If you didn't have to worry about making a living...
...what would you most like to do for the rest of your life?
Hang out with my family, travel to historic sites in the US and abroad. I would continue working in real estate and writing.
I would live in a bigger city, do lots of traveling, and write a lot of books!
I would write, read, go to school, get about 5 degrees, design my own house, travel, go on cruises once a year, etc.
I would write books instead of hubs. Also, I'd devote more time to activism and advocacy.
Exactly what I’m doing now. Sit on my porch with my gorgeous husband watching the sunset. Life if too short to wait for one day… do what you have to do now because tomorrow may never come!
Read books in a house by the ocean. And travel with friends and family!
Spend all the time with my 2 girls and travel around the world with them.
Stress!
For what would life be without challenges, without passion, and without the need to excel?
Without the need to work, would we value things differently... or for that matter... would we value life differently?
Would we appreciate giving? For if we didn't have to earn a living, would it be considered "of value" providing a donation to a charity? And would we even feel compelled to give?
Or would we become lazy blobs of flesh tossed upon a couch living vicariously through others dancing on a television or computer screen?
Come on... you're reading this post and saying... oh snap, that's me!
I'd spend my time posting on blogs and forums, for I enjoy engaging conversation and an opportunity to share ideas.

Does it seem that lots of people on here only care about making money?i see people asking how much they can make, what to write about to make money etc. has the love of writing been lost to many hubbers.

Is writing hubs about making money or for the love of writing?I don't write hubs that will get me hundreds of advertisement clicks, I write because I love writing. Why do you write hubs?

Hubs about making money on this site are among the most popular. What does that say about Hubpages?

Are blogs about making money online the only people that are making money online?I want to see some blogs about real everyday things that make some money. It can be through adsense, or selling products, or referring to amazon.... but it seems like the only blogs that are boasting profits are ones...

Should you worry about proper English when writing or just let the creativity flow?Why are some people so anal about grammar and sentence structure when they read something that somebody else wrote? Does creativity count for anything?
