I imagine having all the money in the world just so I can live a vagabond lifestyle. Any substantial monetary wealth made in my lifetime will likely be donated to charity (after my student loans are paid :P) &#8211; I am happy with my little apartment and -what those on a high horse would call- &#8216;meager&#8217; surroundings.<\/p>\n<p>Second, my raison d&#8217;\u00eatre (that&#8217;s French for &#8220;reason to be&#8221;) is to help others in whatever manner they require of me (within reason and sanity of course). Money does nothing for a poor man&#8217;s future. I want to teach people who to fish, not just buy them a single meal. So let me explore the world as a curious soul held together by a human physique and send back the books and tales of my adventures to those too afraid to let go of status and wealth, even when such things relinquished them long ago.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;You do not have a soul.
