I’m sorry if this is in the wrong place but I didn’t know where else it would fit in. I was reading a book a while ago and it asked this question:
’if you had unlimited means - what is the one thing that you would like to do with your time that you are not doing today?’

I’m not looking for any personal answers, I’m just wondering, do you have an answer?

I still don’t have an answer but I’m going to think about it a bit more today.

Teeth implants and then I'd be off to Canada. I'd say that the more important question is "how do you really want to be spending your time?", rather than being about money.

Im pretty happy with what im doing today. I dont think I'd be doing anything different if i were loaded. Cleaning, netflix, put the tree up.

Overall im sure my life would look very different long term though

I have a couple of answers that are realistic given varying amounts of money.

From a sewing studio to permanent university module sampling.

“’if you had unlimited means - what is the one thing that you would like to do with your time that you are not doing today?’”

That all sounds a bit wank to me! An up its own arse sort of question. You don’t have unlimited means, and why would there be “one thing”.

I think it’s more helpful to think, today - and this coming week - what am I not doing that and like to, and what is stopping me?

What’s the point in musing about having the money to go on a luxury cruise, when you could be musing on the fact that you like seeing new places but never plan it - and realising there’s actually nothing stopping you from going to Plymouth next week, where you keep thinking you’ve never been…

@Ponoka7 I think you are right, the question it’s not about the money at all, it’s about your time.
I read that book in the summer and wrote it down and keep coming back to it. It’s a tough one.
