    Nocturnal friend wants to become a ‘NEET’ which I have learnt stands for Not in Employment, Education or Training. She said she just wants to win the lottery. A girl can dream.

    What would you do if you won the lottery?

        That’s a basic human right! It might be a bit naïve of me, but surely there’s a way to achieve this in the not so distant future?

      My dream is to have an abode in Melbourne, and also a second abode in a regional place I like that serves as a weekender but I will eventually retire there. I’d love to retire early; I don’t think my body can handle hard physical labour for another 15 years even though I love it. That’s probably it lol. It’s only the lottery: when I was a kid a lottery win would set you up for life. Now I feel like it’ll pay off your house and your kids education and not much more.

      Edit: that’s assuming I win something smallish. If I won like 15 million dollars or something that’d be very different.

        I think that is definitely a possibility. But in the mean time, I hope where you’re living feels like home. And home isn’t just a place. I also hope you can find home in yourself 💕

      This used to be called a LOL - Lady of Leisure. Estimated income level = $200,000 pa MINIMUM. Without working, that’s a shittonne of capital at 2% pa averaged. She can dream, but those dreams are not realistic. I doubt even the lottery would finance that sort of lifestyle.

        You mean like a socialite?

        Not sure that Low’s friend said what she wants to do, only what she doesn’t want.

      buy a nice small house by a beach, set up a nice art work studio, do education and training, work at my art and do part time employment

      doing nothing would drive me crazy

      My really boring answer to this is go see my financial advisor and get things set up so I can live like I do now but without the work
