Well, if I didn't have to worry about paying the mortgage...
I would be a weaver (I make hand-woven projects on a loom, but only as a hobby and for gifts - I would like to begin crafting for sale) who is also a cyclist and a horseback rider and driver. I would expand my farming activities. I would volunteer for the town Conservation Commission and the local SPCA, and work to coach low-income people with their budgeting and financial issues on a part-time basis.
In reality, I am all of those things already. The only thing I would change is that, although I love my job, I would rather do it 2 days a week (instead of full-time, which I am now) and do all the other stuff the rest of the time!!!Once I started thinking about it, I realized that I am pretty happy as I am!

Ah well. I'm 31 now... only 44 years or so until retirement.![]()
(No, I didn't do the math incorrectly - I'm not expecting Social Security to take care of me, and as an employee at a non-profit I don't have any retirement benefits.Boy, do I miss that 401k with the matching dollars from when I was in banking!)
