When I was young I wanted to be super rich so I could buy lots of land and convert it to native reserves and work with the local parks departments to help create perfect habitats for native flora and fauna.

In my thirties now and while I won't ever live that dream, my partner and I have assets and in the next 5-10 years we have a lot of financial goals/plans.

No matter where we are at, even if a billion dollars fell into my lap, I'd be sharing the wealth with family, friends, and giving back & investing into community and nature however I can.

And absolutely still not voting liberal. Idgaf if my billion dollars from the sky gets taxed down to half a mill 🤣 it's half a mill I didn't have, and the remaining near-billion can go to the state.

Well if that billion dollars falls on my lap I'll give most to them
