I defitinly think i'll build stuff.

I'd like the idea of helping to build things like schools and homes for people who really need it.

I'd code games and build other stuff ( which I'm keeping a secret ) I'm technically already on my way to doing that it's just it's going to take longer and I have to do smaller scale stuff to earn money first.

I hope you are or will be paying income tax on any of these or future earnings  Grin.

I'd do the same thing. After I've seen the world I'd buy a nice sailing boat and sail around the world until I died.
And well, the first of these two thing I'll do a few years from now anyway. Just going to save up some money first! Wink

If I didn't have to work ever again (assuming I saved up enough when I worked), I would:
#1 : Spend time with my family (Priority)
#2 : Continue painting
#3 : Learn a new skill and build something from scratch
#4 : Some Charity work and hopefully help inspire others

I know I will not be bored sitting in front of a TV all day,
will not be reading novels (not a book person),
most likely be in different forums like here...

Come to think of it, building a car out of old spare parts,
or making an music amplifier could be on the top of the list

Arh... this sounded like the "Bucket List"  Shocked

I am off...

Renting out properties is not as easy as it sounds. A friend of the family used to rent houses out, but a couple of people competently trashed some of them or continually broke shit so he had to constantly repair stuff. People don't look after shit when it isn't there's and it also takes a hell of a long time before you start seeing any profit on your investment.

Maybe one day I'd like a holiday home and rent it out to friends and family, but only if I was very well off and money wasn't an issue.

Thats why most places want safety deposits.

Yeah, but a deposit/bond of £1000 on a £150,000 house that is completely trashed doesn't amount to much.

It's all fun and games until somebody loses an eye

Hence the need for passive income or, at the very least, have a job you can do from anywhere. As long as you have a laptop and can find a half decent Internet connection, you're technically okay!

Honestly, I may just buy some properties somewhere and rent them out to tourists and whatnot. AirBnB style.

If you rent out properties you can't just go moseying around the world. As you would have to be continuously on-call to fix problems for the renters. And make sure they don't wreck the place.


You could pay somebody to be your property manager, but that cuts into the profits from renting. You just have to weigh the costs and benefits of freedom to travel vs having a higher income.

You'd also have to check up on the property manager to see their job is done properly and they do not scam you (e.g. by withholding money for repairs that weren't made). Unless he or she is someone you really trust.

But you could do that sort of checking up by talking with tenants when you are back in town (or by calling them), so that is just part of paying for a manager, it does not keep you from travelling.

Problem is that there are notenough opportunities for income if you are constantly on the move.

You can still do that without lots of money. There are people who travel the world without spending much money. Google "traveling the world on a low budget".

Hell, if you're an average American paying rent, traveling to some parts of the world would probably end up having a lower cost-per-day for you, including airfare.

Same is true for people in the EU. Where I live (Netherlands) the lowest rent you can find is at least twice as high as what an average worker in a third world country makes per month. And then you haven't yet paid for taxes (there are many of them), utilities, medical insurance and not to mention food and clothing. Sad
