As WordPress continues to recycle old prompts, I pulled another prompt from The Coffee Monsterz Co to respond to today

I Wish I Had Enough Money To…

I wish I had enough money to…never have to worry about work again. I don’t have to be obscenely rich, like Elon Musk or Jeff Bezos. All I would “need“ is enough money so that I didn’t have to worry about work ever again.

Don’t get me wrong, i would probably still work, just to have something to do. But it would be nice to work a job because i WANT to, as opposed to working because I NEED to. That, and knowing that I could walk out of a job at any given moment that I would be OK would be a reassuring feeling.

I hope that it would go without saying that I would also want to be sure that Kid 1 and Kid 2 are set for life. I would not want them to become some nepo-babjes socialites on a reality-tv show. I would just want to have enough money that closeness them up with an investment where they could live comfortably off the interest – in the event that they need to fall back on it.

I wish I had saw enough money to help out family and friends. I’d like to think that if I had THAT much money, I’d be something I’d a philanthropist, like Bruce Wayne.

This sounds corny, but I’ve always had this fantasy of being a “secret Santa” around the holidays – walking into a grocery store or a big box retailer and making some announcement that I was going to be paying for other people‘s purchases.

Of course, having this much money wouldn’t hurt my chances with the ladies…

These fantasies are fun to have, right until reality comes crashing down on your head. The truth is, I am statistically, more likely to get struck by lightning, twice, and survive both experiences, than I am to win the lottery.

Come to think out it, this DOES sound like a lot of money.

Still not as much as Elon or Bezos though…
