If you won 10 million dollars

4.20.2006

I'm realizing how messed up the currency system we have in this day and age. I'm starting to become one of those old farts that say, "back when I was a kid, we could buy a cone from McDonald's for only a quarter!" Also when I was a kid, I'd always ask myself what I'd do if I won a million dollars. Now? I'm realizing winning a million dollars would still require me to work for my retirement. Funny how currency/money works.

So I've been posing to people the Office Space question now though to anyone I'm having a conversation with. What would you do if you won 10 million dollars? I mean, after all, 10 million is enough for a person to quit their job if they wanted to. This also tells me if a person actually loves what they're doing or are they just doing it to pay the bills. I know that's not the point of the Office Space question though, I mean, usually they ask you this crap in a job interview or at a career counseling to get a better understanding of what your passions are.

I think I'd want to travel for a bit. I realize that while I've had a lot of schooling in classrooms, but very little of the world itself and I feel like traveling would open my eyes up a little more. I'd also probably indulge myself in a business venture of some sorts, be it in music or film, but I've always been drawn to the line where the arts and business meet. Other than that, I don't really know what my aspirations are. I spent too much of my 20s being complacent or distracted and I guess I'm paying for it now, I'm just stuck in "paying the bills" mode. Its not a detrimental routine, at least not in the short term, but I guess I'm starting to ask myself what kind of goals I need to start setting and where I want to be at the end of my 30s while I'm just at the beginning of it.
