[INFJ] If money were no object and you had no responsibities ..

[JustPhil]

.. what sort of life would you make for yourself? Where would you live? What would you do with your time?

For me there are two places:

I would like to live deep within a forest. A simple house, that was open to the elements for the most part. Walking the paths within that forest and sitting by a creek or a lake listening to the water. I'd have a room full of books to keep me company. Every two weeks I'd touch base with society by buying supplies, and would live in the main off the grid.

I would like to live on a small island in the middle of sea where storms raged every winter and summers were warm but not overly hot. I would like to live in a lighthouse that at the top had a sun room with books lining the walls. I would venture out on cold windy evenings to listen to the sea crashing against the rocks at the base of the cliff and feel the wind try and blow me over as I made to the cliffs and back. A supply ship would come every three months with what I needed to survive and news of the outside world.

A-framed house by a lake. .heat from a wood stove. boat tied to the dock out in front. tall fir trees all around. oil lamps and candles for light. .Lots of books, and a large music room. An old volkswagen bus in the driveway.

the other, and actually possible: live in an RV and simply travel from place to place. . boon docking as much as possible, and living in wilderness areas

Lol I know, just trying to get a rise out of you.

As for the question I've had an idea for a video game in my head for a few years and if I was obscenely wealthy I would make it a reality in a heartbeat!

If money were no object...

I would resign from my job immediately so that I could enroll myself in a university to get my master's degree and get professionally certified as soon as possible. Then I would allocate more time to socialise and hope that in the process, I would meet my future wife.

I would also spend the time to travel and go see my friends who are far away as I haven't seen them in ages and why not profit to visit some countries which are on my travel bucket list (I could also pay for their tickets so that they can finally come visit my country).

Then, I would settle down and find a job where I can practice what I have learnt in order to contribute to society meaningfully (ideally as a consultant so that I'm free to work according to my own schedule).

For my home, I don't want a big house; just a house big enough to live comfortably in a nice neighbourhood with a big garden so that my future kids and pet(s) have the space to play and have fun.

This would be the dream life...yes *nods nods* (^_^)

Also, I would buy a Volvo XC60 T8 because I'm currently in love with this car! hehehe <3

P.S. Those things doesn't have to be done in this chronological order. I can't predict how my life will be but those of the main points that I would do if money was not a concern. ^^

Oh, I like this question but my answer changes regularly.

For a home, I'll have a nice house. Basically, a clone of this one. I think it's somewhere on the Mississippi.

I'll also have a swanky apartment overlooking the Thames in London.

I'll study (a lot) but at my own pace. I don't know what. Part of me thinks I'll do psychology and go down the route that I haven't gone down yet. I am an apologist for the asylum model of mental health care so I'll open a new variety of 'sanctuary' where people, including myself, can stay and forget the world of bullshit priorities and work on self whatever... I haven't thought this bit through completely.

The other part of me would go back and learn to make special effects to do work for horror films and theme park attractions. Eventually I'll open my own theme park to rival Disney and Universal. This is much more appealing.

I doubt I'll marry or have kids but I'll fully embrace the transactional nature of relationships.

.. what sort of life would you make for yourself? Where would you live? What would you do with your time?

This brings up many ideas for a person like myself. If money were no object I'd need a living space similar to this ...

Drachenburg Castle, Germany aka Dragon Rock

It would have to be built on the waterfront.
I'd build my dream art studio and gift shop in it. A place where I could house all the things I've saved over the years to put into projects. A large work area, especially a blank wall that is 15 ft high by 30 ft wide to use as my project board I would need a store front large enough to display items of multiple sizes.
I'd spend my time creating in the studio or in its massive library ... I'd need books, lots of them. And, a large kitchen area.

No responsibility?!? I've always had responsibilities. With none, I would have to experience the newness of this fully.

I would travel the world looking for lost souls. Homeless, girls/women forced into prostitution, misunderstood misfit delinquents. I would invite them to come with me. We would share love and pain, live humble lives and become like a family. Home would be wherever we are. Joy and love would cure our hearts

If you ever get bored of the tranquilizing silence me and the gang could pay you a visit. Seems you'll have plenty empty rooms or real estate for us to camp out. There would be some lively folks and some cuties.. I'm sure they'd all love you.

You all would be welcome ... mind you're respectful of whose space your in

Oh, and just because I asked for a big kitchen doesn't mean I'm cooking. Can ya cook GRiMMy? If not, bring one with you,

Lol, no worries Sandie. They will respect you. If not their bones will tremble fearing me because I love them. I'll bring my cook, though she will look up to you. Im perfectly able of roasting some meat both verbally and with flames

Create responsibility.

I would buy mansions, bone my wife, start a family, and run for office.

I am pretty much your first scenario, except I'd have wifi, my own garden, my own workshop. Maybe chickens. And then every once or twice a year I will travel to a new city and come home there. I might also have tod be an hour's drive to a small town where I can buy some other ingredients and all the extra food i i make, I can leave it in pockets corners for the homeless or maybe even a shelter or an orphanage. Or maybe I'd ask the mayor to build a take what you need and leave what you don't shed

 

[Professor Snep]

Depends on my mood, but I guess it would be both living in a city and some retreat in the mountains, so I can be both near and away from people.

 

[David54]

I think I'm going to amend my first inclination. . and I might just do this. I'd like to live on a boat. nothing fancy, something like an old cabin cruiser. .say 30 feet or so. I'd love to live on the water and be able to take my house out for a cruise now and then

 

[HDhotdog]

I would learn Finnish, move to Finnland, get myself a nice telezoom lens and enjoy my dream of photographing Finnland's beautiful wildlife.

Why Finnland?

To me nordic countries always had some special flavour and as far as I've heard and seen Finnland has some beautiful forests and incredible wildlife. There's nothing more relaxing than going out at 4 am in the morning when no single soul is outside and lie in a field, enjoying a warm tea while waiting for some cute foxes or other animals. Watching the sun rise and hearing the birds starting to sing. Geese flying in formation through the red sky and hares lying next to me waiting for the warmth of the sun. Taking some pictures and then leave in peace when the first dog owners and joggers appear.

Unfortunately I can only do this on weekends because I'll sleep for the rest of the day

Maybe one day this dream will come true.. (Finnish is a tough language! )
