The Perfect Life

[BewaretheIckabog]

Would your life be better if you had:

A personal assistant who did all your shopping and arranged all your appointments

A personal trainer who took you out 3 times a day

Regular salon appointments for hair and nails

A personal chef who provided all meals, snacks and cooked for you

Never having to work a day in your life and just expecting all the above

No. I love work and wouldn't want to exercise 3 times a day- how dull. The rest I could have though

1. A personal assistant who did all your shopping and arranged all your appointments - No, I can do all this myself.

1. A personal trainer who took you out 3 times a day - No, I would like a swimming pool, sauna and some gym stuff. I can motivate myself.

1. Regular salon appointments for hair and nails - I already have regular hair appointments. Nails, not interested, very vulgar.

1. A personal chef who provided all meals, snacks and cooked for you - No. I only eat lunch and am a very good cook. No idea what snacks are. The modern western European human does not need 5 meals a day.

1. Never having to work a day in your life and just expecting all the above. I am not working at the moment, life is dull. I would love staff to clean for me, but that is about it.

Definitely the personal chef. Would love the last option, not necessarily to give up working altogether but because then I would have complete freedom of choice as to what I would do.

So what would I do? I am very good at filling my time when not working. I have lots of interests but I enjoy every day stuff. Nid like to be rich enough to afford this though!

Yes to some of the points.
I would love a personal assistant, regular salon appts and a chef. Throw in a housekeeper too!
But I can't give up work. What would I do with my time then?

Doesn't sound like a perfect life to me at all- sorry OP.

@FraughtwithGin are you saying getting yiur nails done is vulgar? 😂

@fraughtwithgin you only eat lunch? How are you eating enough calories in one meal a day?

I’d just take a house keeper so I never have to clean, tidy or do the washing EVER

That would do

To answer the actual op. I'd like a cleaner, that's about all.

I’ve got a housekeeper that does shopping, laundry, appointments for maintenance staff like boiler checks and electricians etc. She doesn’t cook only because DH loves to so I wouldn’t need a personal chef.

I get my hair blow dried weekly (pre COVID obviously) but I do my nails myself because it’s part of my self care routine and I love giving myself a manicure.

I’ve been considering a personal trainer but 3 times a week not a day!!!

My business pays for all of this and I could stop work tomorrow if I wanted but I love what I do so I won’t stop

I have none of the above.

I am all of the above.

I am currently envying my dog. She has the lifestyle I dream of.

Not for me. PT three times a day is a lot btw a bit like a puppy (took you out)

Perfect life is doing imo something you love

I’m fine with a cleaner out of in house people

The rest sounds a bit bleh

It all sounds awful. Not my idea of a perfect life at all.

I'll have all of those please

That sounds exhausting having all those people around bothering you all day. I am an extrovert but like my alone time too!!

I don't really want any of those things.

I'd have a full time house keeper to do cleaning and washing.

A full time nanny to help with the kids

A home gym and indoor pool

Enough money that I could replace and mend stuff in my house when I want.

The option to work or not work.

If I had all of those, I'd be happier if they'd all bugger off and let me look after my own life! Achieving happiness independently is far superior (for me) to needing other people to help me do my life.

I'll take the chef.

I'd love for someone to cook meals for me, forcing me to have a really healthy, balanced diet.

I would also love a personal trainer, but I think I'd be too self conscious, so maybe a home gym and a pool would be better (I can motivate myself perfectly fine).

Regular hair appointments would be great as I'm fed up of greys. Not that bothered about nails.

I would love all of the above!
I Therefore thought I would love to be a dog!

Then I thought I also need to add in my own personal tailor and cobbler as well!

And dogs look silly in clothes and shoes so I will be me with all of those things, but I will work in my dream job which would be having my own charity fostering dogs!

What a lovely daydream that was!

Yeah I’d love that, aside from the salon appointments. Never been fussed about all that stuff. Would probably spend that time doing sweet fuck all instead.

I already have regular hair and nail appointments - there’s nothing vulgar about my nails. My life’s fine without the rest.

It's possibly a bit like the way the royal family live and I think you're instantly struck by the lack of control. Perhaps you'd become like Prince Charles who's supposed to have huge strops about his poached eggs.
