What would you do if you were financially set? Meaning you didnt have to work anymore yet live in reasonable means?
There have been a few posts on debt and how much money it takes to get by and while standing at my machine for 12 hours at work last night my mind started to wonder and I thought about what I would do if I could stop working.
First I would get in the best shape my genetics would let me. I would sleep as much as possible and lift reliogusly, maybe train in MMA to build some strength also.
Than I would take a few years and travel as cheaply as I can, backpacking and what not. Just seeing the world.
I enjoy wasting my time daydreaming about things like this.
Ok, I’ll drift into fantasy mode for a minute. I would have my own spread in some pristine Colorado wilderness area. My ranch would have a good sized personal gym and I would have a few horses, a shooting range, and guest facilities for friends. This would be my world other then occasional forays back to society for whatever reason.

I’d have a nice cabin somewhere in the forested mountains in the west. Hiking, fishing, and 4-wheeling would be primary hobbies. I’d have my own gym set up and curl in my squat rack to my heart’s content
I was looking through old log home magazines from when we built ours, I have a scrap-book or sorts in my tool box at work of exactly what I want. If all goes well I coule have it by the time I am in my mid 30’s.
it has to be very secluded and on a river so I could fish from my pourch and not have to deal with Any idiots.
Try an ever-rotating harem of hundreds, constantly being refreshed via a first-in, first-out methodology, with extraordinary hotties of every ethnicity, color and creed, personally screened by me for beauty, proper physical proportions, skill set and bodyfat percentage, all living for nothing more than to be – and stay – a respected member of my own personal harem.
Is that to much to ask . . . ?

Go here and then read the book:

This book was written for me. I must obtain a copy and read it right away.
I’d go back and finish (or restart) my PhD. Only thing I really regret not finishing (so far).
Study, brush up on my languages, travel some - and actually … work a bit. Not for the money, but for the satisfaction and the positive influence on my students - give something back.
Me not working is not a good thing. I’d travel, buy a nice house, give more of my time to charity. But I’d keep a real job, try to improve my woodworking skills to the point where I could sell my work, maybe take up blacksmithing as a hobby.
This is pretty much my plan anyway, as soon as I get the job I want.
There’s a difference between financially set and financially loaded. I’m not sure what the costs would be, but some of these ideas seem to be in the latter category.
