Buy a nice home, upgrade it to my liking (CAT6 to all parts of it, solar panels/energy storage/network cabinet/make it watertight and safe for the next 50 years), buy a shitty looking van with a petrol powered pressure washer and indemnity insurance and spend my spare time going around cleaning paths and monuments etc. in my local area.

I ran cat 6 through the house we moved into over winter. The box, the guys running the cable and patching the walls after was like $1,200....not exactly fuck you money and absolutely worth it.

Ran it to the office, basement TV and office, family room, kids rooms and wife office.

If you want to do it, it might be worth exploring rather than waiting to hit the lottery.

A 1000' box of cat6 was is I think $150 or so. A couple of those and a couple weekends of your time = profit. Plus it frees up your wifi for phones/tablets/laptops/etc.

This is the best plan I've seen yet.
