Acres and acres of land would be mighty appealing. Like a 5,000 sq mile ranch or maybe even 10,000. Nice modern log home with a ridiculously huge heart in the middle, exposed beams, great kitchen and living room, observatory.

I’ve always wanted to start up my own private no-kill animal shelter. Of course I would need a bigger property and lots of money for food and vet visits etc. If I’m rich enough when I’m older I just might do this.

A nice big house with lots of cats, surrounded by trees on at least 20 acres with seperate rooms for hobby stuff, computer room, a walk in closet for me, swimming pool, big kitchen, a wing for when my family visits , a seperate room for tv and movie watching would be nice as well.

I get two bedrooms with nice bathrooms with a tub and shower, but one room has a huge bed with its bathroom and closet; NO electronics, no clock, no window, no noise, no distractions. 🆒🆒😃 Just me, a boyfriend and a bedroom. Whee.

I’ve resisted as long as I can.

The very moment I saw this thread I instantly thought of that guy in **Kelly’s Heroes** who said he was going to buy a ranch and get “Ten…Twenty…Thirty five **Women** and _let it go!_”

Of course a more recent example would be [Lord Bath](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexander_Thynne), who has some 90 “wifelets”.

Cleaning supplies.

It is a comforting feeling to have unlimited acess to a bottle of something that is exactly right for removing an oil stain. And another bottle perfect to remove blood or make-up stains. Or having the exact type brush to ruffle up suede leather. Or an endless supply of nice clean cleaning cloths. A steam cleaner. A pressure washer.  
Dirt and decay would never treaten me again!

Oh, and books, and clothes. And a garden full of edible plants, herbs and fruits.
