what's your ideal life like, fs? traveling the world? full of excitement? quiet on a farm? fame? fortune? mundanity?

My ideal life?

For ten days out of the month a tall, dark and handsome man takes me to a new country. This replaces my period. The rest of the time I spend in a fabulous city, writing best sellers under a pen name.

Quiet and free of stress and responsibility. I'll pass on the excitement if I can have peaceful contentment in exchange for no surprises. I don't want more than I need to sustain a reasonable standard of living and would have no need for fortune or glamor.

+ a cat.

Same, friend, same.

Ideal life: I have a job and can support myself. I have enough money to pay bills and buy food. I always have extra money to see a movie and go out to eat a couple times a month. I even have enough to pay off a little of my student loans throughout the month. I have friends who always text me back, and they live nearby. Once a year, I get to visit my family in other parts of the country. Sometimes I get to go to Europe. I also have a dog that loves to cuddle, and Netflix never buffers.

I'm ...kind of already living the way I want to.

My ideal life would involve changing the rest of the world rather than how I'm living. Less strife, less population, more focus on environment, more conservation...

Those are pipe dreams maybe, but they're nice ones.

Ideally, space travel. A nice, big spaceship, handful of beings I can tolerate. Would only set foot on earth again to bury relatives.

Like, super dream? Enough fortune to buy myself a house, pay my loans, then take a awesome trip once a year.

Realistic dream? I'd love to live in Washington DC. I fell in love with it when I visited this year and am already planning another trip to visit because I loved it so much.

You should also try and visit some other cities as well! There's a whole big beautiful world out there, you know?

I've never been to any other mega cities, but I've lived in SC and OK. I've visited many of the surrounding cities there. I need to visit someplace on the West cost eventually.

I don't want to really go anywhere south of Oklahoma. So...maybe Seattle or Denver?

Denver, Seattle, Chicago, Portland, Boston, all lovely cities to visit.

I can't wait to visit the ones I've researched already (though, I'd still love to live in DC).

Well, you know that book Anathem

Quiet, occasional travel, lots of theatre, museums, zoos. Time and money to garden, cook, read, write, and make costumes. Financially secure without having to struggle. Space enough for craft supplies, books, critters, and a big garden. A few friends and a spouse with a big family to cook for. I dunno, maybe kids if the spouse or their family had a lot of experience with them; I'm an only child not only of my parents but of my entire family, no cousins or anything, so I have no practice with them, and wouldn't want to fuck up growing and training new little humans. I'd rather have riches than fame, and mundanity than excitement.

Living in a big city in either a really cool modern apartment/condo or in a microhome on a community lot with an awesome garden, only using my car to leave downtown (walking/biking/busing everywhere I need to go on a regular basis), and traveling a lot, and also giving a lot of money to good causes. and having time to have pets (yeah, I know, traveling - you DID say ideal) and raise a family and still volunteer. lmao.

in reality I will probably have some of those things if I work at it, but not necessarily all at once xD

My ideal life would entail living in a storybook cottage in an enchanted forest near a village populated by really cool, introverted people who are down for hanging out and going on adventures but totally respect one's need for space, while spending my days creating powerful magic spells to anonymously help those in need in remote corners of the world.

And I'd have 3 pugs, a big sweet dog who looked like a bear, some cool cats, and I'd befriend a bear and a crow who could talk.

But in this life, I would love a job as a rare book librarian in a well-funded library, good friends who actually lived in the same state as I do instead of scattered around the country, a satisfying artistic hobby I actually felt motivated to engage in, and my own cool cats (who would live fully happy lives until they're 30). And a dog. OK, two dogs.

I lived my ideal life for almost a year. I taught in England through a study abroad program, and I only taught two classes, one day a week. I had my same salary as my job her in the U.S., so I was able to explore England and a few other European cities for a full term. I went most places on my own, and I went to museums, big cities, small towns, historical places, and had some of the best experiences of my life, so far.

I'd do it again in a heartbeat, and I'd recommend study abroad to everyone. The worst part is the cost, but I've sent nine students over through the program and they have all loved it, too.

Fortune but not fame, a moderately nice house where I can have a couple of cats, the finances to be able to go spend time overseas, but not too much excitement thanks.

Good health and being a writer popular enough I´m financially secure for the rest of my life. A cute house with enough space for a library and a yard where my dogs can run happily.

financial security, a big family with my wife, a nice cozy sort of quirky house, (+ self indulgent pipe dream: a moderate degree of success/notoriety as a nonfiction writer)

essentially, it's the bland middle class white man's eternal American dream, just a lot gayer
