@llamasoft_ox@toot.walestalking about money lately makes me wonder what would I even do with it if I had loads?
I don't want a bigger house, maybe I'd fix up a couple of things on this one but that's not urgent.
I'd like a holiday now and again, but not loads in a year or aught, and most of the time just a few days up by the little train'd be lovely.
One day maybe I'd like to update the car to one that does CCS charging, but no need right now, current one is fine for my needs for a good few years yet.
PC's relatively recently updated, good for years to come, maybe moreso than me.
I have more than enough toys to play with here already, in fact I'm more likely to spend money on getting stuff thrown away, the house is too cluttered with decades worth of junk.
I'm already incredibly fortunate here. I get so much joy from just being around the sheepies, and I have the space to be able to keep them well. They aren't exotic or a huge expense but they are so good for our souls.
I like to keep up with VR stuff, I'll probably want to check out any interesting advances in AR tech, I think that'd be interesting. Some of that may be a little dear but not massive, and maybe some of it I might get to use as a dev, if I am lucky.
I guess the only reason I might regret not having enough money would be because it would've been nice to make enough to not have to worry about needing more just to carry on, and at that point just be able to give all my work away for free :)
@llamasoft_ox One potential would be to see if your creative output was any different when you never had to care about liquidity. The other potential I can think of would be to hire a support team to do all of the boring parts and leave you to only the interesting parts. I can see how either could go well or go horribly, horribly wrong.
In the end, I think you being happy with your status regardless of cash is probably the best possible outcome.
@llamasoft_ox I got a bunch of money from the whole Oculus thing. I have been helping my family out - deposits for mortgages, getting decent cars and obvious stuff that like that.
And then our neighbours wanted to retire and were having trouble selling their house and so... I bought it. It's a bit weird owning two houses right next to each other. And obviously I'll get the money back when I sell it. But yeah that's what money is for. The weird unexpected stuff.
@llamasoft_ox if there's an ST/e amongst the junk let me know. Hatari's great and that, but..
Actually in all honesty if you just sold some of what you see as junk on wherever you'd probably amass a small fortune what with those weird retro collectors and all that. They pay silly money for stuff.

( and I haven't took that pic with the crocodile ) - that's why I still have all fingers/hands/arms/legs intact 
@llamasoft_ox I would support stuff like Extinction Rebellion, Party for the Animals, Sea Shepherd, the Ukraine, food banks, etc.
Maybe work less so I can do more volunteer work. (And work out 
)
