Another 'Food for Thought' Question.If I hit the lottery tomorrow would I continue my endeavors with
Seriously you guys, think about it. This unexpected (but very serendipitous) moment of your life happens and suddenly, you are the R word, you are Rich!
You don't have to worry about money anymore, about paying bills, about having to refuse your daughter, (or granddaughter) whatever she wants. Don't have to worry about sending your son, (or grandson) to the finest school in the country, because he is the smartest kid in his age group. Or in my case, you don't have to worry about the fact that you've spoiled your cat rotten and that he's expecting "feline gourmet" every night.
Worry-Free, right? Wait. You mean I don't have to wake up and finish the post I started at WA yesterday? Or do the tasks like connecting to a socia l media platform that I had no idea about until I joined this group?
Wait. Does this mean I don't care about finishing the post anymore because someone handed me some money? (I was really trying to make a point with that post because a lot of people are not aware of what I'm talking about.)
Wait. I really want to Finish that post, publish it and send it out there into the world because I believe in what I'm doing and I think I might be able to make a contribution the planet!
HMMMMMM
What to do, what to do. What would YOU do? (I'm thinking I'd put my WA life on hold for a bit and do a shopping spree. But then I'd come back and finish that post)!!!
That's my answer. I think if I won a bucket of money, I'd stick with WA. It has enriched my life and taught me much. And I know I'd miss you fine people.
Thank you to all those who sent their prayers, blessings, thoughts and good wishes to me and my family during the days of hurricane Florence.

Life can be very boring if you don't keep your mind occupied. While I would live life to the full I would still want to prove to myself that I can set up and run a business.
Derek
Yes, Derek, I think that is a very big part of it...proving to ourselves that we can do it! Thanks for commenting! ;-]
I would continue to grow my business while I went to all the places on my bucket list :)
Nothing like adventure Sue
Great share thanks
Vicki
Thanks for the comment Vicki, I'd like to knock a few things off my bucket list too. But you're right! We can grow our online business WHILE we're taking care of that list.
"Have a successful online business" is probably on most of our Bucket Lists anyway! :-]
No lesabre, and thank you for asking. Our thoughts and prayers are going out to the poor folks in N.C. though. Take care!
Hey Sue,
Yes a bucket of money might be nice but it doesn't buy happiness!!!
What I'm doing here brings me happiness!!!so I think I would stay also!!!
Tried and True

I agree Elaine, The WA experience brings me happiness as well. Hopefully, one day it will also bring us buckets of money$! Thanks for your comment. ;-]
I could understand you thinking on this Sue
What happens when that money is all spent, yes you can live large for a minute but what about in 2 or 3 years when its all spent why not sick around don't work as hard but still shot for the goal that brought you to WA to begin with.
Don't get me wrong it would no doubt be great to win the lottery but did you know that 8 out of 10 winners are financially in worse shape 4 years after winning than they were before winning.
Yes the sad truth is, most lottery winners end up broke after they win then spend foolishly, and don't think the money will ever run out.
But I think it sure would be fun for that fist month though!
:-D
Here's to your millions made online,

Wouldn't it be nice to never have to worry about money again ever! I agree with you as I likely would indulge myself a bit; however, I truly feel you must have meaningful work in your life to remain alive and thriving. Something that get's you out of the bed everyday. I believe keeping your mind engaged keeps you young at heart and interesting. Like you, I would love to spoil my grandchildren rotten with everything, but then my son and daughter in love would hate me! Glad you survived the storm. I have a son in Charlotte and was so happy they didn't have a lot of issues with the storm. They have just had a lot of rain and intermittent power outages for short periods of time. Thanks for the blog...gave me a minute away from training! And, now back to work!
O.K., you don't even look old enough to have a son. I'm so glad he didn't have a lot of problems (flooding seems to be the worst).
And you're right, we need a purpose to our lives.
Yes, the training can be taxing but it's also fun! Thanx for connecting

If I had plenty of money, what I will do?, just trying to continue what I love to do, learning new things, every single day, being busy like I am today, I love my life as it is with up and down, when you have to struggle for something you need to use your brain, more active it can be, better function from your brain you will have

I agree Jacqueline! Thanks!
