Mine would totally be the opposite of where my life is now. I’d be thrilled to be play games, whereas I barely play one. I’d be watching lots of shows and movies, whereas now I don’t at all. Any idea I have about going to the gym or doing something active, I’d do it, whereas now I am idealistic about it.
Homestead, one income, family, wealth through hard assets. That should be everyone’s goal, but isn’t.
I could go into detail, but the broad strokes are a life where I don’t have to work and live alone, and have active relationships with people who aren’t my immediate family. Also Trumpism is either a distant memory or never happened to begin with.
I’d use the time for creative endeavors.
To crush my enemies, see them driven before me, and to hear the lamentation of their women.
It’d be me living off grid in a tiny home with my cat, growing food and making art.
Perfect for me would be a situation where I don’t have to go to work, and I could just walk down to the beach and lay in the sun and smoke weed everyday.
My life is basically perfect right now except for society in general. I pretty much do whatever I want, I’m self employed so I don’t get exploited at work, my wife is my soul mate and my kids are thriving.
10 years ago my life was absolute trash, recently divorced, living in a hella sketchy basement apartment, unemployed and addicted to drugs. Don’t give up, even if you think your life sucks you can still turn it around.
yep. making good choices over time reaps rewards.
society is weird. everyone i meet the past few years is totally utterly miserable, so i’d rather just chill at home or with my few friends who aren’t miserable. misery is a choice people make.
I think “perfect” anything is hard/impossible to properly think of, and the concept of a perfect life is, at the very least, extremely childish. “Good life” is understandable and achievable, and I guess it involves feeling like you belong, like your life has purpose, and being accompanied and cared for by those close to you, in whatever shape those things come?
Being free of the crushing grip of capitalism.
I want to work on the sea. I want to meet new people. I want to destroy the current status quo of the world.
The simple things in life really.
my life is pretty much perfect.
i just don’t have a wife or kids. that is all that is missing. but when i date my happiness with my life is a major turn off for most women I meet. Apparently I’m supposed to be miserable with my life because I’m not a billionaire or something.
My life is a happy one, in part, because of no wife or kids. I wake up on a Saturday in my quiet, clean house and it feels fantastic.
plenty of people wake up to clean quiet houses who have kids.
The irony is, the more you accept there’s no such thing, the closer you’ll get to it.
4 hours of work 5 days a week. 5 weeks off per year.
Enough money to not worry about money.
A short run in the morning, short weightlifting after work, yoga in the evening. Two non consecutive rest days with just stretching and walking. To feel good enough to do that so I can keep feeling good enough to do that.
Going out on one weekend night to do something, staying in the other nights.
Pet cats, and maybe one dog.
Traveling somewhere every year.
And having enough money also to get the house in the shape we want.
Basically I want a well funded partial retirement.
My life now but just enough more money to feel secure and also I’d be a girl
It’s the little details that make a difference.
you won’t ever feel secure with more money.
you will adjust and then think ‘oh but just a little bit more would be perfect’
I couldn’t even picture what perfect would be like? I guess having infinite wishes like some sort of goated genie? I think whatever I would say is the “perfect” life today, might not be the case tomorrow, so I guess the ability to always live my perfect life would be a perfect life.
Obviously that is hypothetical and not actually realistic. However, right now, I’d love to be no longer lonely, have plenty of great friendships, be comfortable financially, check off some bucket list items, have a gf, be able to live a simple life and e.g. go smoke weed in nature whenever I feel like it (just an example of having freedom, and free time). However, non of those seem attainable rn. And it must be next to impossible to have all those things - people in that situation must be pretty damn lucky.
That’s the trick. Humans normalize anything and we seek novelty so the perfect life has to take in changes.
Yeah exactly. Plus we’d have to start small with our wishes else the world would become boring fast.
