If money and time were no object, what would you be doing right now? Well, in that case, I wouldn't have a job to go to, so I would spend most of my time if not all of it with my family and friends. I would take my kids out wherever they wanted to go, be it the local skating rink or a theme park. I would take my teenage daughter out shopping and spoil her a bit for once. I would even spoil myself, and go shopping with a girlfriend without worrying about a budget. I would travel a lot, visit all the places I always wanted to go to, all around the world. Nothing would stop me from completing my own dreams for once. I would go out until I dropped from exhaustion ,and start over the same the next day, over and over again. I think that this kind of thing would never get old, don't you?=)

If I had all the money I need, I would start the business that I've been dreaming of since I was a teenager, a place like the Seaport Village in San Diego, CA. I will have my bookstore, my vintage shop, ice cream parlor and novelty shop that would carry the accessories that I make. I'd have a house built for my folks and one for mine nearby so I wouldn't have to drive...maybe I'll just get a moped or a bike with a basket. Basically I will live my dream and spoil my one and only niece by traveling to wherever she wants...better experiences than 'stuff.'

That business sounds a great idea! I've always thought running a book shop would be an ideal job and the ice cream parlour sounds lovely too! I hope you get your dream coming true one day!

I could just imagine myself lazing away the hours on a lounging chair by the beach under the shade of a tree with a cold glass of pinacolada and responding to discussions on MyLot with my laptop. That's real cool huh!

Hi joe pat: wow, the beach, that's a beautiful image, I think who wouldn't like to be in a tropical paradise enjoying the time with no worries, just thinking about what to do to have fun. Pinacolada, its only name makes me evocate the beautiful images of my last travel to the beach. It's cool that you won't forget mylot. Thanks for your answer. Have a nice day. ALVARO.

I would be doing exactly what I am doing now except I would be doing it on a beach in Bali or somewhere equally exotic and relaxing. I visited a house for sale yesterday that I absolutely loved but is way beyond what I could ever afford so perhaps, before I got on the plane to Bali I would just drop in to the real estate office, give them a cheque and pick up the keys to my new house!

Ha ha ha, I would do the same as you, except the last thing about going out until you dropped from exhaustion. I would travel definitely, take my family with me to show them the world. I would build a good hospital, I would build a good school, I would build a god recreation park for children, I would build a villa or two for family and friends... you see I am a chronic case of an idealistic!

Well, for me. I would rather spend my love ones. Because I would like to give much time on it. I usually have don't time because of business. I wish I can spend my rest of my time to the one I love without worry over money.

I would have our house renovated, then bring the kids to whatever place they would want to go. I would also buy them all the high tech gadgets that they want. As for my husband, I will definitely buy him his dream SUV. Of course, travel to different places would also be wonderful. how i wish money is no longer a concern so I can do these things.

If money and time were no object I would spend most of my time on travelling. I would visit a lot of different places in my own country and I would visit a lot of different countries around the world. I love travelling, and I always try to save up money for travelling, but if I had a lot of money I would travel much more than I do at the moment and visit lots of different countries. I also like to visit different places in my own country, but I don't that much money and I can't spend a lot of money on gas etc. If money wasn't an object I would visit new places almost every weekend I think.

Because I have always liked sport (watching as opposed to participating) I would spend the money and time on following major sporting events around the world. For example; there is the soccer World Cup coming up. I would definitely go to that and if England got knocked out early I would try to buy a ticket for the Wimbledon Tennis which will be going on at the same time (later on) and I would also try to buy a ticket to watch the England cricket team play Australia IN AUSTRALIA over Christmas. The list is endless as regards to sporting events around the world..I'd never be bored!

If there money and time was not a barrier. I would be cruising the Caribbean or the world's beautiful beaches. I would also be joining efforts to end hunger and poverty, as well as do medical missions. Of course I would sign up for a class with Cesar Millan on dog training so I can personally train my fur babies. Take my family for a great family safari adventure. But that's just me being wishful!

Wow, this is the best question I've ever bumped into mylot. It made me think what I am living for. Well, I will do all the things I love. This most common answer to this question. Not only that, I will spend a lot of time with my boyfriend and family and friends and more! I think I will be hugging them one at a time for a long time. :)

If I have all the time and money in the world, I would be going around places right now, checking on all the businesses that I've put up. I will make sure my family are enjoying life as much as I do. I will bring my daughters shopping in Hongkong to their hearts content or we could be in Hawaii enjoying the beach or strolling along the streets of Paris looking for good buys or I could be in my own resort home on top of a hill beside the sea with my husband and daughters, eating splendid baked mussels, barbeques and burgers, enjoying the view before us, looking at the magnificent sight of clear blue skies, calm blue waters, watching sailboats and large ships sail. That kind of life. Dreaming on is free and you are right, we could never let go of our dreams until such time we see it materializing.

I would be enjoying life, doing what I want to do if I were not restricted by money. LOL. I would be at spas, relaxing myself and at the same time losing weight with treatments.

What a nice question. If i were in that situation, definitely I am now enjoying our social gathering for God where we are singing and dancing while praising and worshiping God, at the same time I'm relaxing my mind and no financial worries exhaust upon me even the time of enrollment of my two college students are nearly approaching. Then i will give all they wanted especially the things that they need most like going to the parlor and dermatologist. And if really this happens I would say to my self that I am already achieving the peace of mind from having a financial freedom, and now I have the ability to help the needy of which i desired most.
