I’d love to keep working and volunteering. I’d still contribute to society and the social network that comes with it, but with none of the burden of having to earn money to survive.

Make my pottery, dive deeper into woodworking, and learn permaculture farming.

I’d travel, try new cuisine, and I’d also pick up jobs for short stints to pick up skills, almost like journeyman apprentice, I’d also do some kind of social work, and go back to academia with the intent to actually learn and not just to get a degree and get a job, but to potentially do some actual research and development

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.

I teach philosophy for a living these days.

I’d probably keep doing that, but less of it.

I’d also do a lot of writing.

Today being labor day I would go down to the protest downtown, instead I’m going to the office to do as little work as I can manage, maybe have a couple meetings to slow other people down today too

I would spend a lot of time tending my garden, growing rare produce to share with the community, and crafting.

Making music, and building guitars. That’s all.

Acting and singing. Studied Musical Theater in my twenties but couldn’t see myself making a living at it.

You know that guy that makes videos about how to live with Neolithic technology? That.

Play video games. Bake bread. Learn to code. Create music. Maybe create a game of my own some day. Release it 100% for free because all my needs are met.

… oh, and sex. Lots of sex. But I think that goes without saying

Move to Canada, Europe, or Aus/NZ.

Most likely scroll through Lemmy and play video games, pursue hobbies.

Making furniture with woodworking or maybe kitchen utensils with blacksmithing.

I work in cloud tech. Pretty good at it.

But I feel like I should be doing something with my hands. Like woodworking or blacksmithing.

I live in a apartment so I don’t have the space to even try out hobby stuff. It’s also expensive to do either.

I settled for electrical stuff and bought a bunch of gear to learn soldering. Playing with breadboard is interesting but I enjoy the soldering more.

Define basic needs.

Is that just food water shelter utilities Healthcare clothing?

Does it include entertainment?

Travel?

Enjoy it
