One daydream I've had since I was 12 was buying the Blue Bell factory building in Tupelo and making the coolest loft apartment/personal amusement park ever. To this day I drive past it every few weeks and keep the dream alive.

I need approximately $70k to get out of debt (incl. student loans), I think. It might be $60k. I don't need anything after that because I've never had a huge problem figuring things out and being quite fine up until I suddenly had to pay for flipping school.

To be happy and secure and debt-free - maybe $350-400k? Just enough to buy a small older building in a medium-sized city and renovate it into a snazzy live/work space for myself, pay for four years of art school or college and have a little cushion in case anything went wrong.

I could spend and give away an inordinate amount of money if I hit the lotto.

I don't think it would matter how much money i had, i don't think I'd have it for very long.

In London, idk, probably at least twice as much as i currently earn. I'd get by fine elsewhere on £30k - £35k.
