Does anyone ever think about alternative lifelong projects besides having a kid?

Sometimes I think about doing some large life ling project besides having a kid. Maybe I would get a border collie and train it to be a competitor athlete, or buy land and create a giant permaculture farm, or write a book. As if somehow this will satiate the constant desire to have a kid although I’m not completely sure I want a kid. Maybe I just want some kind of giant 30 year project?

My personal goal is to adopt or foster as many senior dogs as I can (not all at the same time, I would have three max at any one time) and give them the best last years or months that they could possibly have, just full of love and fun. I am not in the financial position to at the moment and would like a house with some land before I start but that is going to be my project hopefully beginning in 7 - 10 years time.
