What is your dream in life?

Fine_Analyst_4408@reddit

Own an animal sanctuary for abandoned animals of all kinds and homing unreleasable wildlife. Enough staff to ensure top animal welfare regardless of the number of animals taken in. Not likely to ever happen, sadly!

[-]

seeksadvic3@reddit

Ah but you eat meat. So you can't be that bothered about animal welfare...

[-]

Fine_Analyst_4408@reddit

Seems like you're a bit of a jerk. Tut tut.

[-]

vegan_voorhees@reddit

It can! I volunteer at a tiny charity owned by an old lady who's done just this for at least 25 years.

It's literally some sheds in her (fairly expansive) garden, with a donkey, pony, chickens, cats, guinea pigs, tortoises, and a talking parrot.

Morazma@reddit

Add a vegan café to it and I'll visit every week!

Omg, this would be downvoted to oblivion if you swapped the genders lol

It won’t be. In fact the post with flipped genders as of now has more upvotes than this one.

luciferslandlord@reddit

Not true

It was. lol.

niki723@reddit

I'd love to create a little village somewhere warm, near a beach, so all my friends can visit and stay as long as they like. We'd have a few rescue dogs, a bunch of chickens, maybe some goats.

[-]

MD564@reddit

When I am done being social, a lot of dogs. My best friend lives with me. We have a pool. The weather is hot. I have fruit trees in the garden.

[-]

phantom_phreak29@reddit

To crush my enemies, see them driven before me and to hear the lamentations of their women

InternationalSun2342@reddit

Live in a shed/caravan/campervan. Small, no stuff, no housework!

[-]

liluniqueme@reddit

To not be in pain every damn day. To not have to work 2 jobs just to survive. To get my mental health in check.

Never going to happen but I can dream.

[-]

Flicker-form-5192@reddit

Respect. That's it. I just feel apathetic about everything else at this point. Nothing matters if that's not the baseline.

[-]

inevitablelizard@reddit

I want to pursue heritage fruit as a hobby in some way, growing historically interesting or rare varieties of apples, pears, etc. So I can have a collection of richly flavoured apples for myself rather than the very hit and miss supermarket apples, and do my bit to conserve some rare varieties. Perhaps even with experiments in breeding new varieties from stuff which hasn't been bred from much.

The issue is it needs space I don't have, and don't know if I'll be able to afford.

[-]

WitShortage@reddit

I would like a world where people solved their own problems rather than instantly handing them off to me. I'd like to not have to worry about money. And I'd like to spend my days building a model railway.

[-]

Unable-Object-8469@reddit

My dream is to own a small home for me and my daughter, somewhere safe and peaceful, with a little garden where we can grow herbs and flowers, so no one can ever kick us out and we never have to face homelessness again. And honestly, I’d love to retire one day in a warm country too.

[-]

PM_ME_VAPORWAVE@reddit

Not being here

[-]

Upbeat-Fish-3348@reddit

My unrealistic dream would be to get married, have 5 kids and be able to give them the childhood I never had with holidays abroad, a big house, nice cars, meals in fancy restaurants etc.

More realistically I'd like to semi-retire to Thailand on my own and have a few rental properties back in the UK for passive income and live in a beach-side bungalow.

[-]

Filthy_Oily_Fanny@reddit

I’ve semi retired to Thailand. Got my Non O retirement visa in November.

I’ll go back to the UK in June for three months. Work two of those and that funds my entire year.

[-]

jooniejoon3@reddit

Run a tea/ coffee shop, florist and library. Three separate places all linked by doors. I would also grow my own flowers and teas, and source my own books.

[-]

Could I use your delightful places of business as a base for my detective agency please?

Have a child. We've been trying for a while with no luck.

[-]

Total_Aerie_3778@reddit

Buy a flat/house to call my own, bake in the kitchen and have a full time secure job that I’m good at.

Unrealistically, live in a castle with cats (yes, that’s Enya’s dream).

Mine too. Living in a castle with cats?! How cool is that?!

Own cars that are on my bucket list, buy a nice house with my gf and to feel financially comfortable.

[-]

charlytune@reddit

An island with not too hot and not too English weather, cut off from the mainland (where all my favourite people live) by a drawbridge only I control. Lots of cats (that magically shit and piss elsewhere) and a couple of goats (same), a well stocked library, a well stocked bar, a well stocked kitchen, hammocks and armchairs and a firepit, a small forest with treehouses, and peace and quiet. With the occasional party when I pull up the drawbridge to allow my friends and favourite DJs in.

Me: menopausal GenXer.

[-]

Historical_Project86@reddit

That would be too hot for me, but similarly I'd like to find a quiet life in a warm country.

[-]

Unusual_Sherbert2671@reddit

Wealthy enough so my family, close friends don't need to work and then spend our time doing what we want, or even just sitting at home relaxing doing nothing

[-]

fivebyfive12@reddit

My attainable (someday) dream is to basically live as I do now (nice house, close to family, kid is thriving) but be able to afford to volunteer instead of work. I'd help at animal shelters and get involved in projects for the community etc.

My wild dream comes from growing up on scooby doo, animal ark and later, the X files and basically far too much detective related fiction. I'd be a PI solving local mysteries and every now and then I'd stumble onto something big...

[-]

Joshouken@reddit

Cute house in the foothills of the French Alps for me to luxuriate in. Lots of cycling and cheese. Cosy ski chalet up in the mountains for endless skiing. Three children travelling the globe for me to live vicariously through. Relieved from the stress of too many years of corporate politics.

[-]

CoffeeeGoblin@reddit

To be financially comfortable, own my home and not live life in constant fear of being penniless and homeless.

[-]

Necessary_Tour_5222@reddit

To build a 20,000 sqft home in Greece on 150 acres on the sea with orange, lemon, pomegranate, almond and avocado trees and flowers everywhere.

[-]

IamlostlikeZoroIs@reddit

Be rich enough to not have to worry about money so I can do the things in life I actually want to do rather than being a cog in the corporation machine.

[-]

carefreedirk@reddit

And achieve that so I’m young enough to enjoy it 🤞

Move somewhere where the weather is good

Not like UK where it’s depressing grey sky and cold constantly.

I’d like to shape-shift into different types of animals and read minds

[-]

LumpyCheeseyCustard@reddit

I'm a helper, its what makes me happy.

Help humans: Soup kitchen, cooking classes for anyone struggling to make ends meet where I provide all the ingredients so no money has to be spent by the underprivileged - we cook together, they learn and they can take the food home and share with their family. I'm a teacher so I'd love to help get everyone competent in their basics - reading, writing, maths. I'd also love to open a school for people of all ages from poorer backgrounds in poorer parts of the world to gain essential skills.

Help animals: I love cats. I dont despise other animals including dogs despite being attacked by 2 on 2 separate occasions. But I'd love to have a rescue and low cost vets so that no animal is left abandoned. People can get the help they need for their pets without worrying about costs. It wont be free, but it wont be extortionate either.

For me - I want a nice house - organised, colourful, comfortable for me, OH, kids and cats and any other pets my family wants. A big garden for growing my own fruit/veg too.

NoCold3997@reddit

wringtonpete@reddit

To run a children's home in the Scilly Isles, teach the kids to swim and sail and be happy and confident.

When a new kid arrives and after they've settled in ok, during a dinner I ask them to pass me a book from the bookshelf and when they do, an old pirate treasure map falls out! We close the curtains, sing sea shanties with pewter tankards overflowing with ribena, and tell the new kid we're actually ... pirates!

Next day we all sail off to the deserted island, dressed as pirates naturally, to look for the treasure (which we've secretly brought with us, hidden from the new kid). If the Scillonian ferry passes by we raise the jolly roger and shout and wave our cutlasses at the landlubbers.

When we land we split into two groups to search for the treasure, and the group without the new kid buries the treasure without them noticing. Eventually we find the location. It's always the new kid who actually finds it, funnily enough. It's full of chocolate coins and other ephemera like an old compass, binoculars, tiara etc.

On returning home we have a pirate feast, naturally, during which we each reveal our secret pirate names. The new kid chooses their own secret pirate name, plus they get to choose one of the items in the treasure chest to keep forever.

Huzzah!

Not that I've actually thought about it much...

[-]

Champagne_Bunnny@reddit

I just want to live somewhere warm, near an ocean, not have to worry about bills and debt collectors and have enough to eat. I wanna just look after my dog, make art and then hopefully when I have zero stress, I won't get ill all the time. But until then, it'd have to be somewhere with good affordable healthcare.

_Nefarium@reddit

Little house somewhere with a drive/garage/land large enough for me to tinker with my latest rustbucket. A job I enjoy that doesn't leave me too stressed, and leaves me with enough expendable income to fund said tinkering, and good friends to share my time with.

Friends - tick! And as far as I'm concerned that's the most important one done.

Just the house and job part.. I'm on track, just need to keep going, only 21 so I've got plenty of time to work that wheel.
