I may be down for the count, but the Friday show must go on.
.

.
I can’t imagine anyone choosing 100 rental properties. That sounds like hell on earth to me.
And since I already have the spouse part down…
Never age? I don’t know. It sounds good but if it means I never die, outlive everyone I love and have to see humans destroy this beautiful planet? I think I’ll pass.
Give me perfect health, $600 million to enjoy it and a private island when I don’t feel like peopling.
How about you?
Pick three.
.
We think alike:
1. Not only do I hope to die one day, but I really hope reincarnation isn’t a thing. One ride is enough.
*2. Yes, please, but only if I can keep it secret from the general public.
3. Be a landlord? No thank you.
*4. Yes. I would be surprised if anyone said no to this one.
5. He’s not perfect, but he is a dream for me, so I’m good there.
6. With my $600 mil, I’d be too busy traveling the world to enjoy the private island. It would feel too much like a cabin – gotta go every weekend to make it worth it.
*7. Yes – I like teaching, but working fulltime is for the birds.
6. Seems a bit redundant if you have $600 million. I’d take it along with the money, but since I’ve already got my three, I’m out.

Well stated.
Good point on the island. Who needs another lawn to mow?

I just showed the list to the Husband. He didn’t choose perfect health! I guess I CAN imagine someone not picking that. And as I type this I’m thinking he must still be groggy from sleep to exclude that one. He just went through a half year health crisis. I’ll have a talk with him…

Think he needs more coffee. Or tea.
Perfect health is a given…

I will go with number 2 as long as I could keep quiet on that.
And I will pick 7, although I may like to do something with regards to work of just a few hours to keep my feet on the ground.
The others don’t interest me unless finding a spouse I could guarantee that he would be a perfect gent and not a fake who turned out abusive in the end. Otherwise, just the two out of the list would interest me.

2, 6 & 8… but only if 7 is a loose interpretation of “work” I’d still have to do. Like, waking up is work for me.

I believe all come with caveats. Perfect health might make me horrible to live with and lack of any empathy at all. Too much money might make me a target. No one is perfect. If I never age, like Dorian Gray that might be scary! I would keep running into the same type of people, like a day never ending. Never work again might make me bored unless I was near retirement or retired. But a private island which only I and my spouse and maybe one or two others knew, Perfect!

However those 100 rental properties might entertain me and clue me in a lavish lifestyle, so I picked 3!

Rental properties are nothing but headaches. I don’t want one, no less one hundred.

I would hire one of my brothers and his friends to take care of it. Maybe a few relatives and try to keep it in the family. The husband would be the accountant. I would rent on an island used for summer crowd and the crowd from Michigan (snow birds). I would keep a few people I knew employed and watching out for the properties. Fantasy, right.

Yeah, I trust my brother and his friends would figure a way to keep them at bay or maybe just sell one property at a time. Too much money might give me the willies about who was thinking of me at night.

Yeah, you hit a couple of points that I was going to bring up (having to constantly watch loved ones pass away, and I already have #5). I also already have #7, so I will keep it to two: The cash (untaxed, of course), and a private island.

Weird list. If you choose the $600 million, you can also have 3, 6, 7, and 8…and probably 5, as well! Hence, I’m going with that and perfect health. I’ll donate my third pick to someone else.

I’ll pick up that donation and take the luxury lifestyle. That will nicely stretch my $600 million. Thanks, Mark. Next time I see you, I’ll buy you a small black coffee to express my gratitude.

You made such a great point about ‘never aging’—outliving everyone and watching the world decline sounds way more like a Dorian Gray curse than a blessing! And you are so right about rental properties being endless headaches; one nightmare tenant ruins the whole deal.
