This sort of depends on whether I had the "money problem" solved or not.

Assuming I magically had enough saved to pay for all my family's housing and food and assorted expenses with passive income, then I would probably work on the following:

- Several book projects that are in the pipeline, one near completion

- Podcast production projects, maybe a business like Dan Benjamin's 5x5

- Work with homeschool groups to teach classes on electronics

- Possibly run a small maker space

- Maybe go back to school (at nearly 50) and study some things I'm interested in: architecture, some upper-level mathematics?

- Teach again at a university level (with guaranteed income, I could afford to be an adjunct and teach programming)
