Go back to the low paying job that I really liked but couldn’t afford.

Write, read and analyze literature. Hopefully I’ll be able to do it as a job.

I have ADHD and my hobby is collecting hobbies. I don’t typically get bored. I would likely need to do some side gig to supplement buying things for new hobbies.

Short answer: work less.

Long answer: I actually enjoy my job, and have for a long time. If I had won several million long ago I would have kept my job because it (most of the time) was very fulfilling and important, though it has largely wrecked my body.

Now I can’t fly anymore, so while my job is still important and fulfilling, it’s not nearly as exciting, and I am constantly crazy busy, so I’d love to cut my hours about in half, probably. I’d still want to work.

Oh, and I’d build a forge in my backyard. So maybe work the same amount, but some of my time crafting things.

Basic needs only? Still work so I can have money to do more than just basic things.

Get a proper sleep.

I would do nothing while also not stressing out about doing nothing.

If I were rich Id open a “Nerd-pub” board games, tabletop games, arcade machines, pool tables, pinball machines…

If I were just “doing ok” id probably start a youtube channel buying really cheap cars of FB marketplace and just reviewing how much of a piece of shit I’ve bought this month.

Work on Free Open Source Software. Seriously, I fucking love software engineering and I can’t really imagine doing anything else with my life. In fact, that’s kinda my current plan - work towards financial independence and then work on things that matter to me, on my own terms. I really hope I won’t get burned out somewhere in the process.

Pick up learning new languages and how to draw and make music. Create the things i think would be awesome but nobody else wants to and i cant because i dont have the money to learn efficently the skills required. Live in a nice little house in the woods with someone who loves me for who i am. Eat healthy and exercise.

Work to solve problems. Not on a fixed schedule, but my choosing.

Also, long walks and visiting people I like.

I’d start with gardening, fishing, road tripping, camping, hiking, but I think that might eventually not be stimulating enough. I’d probably pickup a hobby that would enable artistic expression. Maybe pottery, or stained glass?

Painting, drawing. General arts. Travel. Eating adventures. Fitness. Electronics and automation. Programming. Health focus.

And I’d make my point and click adventure game. Finally.

The dream

I’m a licensed electrician. I do construction for my job.

If I didn’t need to work to support myself and my family, I’d offer my services as a licensed electrician to my community at-cost. I’d charge for materials, but not my own labor. Basically, just use the skills I have to support others in my community who could benefit from those skills.

But I also wouldn’t work anything close to 40 hours/week.
