Master at Arms
Putting aside world peace and all that type of stuff.
Watching the Budzik videos, the man really is living what I consider the modeler's dream. He has time, talent and the very best of every piece of gear/tools you could ever dream of.
So, if you had unlimited funds, not Warren Buffett money, but enough that you and your offspring are guaranteed a comfortable existance, what would it be? I say not Buffett money because it seems when you get to the level you just get caught up in wanting more. So, enough money where you didn't have to work or manage your cash, didn't have to cook, clean or any other domestic chore unless you want to (I don't think I'd ever not want to cook, but the kitchen equipment would cost more than my current house).
For me, I'd seriously love to live on a bluff in Maine overlooking the North Atlantic with an incredible shop with every tool available. I would normally say on the Big Island of Hawaii, but I'd never want to be inside, so I'd reserve that for 3-4 months out of the year. Believe it or not, it would get boring day in day out, but with a shop in a beautiful locale but sketchy weather, I'd revel in the nice days and be at the bench on the bad ones.
I really can't think of a better day than spending a few hours creating something, followed by an evening with my wife and kids or close friends.
