I keep my pajamas on all day sometimes, and it is greatI think I could live in scrubs all day, and I've never worked in the medical field. Man, those are comfortable.

Now you're talking. Sounds like a great way to spend $300k. Actually I think you might need a liitle more than $300k.I'd take my usual lifestyle and turn three of the knobs to 11.
Motorsport. I raced off-road motorcycles back in the day, ran time trials in a sports car later. With 300k I'd build a shop, then a car or 3, get transport and race. Would hire as much one on one training for driving, car set up and car building as I needed. Travel the world to run on the legendary tracks. When I ran out of prep / repair work on the race car(s), I'd switch to restoring some classic performance automobile(s) from my youth, again hiring training and expertise as needed.
Flying. Soaring actually. Buy glider and trailer, rent instruction. Want a foot launchable microlight sailplane so I can fly with my hang gliding buddies, and a full sized glider to get high and go far in. Replace gliders with higher performance wings as my skill advanced. Have a two place glider so I could give rides. Travel the world to fly at the legendary spots.
I'd want to do flying and racing year round so that probably means at least two homes to be used as the season dictates. Any one region isn't going to have races every weekend, so I'd have to hire someone to haul my car transporter to wherever next weekend's race is then fly in on friday.
Cooking. Started cooking at 13, got pretty good at it. I'd tempt the local up and coming chefs to prepare meals in my kitchen but only if they also used it as a teaching opportunity to fill in the considerable gaps in my technique set.
Yes, scrubs look really comfy.I think I could live in scrubs all day, and I've never worked in the medical field. Man, those are comfortable.
+1.Actually I think you might need a little more than $300k.
The beauty of my plan is that because it's an extension of the way I've already lived, it's enjoyable at any income level at or higher than what I was earning when I retired. I'd fit my dream to the budget.Now you're talking. Sounds like a great way to spend $300k. Actually I think you might need a liitle more than $300k.
Yes, scrubs are very comfy.
24 hour shifts, not so much.
I think it boils down to what you are used to. I find I like "good enough" things. I would not enjoy a Rolls or Bentley, I like red wines that meet my palate. Any vintage stuff is lost on me because I like a good 3-year old vintage. People treat me to an 8-year old vintage and I try to be polite but it is not for me. Now Cognac/Tecilla is diferent! But 8-year old is still good enough.
Generally agree but with a little creativity.....Wouldn't mind owning a supercar for a while, upgrage some real estate? many other possibilities if you let your imagination go.
Yep; the old neighborhood just isn't what it used to be is it?I used to think kcowan was the richest Canuck on the forum......until Danmar came along.

Ricos. By the early 1800s sheep were the most important asset of nearly all well-off New Mexicans. Moreover, a small cadre of families dominated the export trade. In 1835, when herders sent eighty thousand sheep south, a single family—the Chavez brothers—possessed almost half of these animals. The ricos, economic elites, dominated the New Mexican economy through much of the early nineteenth century.
Is that what you meant Ha? Seems a little obscure?A double-click on the term 'ricos' in his post brought up this definition and link in my Chrome browser:

Well, basically the same, but this word is just a Spanish translation of rich. It is common among all Spanish speakers in the western hemisphere anyway.Is that what you meant Ha? Seems a little obscure?
