A beach house with wine for the wife and whiskey for me

But I doubt I will ever truly retire. I just don't have it in me to be bored like that. If money were no option, I'd probably still try to start a new business to keep busy. So I might not work for others but I'll still be doing something.

Maybe I'll buy TSL. Seems like an easy low maintenance business to own.
