Remember when the lottery was up to just under a billion dollars? My buddy Jed's plan (upon winning) would be to open a jazz club in every state and put 50 bands together that would each do a week's residency in each club, couple weeks off every year...till the money ran out of course.
Doesn't take a million. Just takes another income that can pay all the bills and allow us to go out to eat a few times a week . And vacation once or twice a year. Well for me, anyhow.
My retirement income (savings plus SS) is sufficient to maintain a comfortable lifestyle, BUT not enough to open and run a club.
I’ve thought about something like this occasionally. My venue would encompass all my hobbies and interests. It would have a small bar with craft beers, killer coffee and a small menu of simple, but good food. A killer stereo system based on vinyl, vacuum tubes and horn speakers. One or two good pool tables and a dart board. Something for the bicycle lovers. And of course live jazz on the weekends.

While there may be better use for that money--there is a certain appeal to doing something like that.
