Which would you prefer:

Where is the money coming from that I get to do "nothing"? Are we talking magic thin air or taxes or something?

I'd take $30k a year to do nothing. I hate working I want to sit on my boat and fish all day and take naps and drink whiskey. I can live just fine on $30k a year. It won't be living a la vida loca but I'd rather live simple and not have to work than live la vida loca and have to get up and work 12 hours a day like I do now.

That's if this money was actually my money though. Like if my father hit the powerball and said here I'll give you $30k a year for life. Now if this money comes from other peoples pockets then no I would rather work 60 hours a week and earn my own money than get paid $30k per year out of everyone elses pockets.

 

lol maybe that's why I don't get sick too often....The copious amounts of whiskey in my system is raging nuclear war against any and all viruses that come my way haha.

A lot of people think it's weird that I drink straight whiskey. No ice, no water in it, and for the love of God don't ruin it with a damn soda for me. Just a glass and the whiskey. Neat (warm and no ice), ice screws up the flavor.

I guess I just got used to it. I'm the same way with mixed drinks as you are with straight whiskey. Went to the bar the other night and ordered whiskey and the bartender just assumed I wanted a whiskey and coke because everybody drinks that nasty garbage. I sat there for like 30 mins trying to down that thing. Meanwhile the folks next to me were sitting there sucking down their whiskey and cokes like water. Guy next to me had like 4 of those things before I could even get halfway done with mine. He looked at me and laughed and asked if I needed a baby bottle for my drink. Then I ordered a Jameson neat and sucked it down and he looked at me like how in the hell.....How can you just suck down straight whiskey but not a whiskey and coke? Because mixed drinks are disgusting lol. I'd rather just not drink than drink a mixed drink.

But yeah, give me enough money to keep my little bass boat, maintain my truck to get it to the lake, and buy a bottle of Jameson every few days and I'll be perfectly content. I think I can manage that on $30k a year. I'm a simple man, I don't need a lot in life to make me happy. Some people want fancy cars and huge houses and to travel the world and all that. Not me, just give me a boat and a bottle of whiskey and let me go fishing.

If somebody came up to me and said we will guarantee you that you will receive $30k per year adjusted for inflation every single year until the day you die then I'd walk in to work tomorrow and quit if I didn't have a contract lol. I'll get a job blowing up balloons at a beach resort or something if I need some extra cash lol. The only reason I work now is because when I retire I'll get a pension to be able to do exactly what I've been talking about with roughly the amount of "free" money that Troi was talking about.

If I could start that right now I'd be out of here lol.
