Ask Lemmy

I'd go to college. I'd learn all the things I had to teach myself, but properly. I'd spend as many of the remaining minutes of my life with my family, giving them the things I always couldn't. As a father, you're expected to work your ass off to provide for your family, and doing so trades away all the precious moments you could have had. My kids are almost adults now, and I regret every day not being born rich.

I would do whatever I feel like doing that day, including but not limited to:

• Travel
• Seeing shows
• Napping
• Napping while traveling
• Napping while seeing shows
• Basically napping

Honestly I would only want two things, to not have to worry about money and to live where I want. So much stress and thinking goes into money that I think I would be quite relaxed if I didn’t have to think about it except for investments. I also wouldn’t have to worry about home security or how my pets are taken care of. For living where I want, my job and family takes me around the a world. I wish I had a small place in each location :)

Do art, woodworking, and other hobbies in a remote location.

Weekend everyday, basically. I don't care for a house or fancy things, I'd spend my time creating art and having fun with friends - who I'd share some wealth with.

I'd buy myself a more proper country and be the change I want in the world.

Be Batman.

I've always had this fantasy of dressing up like a superhero and helping folks out. Like fixing flat tires and small stuff like that. I'd hire a sidekick to do all the heavy lifting while I stood around taking the credit and making silly jokes

Have a child / children. Invest in my community. Help my parents retire. Get another dog. Buy the fancy chocolates. Probably join some sort of workout class for my own health.

Buy a house in a safe neighborhood for myself. Establish at least one housing complex for the homeless with medical, psychiatric, and general care staff as close as possible to said safe neighborhood. Repeat until all that is left is enough to keep said complexes staffed and operational for at least 5 years.

Keep at least $1,000,000 to invest into the stock market in various ETFs, REITs, and LEAP Option calls. All profits go back to maintaining and establishing more housing complexes for the homeless.

All my free time would be spent figuring out how to end the homelessness crisis. If ever accomplished, focus my efforts on the public education system, and praying I somehow have the willpower to avoid corruption.

I'm a drunk with a job. I'd imagine I'd be a drunk without a job for a bit before the first one again.

I'd pay my workers more and stop being a dick

I would calculate the amount of money I would need to keep in investments and in my bank account in order to generate, in interest/returns,etc, the amount I would need to live comfortably for the rest of my life. I would then donate the rest to various charities.

Do whatever I could to get sustainable energy going, just invest in all the renewable energy projects. Let's get everyone going with solar panels! Wind farms wherever we can! Free charging stations for everything!!! Oh, your battery tech project needs funding? Here's all the money you need!

• Buy high-end items for all of my hobbies.
• Eat regularly at my favorite restaurants.
• Wear clothing that isn't locally available.

Focus on the fake company I have created. Spread ourselves across the web. I would make sure people know the name Paranoia Paranoia Entertainment Media Group (PPEMG/P2EMG/P²EMG) and what we stand for.

It would also allow me to get commissions of not just my fursona, but also get commissions of all the other members, all characters I've made up. And would also allows me to get a good vtuber model for my fursona and another OC of mine for when I am either sick or incapable of speaking, alongside a good setup to make sure my videos would be good enough quality.

I'd donate to cancer research. You never know when it's gonna hit you and I'd rather die knowing I did something to help cure it.

Hobbies. I like making lots of different things and giving them away. I would fix all sorts of things and give them to the needy. I'd love to fix up crappy houses and cars and everything broken and give it back. I hate throwing things away and love repairing them. I think the world would be a better place if we did that a lot more, so I want to be the change I want to see.

Learn to fly a helicopter Build a simpit Fund a research expedition somewhere

If I were just a little rich, I would work less, and spend more time traveling.

If I were rich (but not rich-rich) I would retire, move further away from the city, and make my own saw mill. Also spend more time traveling.

If I were rich-rich, I would fund Vasalgel, lobby for that project to make mosquitoes extinct, and fund a few low budget films per year, outside of Hollywood. I don't know where I would move, but I would probably still travel more.

Assuming Elon musk level money with a diversified portfolio that doesn't bias me to a small set of companies or industries. I'd make a man made archipelago on international waters and start my own country. We'd be formed foundation style with a purely meritocratic government and society contributing 100% to the betterment of mankind and our future prosperity. I'd like to envision something like a modern library of alexandria were all are welcome. Alternatively I could just try to make the uk or America less moronic but sadly the state of things just depresses me. We need a hard reset IMO.

It depends how rich

If by rich you mean what a child would consider a lot of money, i dont think i could do much with 100€

If by rich you mean infinite money, i would try to buy all companies and politicians i can, make money worthless in as many countries as i can and attempt to achieve anarcho-posadism or something similar

If I were so rich that I'd never have to work again, I'd go to law school and become a public defender. I can't become Batman, but I can still help others.
