> none of us would ever consider opening a Laundromat or a stationery store
I've actually fantasized numerous times about selling it all and buying a laundromat or two. The dream was all around the "virtually passive income" fantasy. The guy who owns the laundromat I use stops in a few times a week, and counts his money.
That isn't to say it isn't completely free, he's got issues with local homeless people (one guy lit a fire in one of the driers and turned it on), he's got ongoing maintenance. But for the most part he isn't around. People come to his place, drop off money and leave.
I could imagine having a job where you spend a couple hours a day or maybe a day or two a week, then spend the rest of your time pursuing hobbies and hanging out with family and friends. Or volunteering & playing with fancy technology.
