Default Better to fly professionally or for fun?

Even as a pro, if I won the powerball jackpot tomorrow, I wouldn't seriously consider flying my family and friends around in anything more complex than a Caravan. A twin, high perf single turboprop and especially a jet is a full time commitment IMHO. I already have that. It's safe because I fly more days than not and with a type rated captain and am held to part 135 standards on every flight.
Get a Cessna 206 or Cherokee 6 and avoid low IFR and you'll be fine. Spend less money and fly for fun more than proficiency. Throttle back and enjoy the view. It's just for fun, right?
