You have heard that question, “What would you do if you had a million dollars?”. I am pretty sure everyone has thought about what they would do if a massive amount of money came to them. It’s easy to spend that money if you are the average person. I often wonder, what would I do with my time?

I started thinking about this today. Assuming that I got a couple million and paid off the debt, and maybe even bought a house in a community we were checking out recently….how would I spend my time? In my scenario, I don’t have to work. Now, it’s no hidden secret I am a workaholic of sorts. I am always doing something so it’s not like I wouldn’t work, I would just work differently and not a traditional 9-5 like I do now.

Mr. P would probably start a consulting business dealing with Quickbooks. He knows the program inside and out and has helped people do setup with QB. As for me, I am on the fence as to whether or not I would really leave accounting behind. If I didn’t, I would only take on a client or two and did basic bookkeeping for them. I would work from home as would Mr. P. That is something I have always really wanted to do. With slight bookkeeping, I wouldn’t be very busy and that is awesome. I would spend a couple mornings a week writing articles for Associated Content and Modern Pagan. One day a week I would spend canning. Another day would be devoted to beading and jewelry making. Another for candles, another for soap, another would be a  craft day and yet another would be devoted to knitting. I would take up gardening finally since I would be able to devote time to it. I would be a handmaking fool. What we couldn’t eat/use I would sell. Perhaps at a local market and maybe online. Spending my time being creative is what I would thrive for.

So what would you do? I know some of you are stay at home moms, would anything change? Would it change if your kids were older and in school (I know that that has a huge factor in my dream world lol)?
