Well, money, because I'm taking a 40% paycut and I can only hope I'll have enough.

Spiritual commune? What do you have in mind?

Sex Cult! ftw!!!

There already is one, and they are called the Raelians, based out of Toronto, Chicago, and NY.

As for me, right now, finishing college, finding someone to have a mutual relationship with, and of course money.

I would say money...but everyone always said it works against you...so overall, I'm pretty happy.

I hate to say this but money would make me really happy at this point, just because of what/why i want it.

Winning the Lotto for sure. 200 million would be great.

I would just like to stay busy doing things I enjoy and not being tied down at work. Not having to work and having millions of dollars would not really make me happy unless I had people I enjoyed being around and things I loved to do. I think i'd honestly rather have just enough money to do the things I enjoy, but not enough to where I could do them ALL the time and get bored with them.

People will always want more, and need to be challenged, it is human nature. Having enough money to do whatever you want will take all the fun out of life.

no poll?

to be able to live life w/o obligations (bills, work, etc) would make me happy :)

Lost in direction and a lack of motivator. It's one of those things where I know I need to change but don't really know how I'm going to go about it yet.

But for now, a beer and a bowl of noodle soup and getting back on track with my exercise routine would make me happy. If a car hit me tomorrow and took me away I'd be MUCH happier.

that last line was unexpected

so, i have thought about this while reading all the other posts and i have come up with 1 thing to get them all :p

I would like to see the future. If i could see the future i could gamble 100% correctly a few times a year or something and make mad cash on the big games. This money would get you the women you would ever want (assuming you are single and just want sex). That would eventually get your a beautiful loving wife and then a family. On the other side, because you know the future, you would always be more intelligent than the next guy. I also wouldn't be clumsy and break every damn wine glass i bought 6 months ago! :)

although money itself would not make me happy, the things that it would allow me to do would.. i could spend more time with my wife and kids.. i could travel.. i could decide when i wanted to work, or work for myself.. i could pay my bills.. i could buy a nice house.. i could buy a private jet... so no, money would not make me happy, but it would definately allow me to do things that make me happy... with more money comes complete freedom to do whatever the hell you want

well if I win the lotto...that would lead to more sex since the ladies like the finer things in life so overall that would give me the feel of power as I could pick and chose....so all of the above
