What would you do every day if money was no object?

What would you do every day if money was no object?

just this really

I would have a big orange juicer and have freshly squeeze orange juice every day, I would become a writer, I would live in the sun and windsurf all afternoon

I’d rescue animals. I’d have a house with land in the country. I’d let community groups come to volunteer with the animals.

Wake up each morning on a beach front in somewhere like Greece. Probably live in a hotel actually where I could wander down for breakfast.

Have a swim in the clear ocean and then relax reading a book.

Wander about the local markets and then cook my daily finds while drinking wine and chatting to friends

Go to bed in clean expensive bedding

How rich are we talking? Is a private train an option? Like the royal train, with sitting rooms and bedrooms, but just for me.

Swim in the warm ocean, have a massage, breakfast on tropical fruit

Event (horses).

I’d have my own yard and a string of horses and just ride all the time.

Buy some property to do up, hire a chef, a chauffeur and, not sure how practically this would work but, I would pay for someone to play with my hair 24/7 🥰

Buy a property without neighbours being all around me. Have as many animals as I want. Hand in my notice. Help family and friends.

I would never wash my own hair again. I'd get a professional wash, blow dry and style every day

Have a massage and do yoga. I would love to feel flexible and relaxed instead of 100 years old and lugging round a baby all day.

This sounds bliss to me! 👌😆

Buy more sheep. Build better sheds. Ensure that DH could retire

I used to work with a woman who had worked tirelessly in some social work type role for her whole life, she had retired and had a lovely life.
Woke up in nice apartment in Bath, cycled to yoga, meet friends for lunch, show foreign students around the town, volunteered at bookshop, go for dinner, home. She had genuinely earned such a lovely life by doing something worthwhile all her life.
At my age now, I don't feel like I 'deserve' that life yet.

I don't want a massive house. I like tiny houses, so I'd have one of those with a swimming pond next to it on my own bit of land, which I'd go in every chance I could. I'd go and get myself a full English every day, and in the winter I'd have my own little fire going in a little stove, and toast marshmallows.

Travel the world

this.
see also, lovely woodland. I don't see how you can 'buy' something that should be everyone's.

I always think about this, and I’ve broken it down into a few categories:

1. things for my little family - nice house (not huge), reliable cars, decent sized garden for the kids to play in with whatever toys they want, supermarket shops without worrying about the cost, good quality clothes, extra curriculars
2. things for family/friends - pay my mums mortgage/give the option to move, buy a house for my sister and nephew, house for my best friend and her kids. Pay off my in-laws mortgage, cover the costs of disability adaptations and carers/treatments.
3. things for the community - create a food bank that donates meal kits for nutritious meals, I’d cater for fussy kids, make sure that the families knew how to cook. I’d buy lots of school uniform and run a “pay what you can afford” type shop with any takings going to a fund that people can ask to use for whatever they need. Not even what they NEED, but to go on a family day out or have a meal at a restaurant for a change. I’d put solar panels on peoples houses, and run a group for families to meet and support each other in a skill share kind of way.
4. frivolous things that we definitely don’t need but would greatly enjoy - personal chef who would cook too much and so the neighbours could enjoy it too. Daily cleaner/housekeeper. Someone who can literally shower me (I have terrible mental health and showering often uses more spoons than I have available sadly) but they wouldn’t make me feel shit about it. Super car to zoom around in on weekends. Audi SUV for weekdays. Holidays for EVERYONE! Me and Mr, us and the kids, parents, the whole family, my best friend and her kids, all of us together etc etc. Basically I’d get a plane, and pick a few hotels around the world that we’d have a room constantly booked, so anyone can go anytime. Permanent reservations at my favourite hotels in London and other cities. The best education I could buy for my kids.

and that, is the end of my dream!
oh, a cat palace for my cat. She hates people but I love her so she’s staying.

Get a nanny to look after the kids for a couple of hours each day. I'd swim in the sea, ride my bike, maybe just read a book with a coffee.

Housekeeper, heating the house until it’s toasty.
would love to run a home for kids stuck in long term foster care- to give them a true home filled with security and love.
spend a lot of time and money educating myself so I can get into politics and use some common sense re education, wages, NHS, climate change, etc
Would love to buy properties to specifically sell on to single parents or house families that have a parent/s studying and trying to better themselves
I struggled to pay rent and study as a single parent, student loan was considered a wage and meant I was only entitled to £120 housing benefit a month (£900 rent) but if I’d stayed home ie unemployed/min wage job and not studying they would have paid full housing benefits- was a few years ago and it blew my mind and hope it’s changed now!
My degree was full on (law, medicine type degree) and with kids under 5 I couldn’t work - got into masses of credit card debt just to make it through and it should never have been that hard!
