What would you do if you could retire today?

I overheard a conversation of a group discussing what they would do if they could maintain their income for the rest of their lives without have to work ever again.

One said he would work on his house, watch TV and sit around, a lot.

Another said he would get up early in the morning and take pictures of the sun rising over the mountains.

Another said they would figure out ways to make more money.

And another said he would buy a 100 acre remote ranch, learn how to fly a helicopter, so that he would be the only one who would have access to it.

So what was stopping each of them from doing the thing they wanted to do today?

Not much.

What is stopping you from doing the things you want to do?

Some of these answers I’m sure were tongue in cheek but the thing that I found most interesting was that not one person mentioned how they could give something back.

What a waste.
