    Re: If you were Financially Free what would you do with your Days?

    Same as I do now, but I am a boring person, All I do is teach now, all I would do then is teach..though it would be more fun to teach with DH more often (he is the wage earner) but not all day, He would write still.

      Well, I would love to go dancing more often. We use to have a brown bag place that had a live band on Sat. nights, but it closed down. I guess my ideal town would be a little town with a honky tonk place!!

        I would have time to leisurley enjoy my morning coffee with my DH, while getting our son ready for school. Then I would go to the gym for an hour or two. Garden a little. Clean the house. Plan our next vacation. Spend time visiting with my grandparents. Cook amazing meals and relax in the evenings with my family. Maybe go out to dinner twice a week. Agree to be the team mom for my sons football team. Coach his soccer team again in the spring.
        Don't worry about me I would find plenty of things to do.

          I'd volunteer at the zoo and perhaps at the United Way and give them help.

          I'd also spend a heck of a lot of time playing video games.

              Wow
              These are great! I love how so many people would give their time to help others and how so many would really enjoy life and their families!

              I love the video game playing as well! - I would too and not feel guilty about it!!! Movies and Good TV programs too!

                I'm sure my husband and I would travel more! We would take our five growing children and show them beautiful places around the country. I'm sure my husband would continue to work, but he wouldn't be as stressed as he is now.

                  I would never clean the house again! I would hire someone to do it all!

                      Cschin4, You have the best idea of all!! I would hire a house cleaner and someone to do the yard!! ( would hire someone to clean the house now if they didn't want $25 an hour)

                        I love to sew but I never have time to truly enjoy it. I am always making things to sell I would love to just sew all day long just because....

                          I have noticed in the high pace of lifestyle in Silicon Valley that people always talk about their jobs and rarely ever anything about hobbies or home projects.

                          I come to believe and sometimes I am one of them come to the point where we are overworked and now forgotten how to relax and do things other than work.

                            Just relaxing, I don't think I would spend foolishly like I have in the past

                              I would do more volunteer work...I've always wanted to sit in the maternity ICU and just rock the little babies.

                              I think once I get into the swing of things at my new job, my dd (aged 10) and I will volunteer with the library bringing books to people who are housebound. It's only a 2 hour commitment every 2 weeks, and will be doable for us. I do other volunteer work as well, but I want to be careful not to take on more than I can chew. Off topic...

                              Other than that, I wouldn't change anything.

                                Oh, so many, many things!

                                TRAVEL -- I used to travel all the time, have been all over the world, but just haven't had the money to do it for about four years now. I'M ITCHY! The irony is that DH is from England and we haven't been there at all since he emigrated here in 2003. I would love to spent some time there, getting to know his homeland and visiting with his family. I'd also love to take him to some of the places I've been to in the past -- Chile, Costa Rica, South Africa, New Zealand -- so I can "reexperience" those places with him.

                                BUY A HOME & REDECORATE/REMODEL -- I am 33 and am still a renter. One of our goals is to become homeowners, but moreover I'd love to decorate and remodel a home to really make it OURS. Plus to see how our investment in home improvement could end up turning a profit. I watch HGTV and am addicted to the design shows on there -- I have so many ideas I want to try out, but I need a house first!

                                MOVE TO THE UK -- This sort of combines my two previous wishes!

                                START A FAMILY -- Need I say more?

                                DABBLE MORE IN DESIGN -- I love design and art but have not had much opportunity to explore these activities in recent years. I would really like to take those things up again.
