    Virtual Vacations. You done a camera and record yourself on vacation. Then someone rents or buys your vacation experience. That way you make money while always on vacation.

      Isn’t this what YouTube is for? Like I am never going on a $20,000 flight. But it’s nice to see that it is a complete waste of money that I don’t need to spend.

      So take the time off but don’t actually go on vacation while someone pays you less for the thing you already paid for?

      Pretty sure it would just be way cheaper to just take time off without going anywhere, if that’s your goal

      I am going try this sort of. Starting a hiking YouTube channel. My dream is to do hiking tours during the day, and be inspired to write at night. If I didn’t have all my cats, and kids I seriously consider the vanlife.

        Or a more sinister monkey paw: OP finds a job they actually LOVE doing. Incredibly rewarding, engaging, great pay, benefits, supportive bosses, delightful coworkers, the works. Suddenly tragedy strikes and they are disabled, unable to work any job. They struggle to survive off disability, every day reminded of what they once had.

        You know, the American dream reality.
