I would do more woodwork and get some actual projects done. I would also spend more time cooking and practicing.
I would volunteer more, things like soup kitchens and furniture restorations for the less fortunate. I would also (hope to) kick my gaming habit since I would have the energy to do something more physically intensive .
If I was free to do anything legal with enough money to maintain my current middle class lifestyle, then I would spend a lot of my time visiting cool places and photgraphing them.
I am no millionaire, not even in SEK, but make a good living, if I could keep my current pay and just do whatever, I would be travelling throughout Sweden and the rest of Europe looking for cool places, like abandoned industries, old/abandoned military infrastructure, old/abandoned civil infrastructure, cool modern places with infrastructure.
I'd probably save up to get a smaller crossover SUV, I love my 2021 Seat Leon, but it isn't brilliant at going over overgrown tracks.
Work for my retirement because you forgot that :P
I would travel a bit and concentrate more on farming. I do enjoy my software engineering job and was writing code as a hobby long before it paid the bills so I'd want to keep up something like that.
First, I would move into my own place so I don't have to deal with the constant stress of conforming to the expectations of my bigoted family members. Then, for a while, I would probably do nothing. I'm burnt out and have a lifetime of shit to process and heal from. I need time to pick up all the parts of myself that the world has forced me to throw away.
Eventually, when I've gotten a little better, I'll probably start wanting to accomplish things again. Nothing so ambitious as the dreams I used to have, but they were probably unrealistic anyway. And with my basic needs covered, I would be free to do what I find important and fulfilling instead of spending all my time making line go up for some asshole billionaire.
I've always wanted to write stories. I used to draw and paint, a long time ago before the depression got really bad. I'm starting to learn 3D modeling and gamedev, and it would be nice to do that just because I want to, not because I'm unable to work a regular job and am flailing for a way to pay the bills.
Maybe I would just organize get-togethers with my friends where we play tabletop games and eat food I cooked for them using produce from a little garden I made.
There's no shortage of things to do if I'm free to pursue them.
I would put all my focus in making my games finally, instead of just some evenings
If it's free, I'd get something large as housing. A proper mansion in the middle of the city. And then have a café and community area on the ground floor. Also a workshop/lab like a hackerspace. Then I need one bedroom and all the other rooms get converted into escape rooms. I'd spend the time building them and spend time with people and build silly things. Optional: a bed and breakfast and rehersal rooms. I think maintaining that and baking for the cafe will be a full-time job.
I'd build puppets and make videos. Just for fun.
Is make fine furniture and finish writing that video game I started about 8 years ago.
