Realistically irresponsible or insanely irresponsible?

Realistically irresponsible: I'd buy a huge piece of land out in the woods. Build a house, add a 1 acre pond with an island in the middle where I could go and sit and read.

Insanely irresponsible: I've often wondered how much it would cost to live full time at Disney World. Full deal, Park passes, meal plan, etc.

Understanding that they'd make you change rooms every month to avoid letting you have tenant rights. That's assuming the lottery winnings aren't enough to just buy enough stock to control the company.

I'd strongly recommend you change the pond to a river. Just cleaner, especially if you buy all the way upstream too.

I've also wondered how much it would cost to live fulltime in my worst nightmare's version of hell.

You would read up until the mosquitos and spiders came at you from that swamp. Then the frogs would start their croaking and splashing. Followed by the chorus of crickets and cicadas. And more likely some dick blue Jay would show up and yell at you for no good fucking reason, with its ugly ass noise it makes, like can you even call that a bird call?

Well, the mosquitos aren't that big a deal. The fish and the frogs take care of them. I don't mind the noise of the frogs, crickets, or cicadas. Their sounds are nowhere near as bad as the noise people make.

I already make ponds on the property I have. I just dream of a larger one.
