Jason's writing prompt yesterday asked this question.
My response:
Exactly what I am currently doing.
PLUS:
1. Work in a social innovation company that helps local people in Africa to get expertise in tech, healthcare and project management.
2. Investing in real estate. Commercial property with multiple units.
3 . I would work on my business ideas that need a lot of startup capital:
a) Combining WeWork idea with Airbnb plus gym/cafe and childcare included.
b) Create a deep shower spa treatment centers.
c) Create a tv series or a movie that talks about immigration and identity in a more realistic way.
4. I have a few nutrition based product ideas. I may get into that to create delicious food for people with restrictions.
Just 4 things for now. That's all.

I am particularly drawn to the first line item:
(Work in a social innovation company that helps local people in Africa to get expertise in tech, healthcare and project management.)
What would that look like if you don't mind me asking?
I think there is a lot of untapped skill and energy in Africa. I know that at least in Ethiopia there is a great potential if there was access to education and the internet. Instead of goods or depending on aid, I think educating the eager youth on tech, healthcare and project management means that we can start outsourcing the skill on an international level and raise the standard of life in general. There is no reason for the ridiculous brain drain if things improved back home. So working on training and educating could have very strong long term effects. I would love to work on that as soon as possible.
