Ask HN: What would make you happy?

I would be able to retire in 3-4 years. (Would need a huge windfall somehow)

I would spend most of my years 30-50 playing an outdoor sport that I really enjoy but don't have much time for it now.

I would compete in said sport and try to go as far as I could go.

I'd do that, travel, and still work on interesting tech projects... Grow old until my body gives out and decide what to do then. Maybe switch sports, maybe focus more on sedentary activities, not sure!

Be out of debt.

Debt is just ever present crushing infection on your life. Other than persistent health problems, i expect that is the worse thing that happens to people.

I will never be out of debt, i have no hope for that. I just know that inflation and age will make that debt worse until i am homeless. That is my future.

Overcoming my mental health struggles. I actually make enough money to sustain myself but my stress comes from other things that I can't control. If I could just wake up one morning looking forward to the day instead of dreading it, I'll consider it a win.

Money.

Hopelessly lost.

Working on FOSS full time would be pretty nice.
