Honestly, watch the kids all damn day. Maybe enroll in a couple classes or hack on a couple things here and there.

Now, if I 'won the lottery', I'd have more resources and hire a nanny, giving me more time to take classes, hack on things, and do expensive stuff like build racecars.

> build race cars

I have often joked to my wife that my software career only fuels (no pun intended) my project car habit.

I'm running into the issue of not having won the lottery when I think about the things I'd like to do and the cost of doing them.
