I’d stop working day to day and live in a charming cabin or house in the woods, but in a safe area (I like the seclusion of the woods but not too secluded). I would do crafts. Maybe I’d volunteer on a local level, like for an archives or a museum or animal rescue agency. I’d have enough money to travel occasionally if I wanted (not excessively, just here and there). I’d not be looking for riches and luxury, I’d be satisfied with simple and sustainable.

@jca2 Safe but secluded not too far off from my thinking. I’d be loaded for bear though.XD

I’d run a wildlife rescue, and spend my days and nights caring for animals.

If I were brave and didn’t have to worry about money I would pursue a career in music.

I would be running a combination bicycle shop/ski shop in the mountains, and living in a nice cabin.

@zenvelo -Nice! Do you know a lot about bikes?

KNOWITALL's avatar

I’d be a beach bum in Mexico probably, or maybe a cabin in the deep woods a la Grizzly Adams. The freedom is what I crave.

@KNOWITALL -Not a bad way to be :)

Frolicking on some sun drenched, secluded nudist beach whirling my willy around like a helicopter.

@ucme -What if you take off in flight?

Inspired_2write's avatar

What I am doing now, photography and researching archival records, but in a grander scale.
I would be in heaven if I could go through ancient records.

@Inspired_2write – What if you read your story before you lived it?

lucillelucillelucille's avatar

@Inspired_2write -Just a thought I had. Lol!

@lucillelucillelucille
Well “if” that WAS possible I wouldn’t change a thing as I would not be the person that I am today then, right?

Inspired_2write's avatar

Remember the Butterfly effect..one change has a domino effect changing the outcome.

ucme's avatar

@lucillelucillelucille Gosh, now that would be a spectacle.

Inspired_2write's avatar

@ucme
More like unpredictable.

@Inspired_2write -I misread your original post but it did make me think of my q. :
and as for your comment above to ucme?
LMAO!

lucillelucillelucille's avatar

@ucme- You could get side jobs as a search & rescue unit!

@ucme -When you pick up dates, do you land on their rooftop?

ucme's avatar

@lucillelucillelucille This went places beyond comprehension lol
Think i’d stick to beach flights, until my licence comes through.

@ucme -Do you have your instrument rating??

ucme's avatar

Okay okay, I learned my lesson & i’ll try & be a good boy from now on :)

KNOWITALL's avatar

@ucme Ha, not likely you cheeky bugger. :)

ucme's avatar

@KNOWITALL You got me, i’m pretty much a lost cause :D

Hollywood, producing and making movies. :)

lucillelucillelucille's avatar

@mazingerz88 – Color or B&W?? Lol :)

mazingerz88's avatar

^^Half-screen in color and the other half in Black and White. Haven’t been done before I think. lol

lucillelucillelucille's avatar

@mazingerz88 – How about a very long epic where the color gradually fades, compelling the viewer to go to the optometrist?

mazingerz88's avatar

^^Sure but best if audiences are notified in advance that having health insurance is a prerequisite. :)

lucillelucillelucille's avatar

@mazingerz88 – if they can afford a movie there’s a good chance they can afford an appointment. XD

Mimishu1995's avatar

Same as @mazingerz88. Unfortunately I can’t so I’m striving hard to be a comic artist instead.

snowberry's avatar

I’m already living my dream. My life has turned out to be so interesting! I still have problems a plenty, but wow, I never could have imagined it! I wouldn’t change a thing.

I would be another typical food enthusiast.
I would shop all day and night online.
I would Fluther more
I would find a nice tall woman, and raise a family.
