What do you do for fun? What is your hobby?
I've bought loads of stuff that I like through the years, that usually, give it some time, will have problems... and I (try to) fix them when it's possible, pretty much it.
Sometimes just fixes, other times crazy mods/upgrades. That's how I don't get bored.
I tend to buy things that could last forever with some maintenance here and there, if I like them.
Anything trashy like recent cars or flats that I might need for some time, I'll lease/rent it. Not convenient I know but I don't want to own/repair shit
😛
I live my life by projects pretty much. Car projects, bike projects, house projects, gardens, hi-fi audio, etc etc
Once you have multiple properties with loads of land, too many cars and motorcycles and bikes and loads of IT stuff you'll never retire completely.
🤣
It applies to gardens, lawns, fish ponds, pools, houses, cars, bikes etc
I don't like easy hobbies.
I find that getting my hands dirty on mechanical stuff relaxes my mind and kind of grounds me when I am exhausted from IT/business.
maybe because it was my passion when I was a kid.
I have enough experience that can do mechanical repairs at least on par if not better then my old local porsche dealer.
A college friend's dad had a porsche/bmw shop and that how it started. Spent so much time there.
Got so many tools that could easily turn it into a business, but the fun would end.
I prefer to keep business and fun separate.
Then when you need special tools to do a job, you don't buy the "very limited special tools", you build them! it never ends, it goes full circle
🤣
But once you are at this level it gives you the freedom of living in the middle of nowhere (up to a point), if you want.
It's like entrepreneurship when you do something nobody has done before (or everyone tell you it's impossible) and it works... same feeling.
love steel, can weld etc but I hate body repairs, and wood working and concrete/plaster etc
Could develop complex mechanical/metal things with tight tolerances, but if you put me in front of a dented body panel or a wood working project, my body/brain refuses it.
I am not into that kind of creativity and don't have that kind of patience. I use my creativity in my IT/online businesses.
I like to design/project/create custom things too, but when it's wood/concrete/body repairs I always pay experts that can to that to top notch level.
Hope 3d printing will fix this in future, we're not that far

One could say that i am enslaved by things...
In my book it's ok as long as I enjoy it, it's much better than being enslaved by other people
🙂
Always hated to live in cities unless it's a first line sea view penthouse (and must be a very clean sea and beach). But I get bored there, it's just for short term... I need land, space, and away from complaining neighbors.
