I might be able to stop working, but it would require using up all our savings and probably liquidating my trading account. The life insurance I have now would take care of my family after I checked out. But my wife would probably still have to work while I was alive so we wouldn't be able to just take off and do what we wanted.
I'd just spend as much time with my family as I could. I'd be a stay at home daddy for my little girl, and do some traveling when we're able to. I don't have a specific list of things to do or see. Probably stay mostly in the US, go visit national parks and stuff like that.
I feel for people who work paycheck to paycheck and get this news, and have to keep working. Gosh now I'm depressed.
And to add: time with my little girl would be paramount. I'd make videos too, lots of videos where I talk to her and tell her who I am and the things she needs to know to have a good life. Her mother could give them to her when she's older.
My intention wasn't do depress anyone, but provoke thought about how people are living today vs how they would live tomorrow after receiving some kind of life changing news.
While it's true that people living paycheck to paycheck have a more difficult time, I think it would be better to focus on how you are living today (what your choices are today) vs what you would change in the wake of this news.
So your day-to-day life would change how, no work? But also no travel or no "bucket list" pursuits? Or perhaps the only thing on your bucket list is to die in a hammock
Why sell the house if you aren't going to spend some money
I already quit the 9 to 5 slavery and have been checking off the items on my bucket list for the last two years, having retired at 35.
Retiring in your 30s isn't what it's cracked up to be.
I explored hedonism for a while... and came to the conclusion (not just intellectually but at the deep gut level) that the only life worth living is a life of meaning.
Actually, I might check myself into a Buddhist monastery for the last two years of my life. I did that before and those were some of the happiest times I have known.
You are never in the wrong place... but sometimes you are in the right place looking at things in the wrong way.
