I would do what I once did. Just stay at home playing my boardgames, and keeping house for my wife. Go out for walks when I had to. A bit of writing too.

I'd set up an international rally racing team, and would eventually try to run the Dakar rally on the Russian KAMAZ truck team.

In this scenario would I have unlimited money? If not, I would get a job and make money. It's much better to have a job and therefore an income than to sit around and do nothing all day with no money.

If I did have unlimited money, I would set up huge fish tanks and invent some system that would make water changes easier in them (like an automatic draining/filling system), and I would get more snakes.

Eh. Enough money, I'd assume. Not infinite though. Like, not enough to buy the British Isles and pave them over.

I don't think it's that we don't have any ambitions. At least in my case, I am just tired and would like a nice long break. It's hard to think of some big ambition that I would pursue if it weren't for work, because, well, I just need a break, and a break to me means doing nothing too stressful, and just living a good life.

Or they're too big to be realised.

"doing nothing too stressful" and "living a good life" are not the same thing. Living a good life does not necessarily mean that you will not encounter a high stress situation.

IF not having to work means having plenty of money so that I don't have to work I'd have a piece of wilderness land about the size of a small county in the mountains and live there. Just me and my dog. Probly a few horses, too. Wouldn't see me around town much at all.
The sign at the start of my very long driveway would say, "Trespassers will be shot. Surviviors will be shot again".

well it is obvious that we would do different things if we did not work, and it is also apparent that we have different ideal good lives.
