View Full Version : If you woke up rich, what would you do?
sweetladie30 03-13-2005, 08:39 PM If I woke up rich, I would check into it before I spent any of it. To see how true it was and where it came from. People do make mistakes. I would hate to spend it all and then have to repay it back. I would also put some away for retirement. I would like to have fun to play when i get older as well. Well happy thoughts. :D

*Pleasant Tomorrow* 03-13-2005, 09:00 PM give a lot to poor people, whatever I feel like with the rest. I hate those *******s who buy like ten cars they drive once and then show them off on cribs. That money could be going to kids with no food.
I'd also found a bunch of drive in movie theaters. The one here is one of the few even left, and it's really ****ty.

ABlairican Pie 03-14-2005, 01:47 AM I'd apologize and let him sleep in for a few hours.
:lol:
Actually, I'd move out of this crummy apartment, get a new car, move my stuff to L.A., get cable and buy a few more guitars and Marshall amps, and a big scratching post the size of the Capitol Records building for my kitties. :kitties:
Czas na Zywiec 03-14-2005, 02:04 AM Move to Germany and finish up college there, pay off any loans and debts I have at CU here, then buy a flat in inner London and Sydney. Then whatever I have left over, donate to AIDS and cancer research.
Jrnygrl 03-14-2005, 02:17 AM Since you didn't say how rich I would wake up to be. Are we talking Bill Gates rich. If that is the case, then I would:
donate to a few charities
buy a home in either Manhattan, Hermosa or Redondo Beach or Sausalito/San Francisco
buy real estate in both L.A and N.Y.
buy a place in London and Hawaii
buy The Fox channel and fire everybody there
buy a sports team
start a magazine or a record label
hire Steve Perry to write songs for a duet CD with me ;)
hire either Eddie Van Halen or Eric Clapton to give me guitar lessons :guitar:
Belair 03-14-2005, 05:41 AM Get out of this sh*t dump,and TRAVEL!

Kay Scarpetta 03-14-2005, 08:18 AM oh yeah... I'd also give to various animal charities. Gotta take care of the animals, too!
Superstar 03-14-2005, 03:30 PM I'd buy a mansion and buy the Walt Disney company
Dutabi84 03-14-2005, 03:53 PM Okay, realistically, I'd give my mom a bunch. I'd buy myself a large house in Minnesota somewhere, play a bunch of poker, and donate a large portion to cancer research.

Stormtracker TF 03-14-2005, 04:29 PM I'd buy me a nice car, a house in California and one up near Lake Huron in Michigan, give some of the money to my parents, spend a ton of it on random stuff I'd like to have and just donate the rest.

Send my family(parents, brother, sister, their spouses, and my nephews & nieces all) on their dream vactations
Sterling Holobyte 03-17-2005, 05:52 PM I am rich. I have a lovely daughter. :)
Ok, money-wise rich:
I would buy up my family's houses so they wouldn't have to worry about mortgages and other stuff.
Then I would...
Invest. Probably in real estate.(I know. Kind of boring, but I'd like to make sure I would keep having money coming in so I could continue being rich and so I could keep doing things like...)
Give to charities.
Buy a house in Hawaii. And here in WI.
Buy a music studio(or build one)
Get the best scriptwriting software money could buy.
Get the best moviemaking equipment money could buy.
And then I'd probably have lunch. ;)

Dude111 04-30-2023, 04:46 PM give a lot to poor people, whatever I feel like with the rest. Yup I think I would also....
Find those who needed the $$$$$$$ and do some good with it,there are alot of people hurting out there and no one cares......
Yong Fang 05-01-2023, 07:27 AM If I was rich enough not to be a soul sucking employment slave?
I would travel the World, especially Europe. But go almost everywhere that would take me that was safe. That is still most of the World. I have never been to Europe and am afraid at my age I will never make it there. At least go to Britain, France, Italy and Greece. But basically I would be on the road/plane or ship for several years. If I find a place I like, I’ll stay for a couple of days or weeks. To not have a schedule. My wife can go if she is interested but would be happy to see my gone a month at a time and come back a month.
I love pinball machines so I would get involved with that culture. There are lots of conventions and auctions and things. Where I ended up living (if in America) I might get involved in a pinball league. I don’t know about owning many machines, but probably a few I might have. Pinball machines tend to be high maintenance and usually a game is only fun for so long before it gets boring. Might get an older EM machine as more of a work of art and playability a secondary thing.
Live somewhere where marijuana is legal. I live marijuana and if it was up to me would be high all the time. For a period of time for several years, I was literally high every waking moment. I would also be a fixture at some favorite bars, sitting on the end with my IPad, my adult beverage and smokes. Welcome interesting conversation or not. To have the luxury to ask “What day is it today?” because I have no idea and no real need to go since I am not an employment serf or have any obligations. The only time that time would have any meaning is to get on the bus, boat, plane, train or donkey to might next port of call.
When I get tired, find a place to live. Marijuana has to be legal and have a positive demographic. I grew up with a demographic. I wouldn’t really have a huge house even if I was a billionaire. Might have four bedrooms for two people, a living room, a nice, large kitchen and dining room. My joy would be having a nice pool, a hot tub and a sauna. I really want a sauna. Smoke a fat joint, go in there and sweat. Nirvana. Then in the pool. After dinner, smoke another fat joint, turn on the Steely Dan and myself and my wife naked soaking in the tub. Hell yes.
I couldn’t care less about cars and probably would use a car service like Uber/Lyft or something like that. I hate driving. Too many idiots, can get into accidents, dealing with cops. Having to pay insurance companies more money.
Lastly, my stupid parents sent me to this awful private school ran by a woman who was Hitler’s sister. She was a sociopathic witch who beat the kids for small infractions. She is now dead (thankfully) and someone owns the property with the buildings but the main school building is in severe disrepair, seemingly someone might have torn all the copper out. The school isn’t in a good area (not awful but not great), I would like to buy it and help bulldoze the building to the ground and then donate the land to a place which specializes in care for abused people, especially child abuse victims and battered wives. Turn that horror show of a private school into a positive. Plus me driving a bulldozer would kick ass (and yes, I would be sober as a Baptist judge doing it!)
