This forum is NOT for simple minds. Please do not reply if you do not want to give an educated response. Watch the video and then answer the question below. Prepare to use your brain.

The question: How would you spend the rest of your life if money was no object?

My dream life is in a big city. For example: Philadelphia. I want to live somewhere with people all over. I want to be able to wake up, go downtown and have the opportunity to meet people everyday at any time. The atmosphere is just perfect in my opinion, if you've never been to a big city I would highly suggest it.

I would drop out of school and actually follow something I am passionate about rather than something that is meh but pays good.

Would society even exist if there isn't any money, honestly I think it money would come in existence no matter the circumstances.

Basically my answer..

Money is only an object in life to help us achieve happiness. Whether you agree or not, money is a crucial part of being happy - it brings you and your family financial stability and helps you open doors for your children. Without money as an object, you basically are still trying to achieve your ultimate goal of happiness, by any other way.

Without money, the only answer is that we'd all be trying to fulfil our goal of happiness, by exercising our passions and doing things that provide us with the most satisfaction and happiness.

Interesting, maybe you could rethink the question as if lets say you had all the money in the world, what would you want?

I wouldn't be as motivated, probably wouldn't attend college and go for a great paying job. I think the NBA/NFL/NHL/MLB etc wouldn't exist because it's all about the money in Pro Sports. Most of the world would be dumb because people aren't motivated by anything more then the $$$. With $$$ comes a great life, family, and a kickass car/house. Crime rates would be lower, the world wouldn't be as exciting, and we wouldn't live how we do today.

But what WOULD you do if money was not an issue?

Honestly humans have used bartering and trading since the Aztec times and beyond. It's hard for us to comprehend since we all are used to wanting so many different things that we can't provide ourselves. However, if indeed there was no bartering or trading at all, humans would be reverted back to subsistence living, where you would hunter/gather your own materials that you would need for life - this is what happened back in the stone ages.

I would probably finish High School and become a Welder or something lol.

Great video, I've seen it quite a few times but the meaning never gets old

In a life without money, I would still have a craving for wealth. Not monetary wealth of course, but some sort of value. I would want to be able to teach people how to reach the type of life talked about in this question.

I need a life that has a goal at the end. Without it, I would delve into depression and in all honesty, teaching someone a new skill is the most valuable gift you can give to yourself and the other.

With this life, I would also like a large bungalow in the suburbs
