most of us in this world do many things and think most of the time to just earn a living for us . thats the primary goal of most us in this world . if you are given a choice that you dont need to worry about making a living and you will get it automatically when you are grown up what would you most like to do for the rest of your life ? . i will just enjoy life . go to movies , hotels chat with friends . but i think it will be boring if we dont need to worry about making a living .

If i am rich enough and doesn't have to work for a living. I would rather do some volunteer things like in the orphanage or some social work for the poor or for the children.Like teaching those poor children how to read and write. I would devote my time for humanitarian cause.

1. find time (which in this situation i believe one could have plenty of) to extend whatever help or means i'm capable of to at least alleviate or improve the lives of those who are not so blessed particularly neglected children and uncared adults. 2. visit places noted for their sacred histories

Hmm. Quite interesting. I have never given a thought to such a situation. But, after some delibrations, I think, after the customary travels to exotic places, eating all you like very much, meeting relatives, I will be back to square one. Yes, I would go back to my job of Financial Advising. Why??? Simple, I love my job. The satisfaction I see on people's face on achieving their goal is something which no money can give. I love helping people to get their finances right. It has become a passion for me now. So, even if I did not have to worry about making a living, I would still be doing my job.

Well, my friend. It has no value which is achieved without effort. Because, Allah has bestowed upon us some rules of nature by which we're bound to behave. One of them is: "No Pain, no gain." When you'll gain something with pain, you'll feel the real pleasure of its attainment. It's proven that those who have got everything couldn't hold them for long. E.G. A person who has been born with much wealth is not his own earning, it's been earned by his/her parent. Then if he is allowed to do whatever he/she likes, will have no feeling for it and soon run out them all and likely to suffer a lot leading to destruction unless he/she corrects himself/herself. But if he/she make out a fortune with his/her own, must feel the heavenly bliss of success. I don't like to make my living without worry. If I have to earn with much effort and pain, I'll feel the real bliss of living my life. Have a really nice day.

I would work as a fashion designer. This has always been my passion, but since I would have to go back to school in order to be one, and I could not even count on getting a job in the fashion industry, I am not doing it. So if I didn't have to think about money, I would definitely pursue that dream!

Out doors - This is a picture I took last year.
My desire would be to work in God's Ministry. Help people in need. Work in the church, help the homeless. Help any one I find in need. I try to do this now, but I am limited on my in- come.

That's a hard question to ask with a simple answer. For instance, would just I not have to work anymore, but my whole family that I live with still have to work their butts off? If that was the case, then I'd have to use if immediately for the family to survive. And depends on how much is automatically provided. If it is how much we make right now, it may continue to keep us just scraping. If everyone, or at least our whole family and relatives and close friends were all set off, there'd be still too many things I'd want to do. For my enjoyment, I'd love to go back to my childhood love sports- gymnastics (but find other adults to do it too ;o). Then, I'd continue my music, and volunteer at animal shelters, and hopefully continue my other volunteer work that I take part in now. Get back to writing, helping my family be happy and live life to the fullest. Provide for those in need.

This situation is something I have been thinking about for ages and ages now, ever since I learned about MLM. This will be my situation in less then 3 years, and what I will do is, teach people what I did, to be able to live that kind of life, as I travel around the world. Teach people, speaking and listening skills, teach people to care of others, come from a prosperity stand point, rather then a lack, look at what is right, and teach them to teach what they learn. Cheers, I appreciate you.

I would travel to places I have always wanted to see like Italy, Paris, other states, and maybe Australia. I would also donate some of my time to some charitable organizations and if of course I had the money with the time donate money also.....

If I had the luxury of not having to be gainfully employed, I'd spend as much of my time as possible enjoying my family. Just now, by God's grace, I am homeschooling my granddaughter. It is a real blessing, having worked for years in teaching school in many areas. Homeschool is the best. I'd reach out to the larger community through my only creative outlet, food. I'd cook and bake and give it to anyone who is hungry. I'm a nurturer and that makes me happy. I'd also be a "lady who lunches". I don't think I'd ever get bored. I'd also spend some time trying to get in better physical shape, including the fashionista side of things. Sitting by a warm fire on a cushy sofa also is fun for me, as I am the hearty idoor type. I also enjoy reading to my granddaughter. I'd also be a food voyeur, snooping in people's supermarket carts and asking them why they bought certain products and also watch people order and eat in restaurants, then ask them about their food preferences. So much for the mundane and ordinary. The best thing I could ever do would be to talk to people about our wonderful God and how much he loves us and has done for us. I'd learn to be a better Bible scholar to share the depth and breath and complete mind-blowing super intelligence of our Creator. I'd be busy with all of the above.

That's the dream, not having to worry about making a living. After that it's easy. I would do only things that I enjoy doing. I would take much more time for recreation and leisure. I'd travel more and see the world. I'd spend more time reading. I think though, that I would also have to do something constructive. Depending on how much money I had, I might start a business and maybe provide jobs for other people. I might take some classes to improve myself. Maybe do some volunteer work. I really think I would end up spending most of my time in my workshop though. I would outfit it with everything I needed to do the projects I love working on, woodworking, metalworking and building things like furniture, motorcycles, cars and restoring old tractors. I definitely wouldn't be bored. There's just too much stuff to do! [;-)

It would depend really on how much money I had. If not making a living means that I could afford to be a housewife with my hubby doing all the earning, then of course I would have my kids and family to take care of and that would take up a substantial part of my day. If I know that I would inherit a certain sum when I grow up, it would be rather harmful for me coz then I wouldn’t study yet, the way money’s being devalued I doubt if a certain sum which seems OK today would suffice a few years later. If however, I had tons of money like some princess then of course I would just enjoy life.

If it were to become true that we would no longer need to make a living, I suppose I would try to find things to do. I would most likely grow bored of things. I'd read, write, play games, and watch t.v. I'd also grow a garden with flowers and vegetables, I'd plant a few trees, I'd sip lemonande out on the porch in the summer, tea out on the porch as well! I would have hot cocoa when it's winter. I'd travel a bit... and I'd make new friends. Hubby and I would start a farm, and I'd learn more crochet.

I would still work, just less hours. I wouldn't know what to do with all my time. I would maybe do some traveling, but I have a baby and wouldn't want to be gone all the time or taking him all over the world at such a young age. I would get in shape and spend time in the yard, but nothing crazy until the kids are out of the house.

If I did dot have to worry about earning an income to support myself and my family, then I would be pretty well off. I would have to have spare money if I was in this situation, so I would invest that into what I will call a travel fund. This would give me enough money to travel around the world, visiting different countries and experiencing different cultures. During these travels, I would no doubt come across communities of people who were less fortunate than me, so I would help them out, by providing them with some basic needs and teaching them to be able to help themselves. Life should never be boring, there is no excuse other than laziness for boredom. There is so much to see and do in this world that there is no way that any of us can do it all, so there is no reason to be bored, even if we do not have to work for a living. Not that I would call working for money living!

First of all,I will try to unite my relatives. I will remove their misunderstandings between us.I will form a trust to help one another. Then slowly I will extend it to friends and neighbors. I will create a happy world.

I believe everyone has at least a hobby. I have many but no time or money to develop them. Not to worry about a living is possible when there is a source of money from other part. With enough money I could make some of my hobbies come true without being necessary to work for my living, but for my pleasure and to make gifts to my friends. Live would be so happy!
