Townhouse in DC, and I have been remodeling it for the last 8 years, slowly, but everything turning the way I wanted. Married to the love of my life for 25+ years. Kids are in great top schools. My french bulldog is adorable and loves traveling with us. I am taking solo trips without family every single year. I work in the field that I love. I am an immigrant and I love the US. |
In my fantasy life, I am a kindly healthy and friendly nun in an intellectual and artistic religious community. The wider religion allows for married, female and gay priests and this order is open to any one who wants to live a simple, compassionate and loving life of service. We make sufficient funds to cover our living expenses by writing best seller books under pseudonyms, selling our art, performing concerts but not in our habits as perverts ruin the joy, making award winning apple ciders and boutique gins and managing community gardens for busy people. A few founding members were hedge fund billionaires who wanted to atone for their sins and bought idyllic retreats for the order in beautiful mountain settings on every continent apart from Antarctica. They set up wise investments that cover upkeep for the order’s properties and simple facilities. Members are able to cover everyday living expenses through simple means. We are required to do one month community service around the world each year wherever we are wanted - helping start new schools in Africa or replanting forests in the Amazon or performing in refugee camps or creating healthy food sources in food deserts. Ordination in this order requires a philosophy degree on top of whatever other degree people have, and certification in a trade or art form. Members are disciplined but sharp, loving and creative. |
Lol lol 😂 I love this one!!! |
| I couldn’t handle being Taylor Swift for life, but I sometimes fantasize about being her for a day. Everything I tried would be successful beyond belief, everyone would adore me, I would always look effortlessly beautiful. Just for a day. Then the hard parts would kick in and I would go back to being normal. |

| My current life with more money. |
| Lots more money, lots more time. |
| It’s all about money, I admit. I live in a beautiful old home outside of Boston in Brookline or chestnut hill. We have a summer house on Nantucket or in watch hill, Rhode Island. I have 5 kids (but we have lots of money and help) and my spouse and I are both from a big family so we are always traveling or having family visit. I practice yoga and play tennis and take art and language classes and help manage the family business …..we have lots of friends and lots of time to enjoy each other. But more important than all of the money - we are all healthy. Physically and mentally. We still have our parents and they are healthy. No family drama. No skeletons in our closets. |
| What is killing me about all these fantasies is how oddly specific they are. All the little details like we have all been thinking hard about this. |
maybe the question just captured our imaginations. I am pretty sure I could up with wildly different scenarios most days - life is too short to live out all these fantasies - but we can dream right? |
I am poor and live alone. Sometimes I am tired of reading library books after work, and sit fantasizing about what I'd do if everything were different (an obscure relative I didn't know leaves me millions, and it goes from there). |
No, I have been thinking about mine and refining the details for some time, lol. When the lottery hits $1 billion I buy a ticket (I’ve bought two now) and these details are what I think about until the numbers are drawn. I will be well prepared when the time comes, LOLOL! |
I love how there are some other people whose fantasy details overlap with mine. I appreciate all the other people who want to be humanitarian goddesses too. Thanks OP for starting the thread; it’s fun to follow! |

^^ ITA
I love that OP started this thread, and that others have secret fantasy lives like I do. |
|
Wow I'm blown away, too, by the details of some of these. I love them all and now have enough fantasies for 10 lifetimes.
Thanks for starting this thread, OP. |
