Shoulders?-Stomach!

Perhaps you are these people already.

Scenario, quickly: No bills, no The Man. No luxury exactly but you get a choice, free will, no judgement past the existing laws. Your basic needs are met, along with bursaries to support your interests.

Oh don't bother I know the first 16 replies will be sleep with children.

Travel.

Write.

Pick drawing back up again.

Adopt more dogs.

Find a secluded place with my stack of books and get stuck in.

I have a friend like this, essentially he was able to retire early on the proceeds of a business that he sold which gives him just about enough to live on. He smokes weed, walks the dog, reads a lot of books, watches a lot of documentaries, summers in Rangoon, luge lessons, walks the dog, plays a lot of games (before Covid we would meet up regularly for board / role playing games, but now he just plays computer games - I can see from Steam he plays a lot of Rimworld), and walks the dog.

I should point out that he's not some venture capitalist shitebag, he got lucky in that he was one of the first lot of people to understand computers and managed to build a living out of that.

Interestingly, this sounds as dull as fuck.  Didn't expect that.  Despite the ball ache and poor sleep if I was to lose the stimulation and satisfactions of career it appears I would need to be rich to compensate for it.

Yeah, I'd travel, stay in hotels all the time, and just generally muck about.

I think the OP scenario was that you'd be able to live a modest responsibility-free life rather than swan about in perpetuity.  I would be well up for the latter.

imitationleather

Whenever I needed a poo I'd just go on the floor.

DrGreggles

Based on the last year or so, I'd edit bits of pop songs together.

What about arthritis and stuff.  Do I get to keep all this degrading body shit at bay?

Goldentony

first image I thought of as a serious answer is a bedsit flat in Camber surrounded by cider instead of a decent semi detached in Camber surrounded by cider

Goldentony

remember being driven outof camber once and tinking "fuck all here" in someone elses voice, definitely go there I think for a while

Goldentony

by driven I dont mean chased out like the wolfman or the mummy some godless thing

The Culture Bunker

Count me as another of those "quite happy doing very little" types. Give me an internet connection and enough cash for a few pints on a weekend, a few Playstation games and a couple of short European city breaks a year, I'll toddle along happily for the rest of my allocated days.

Post things other people just posted so they might think they were on my ignore list.

on one hand give loads to charity, on the other, buy plastic explosives and make sex masks out of them for lads you just hit with a mallet while you wank on them
