Question:
So say I lived in that fabulous house in Tuscany, with untold wealth, a gorgeous, adoring mate, and a full staff of servants...then what?
Answer:
I would love and live life. I would do all those things I've always wanted to do, but couldn't afford. My desires aren't really about "having all the things!", but more about "doing all the things!". Here are some of the things I would do:
1. Take my kids to Disneyland, finally! Stay at the hotel there, and gorge ourselves on the place.
2. If my kids enjoy Disneyland, do a tour of the other theme parks like it.
3. Take a couple years and be a tourist in every state.
4. Take a couple years to travel and be a tourist in every country. (Well, most of them. Not the hostile ones!)
5. Take classes. Some subjects I'd want to study: psychology, sociology, horticulture, creative writing, personal fitness & health
6. Hire a personal trainer and get into the best shape of my life!
7. Take bellydancing classes.
8. Take singing lessons.
9. (This one actually does involve "buying stuff") Build the most amazing, equipped underground bunker to rival the government. I could house a small community down there.
10. Have my dream garden.
11. Be able to pursue all my hobbies and potential hobbies without worrying about being able to afford the supplies!
Those are things I would do for me, personally. However, most of my enjoyment would come from being able to help others. I would spoil the hell out of my family and friends, including that full staff of servants! (And I would not call them "servants"! What a horrible sounding word.). I would donate time and money to local community-building organizations like the library (of course), shelters, food banks, etc. I would love to be the person who could show up at places and randomly pay off someone's bill.
Yeah, I've thought about this a time or two. =)
