Fill in the blank: If I was wealthy ...

Pay the house off, set up some good investment accounts for the kids and my nephews, get a knee replacement, and retire.

Then basically start my year steelhead fishing, then head to New Zealand for a few months, back to Idaho for spring bear, up to AK for salmon, stick around for sheep/goat, then moose and caribou, back to Wyoming for elk and antelope season (there’s neither here in ID), then Iowa for whitetail, back home to start steelhead season again. Lather, rinse, repeat.

And pay a tutor to come along so my kids can travel with and do the same. Math lessons at 10,000 feet sounds about right.

If I'd have ever thought we would homeschool our kids. I'd of went a different direction entirely in my career. (Of course I've been doing this since before i got out of HS and didn't have kids til after 30). Nonetheless I cant help but think there is a massive oppurtunity for me to capitalize on with them. I just haven't figured out the how yet. I have a buddy who homeschools his four kids. He works remote but travels part time or can at his schedule. He's taking a short term gig with housing paid in Hawaii for 18 months. They're all going. Pretty frigging cool you ask me.

I’ve had the same thought. My wife could easily take travel positions, my new job could easily be remote. Just take the fam and go seems kinda tempting.
 
If we’re talking stupid money - I hate seeing subdivisions pop up where a farm used to be, I’d probably waste a lot of money tying up land from damn developers and more with lawyers to make sure it stayed that way.

Don't even need to travel. Just be able to spend that much time with them period. They get they're school done before most people even have their day started. Thats a lot of hunting and fishing or hell just living.
 
It would involve a cabin on the banks of my own private spring creek where I could sit on the porch and sip coffee and watch the trout rise. No neighbors within a mile.
There’d muleys and elk coming and going out of the breaks to the alfalfa fields and whitetail in the cottonwoods. Some pheasants and Hungarian partridge and sharptails along the edge of the wheat fields and in the creek brush.

There’d be at least one week per hunting season reserved for the the current HT crew that I hunt with and multiple other weeks reserved for taking veterans on hunts they might not be able to do without help.

Check off a bunch of bucket list hunts and travel.

Make sure my kids have a good start for owning their own home.

Do some humanitarian work along the way.
 
I'd tell you guys that 2 chicks are fun, but overrated, but then you'd want details and pictures and that ain't happening! 😉
