If money were not a problem what passion would you persue to enable a fulfilling life?

I have a vision for a house that is a safe haven for young girls trying to escape the grip of extreme fundamentalism. I WILL make it happen some day!

Travel.

My wie and I have been lucky enough to visit a number of countries since we’ve been together (England, Italy, France, Canada, China, Belgium) but haven’t traveled since 2005 due to financial reasons. If money were no concern, I’d get back to international travel for sure.

I want a country property where I can raise my own produce, grow hickory trees, provide safe haven for several critters I care about, endangered or near. I’d like to have a few horses, and the opportunity to share the joy sometimes with city dwellers who would like a country getaway but can’t really afford it.

I would open a Jazz and Rhythm & Blues venue in Hawaii. Small club maybe in Honolulu.

Probably travel with some freelance illustration work. I’ve been traveling since I was 2, and still love it today. Illustration is also a love of mine, so there is no way I’d want to stop that either

As I approach age sixty and consider how my health challenges limit my choice, I find it difficult to identify my dreams and passions to which I might commit myself. That makes me feel sad.

@Jonesn4burgers I like the idea of sharing with others. I’m going to have to think on that.

Watching Nova and starting my own science foundation.

If I didn’t have to worry about money, I’d be an artist. But I’m not good enough of an artist to make a living doing it.

More people aren’t following their passion because money is a problem.

My writing, of course!

Definitely production car racing

I would like to see advanced in robotics and prosthesis devices for those with physical disabilities. It would be both gratifying and rewarding to be able to make life easier for someone who is struggling.

I don’t think money has much to do with it. If you want to travel, get a job traveling, become a merchant marine, a traveling nurse, work for the airlines. If you want to build things, get a job as a carpenter and get your contractor’s license, become an architect. If you see yourself in one of the creative fields, art, music, literature, or cooking, study it, but mostly just do it. Don’t expect to get paid at first, but you’ll never get recognized by just talking about it. If helping other people makes you feel fulfilled, go into any level of medicine, from x-ray tech, to paramedic, to nursing, to MD, the choice is yours, the schools are out there. Happiness and fullfillment come only from doing things and being good at what you do. The experience required to be good at anything can’t be bought. Not having money is just an excuse not to go out and get what you want.

What is important is independence. You can’t very well shift gears easily if you’ve hooked up with a spouse who is happy the way things are, or a brood of children who need you and the stability a parent can provide. That would definitely complicate any changes a person might want to make in their life. So, it is best to decide what one wants to be before one decides to share who they are with someone else. To do it otherwise is to put the cart before the horse. But even though family and spouses may be a formidable impediment to one’s ability to inovate, there are many examples of people who have beat the odds through a desire for fullfillment, the most heroic being single mothers.

So, it can be done, but money isn’t a big part of the formula, however the hunger for happiness is.

Travel for sure

Designing kinky sex machines.

I want to build a spaceship, go to the Moon, salvage all the junk that’s up there, bring it back and sell it.
