I want

tobogganablaze ,

In the original thread you didn't have infinite money, just the basics (food, housing, healthcare).

jvw OP ,

sorry, I mean, if you didn't have to worry about food, housing, healthcare. I just edited the title to reflect that.
