Living the dream..are you living the dream???

[GrilledSteezeSandwich]

I think it's possible for me to live the dream without living in Jackson WY during the ski season..but that would be the ideal..work 8 months here in the A and live in Jackson in a hotel the other 4 months. I wonder what a room at the 49er would cost for 4 months? That way I'd get a free breakfast..free bus to the slopes..and be walking distance from everything and not have to deal with any bills..except back here in PA.

There's free porn on the internet??? I never knew that! :dunce:

You're the sucker paying $29.95 a month???

No matter what anyone's doing...I think that's pretty On Target drjeff. Use it or lose it! Doing something stimulating in life is what seems to keep people feeling and acting young[er]...

A colleague of mines spouse worked with a group of people who collectively won over $100 million in one of dem dere big Powerball Lot-trees..well anyway..each of them ended up with $10 million after taxes and within 3 months, 8 of 10 had quit their job...

I don't play the lottery..seriously, I don't even want 10 million, I'd be happy with lifetime season pass to Blue mountain..which I should already have for all the free marketing I give them..hint hint Barbara Green if you're reading this..:smile:

I agree with bigbog and DrJeff that you have to use your brain. I watch Jeopardy alot and kill it dawg!!!!...My oldest buddy who is 83 years old has been retired for 20 years. He lives off of Social Security and collects a small pension. His parents bought the house he lives in now for $5500...and he plays the lottery everyday. Just $3 a day..Just under $1100 a year but his reasoning is that if you don't play you won't win. He's living the Dreamand once you get to be 83..women outnumber men 3:1...JEA!!!

You're a sick man, mondeo.

I knew there was a reason I liked you.

We paid off the house, it is in a nice area close to ski areas, my wife and I are best ski buddies, both kids are doing well, all my family are close by, I have 2 beautiful grand daughters, everyone is healthy, we both have jobs that keep the mind stimulated, I skied 100 days this winter with lots of friends, there is lots to do around here in summer, and am totally happy. How can it get any better than that? Yes I would say that I am living my dream!

The one thing I doubt I could ever do right now in my life, even if I won the lottery is retire.

I agree 100%. I'd probably start my own small business...doing what...who knows? Landscaping, A small oil change/tire rotation garage. Just something to keep me semi busy.

A mechanic up the road from our office was somewhat living the dream. He hit the lottery for a few million a number of years back. He opened a small garage, hired his son as the mechanic and he ran the office. Great bunch of guys; very fair prices and they often comp'd people on little stuff.

I have a lot to be thankful/grateful for and have achieved many of my dreams, so in that essence I am living the dream. However, I will always have dreams that I want to achieve; don't ever see myself a point in life where I've stopped dreaming.

Wining the lottery or having something else happen in life that eliminated my need to work would be a beautiful thing and I would retire from working absolutely. I'd become a professional volunteer instead; local animal shelter, boys and girls club, perhaps buy a 15 passenger van and sponsor an introduction to skiing program for kids in the local school system. There are no shortage of things that I can think of that I could do to keep my mind active.

I am definitely not living the dream . . .

The dream (for me) is to cruise around in a sweet, tricked out van from ski area to ski area constantly following the snow. Storm hitting Utah? I'm there. Heli skiing in BC? I'm there. I'd drive to Chile for the summer, or catch a plane to NZ if I wanted to. If I ever needed a break from skiing, I'd hop a plane to Tahiti, Bermuda, or anywhere else I could think of. I'd plan out expeditions in my spare time. Haute Route? Why not? Trek to Everest Base Camp? Would be cool to see. I'd make it a point to ski on every continent and swim in every ocean. I'd have a debit card that has millions of dollars in the account so I'd never run out. And I'd have a revolving crew of misfits and drunks to do everything with me.

I mean, my life isn't really THAT bad now. I'm just saying, if I won the lottery, there's no way that I'd keep my job (or any job).

Me neither...and me too.

I like the way you think.
