Tell my wife I now have “fuck you money”, and then fuck her lots because she could quit her shitty stressful job and have energy again.
D’aw, I wasn’t expecting something wholesome to be the first thing. Good job Lemmy
I would buy as much land as I could. Build myself a reasonable house and a load of barns. I have always wanted to run a farm animal sanctuary that takes in abused and unwanted farm friends. Then I would spend the rest of my days laughing at goats and cows and chickens being derpy. That and maybe take a nice vacation to the beach once in a while.
Why not just build your animal sanctuary next to a beach and laugh at derpy land and sea animals? :-)
Holy cow we have the same childhood dream!
2 chicks at the same time
That’s it? If you had fuck you money you’d do two chicks at the same time?
I really hope I’m not the only one who read that in Lawrence’s voice.
Why stop at 2?
I only have 2 dicks :(
Understandable, have a nice day.
With “fuck you” money, you could purchase more dicks.
Dude you can do that if you’re broke af just be hot and charming.
I probably wouldn’t quit my job because I like it. I probably wouldn’t even tell many people I had that much money. My only debt is my mortgage so that would be gone. I’d probably buy a better house with an actual yard. Sell this house to my roommate for dirt cheap. (There’s no way he’d just take it)
Probably do some lying that my brother won some kind of raffle and give him a bunch of racecar parts. Shit maybe even sponsor a race team or two, gotta get the young kids back in the sport as all the old guys retire.
I’d probably buy some land in another area, give myself a vacation house. But this wouldn’t be immediate. Probably get a new car, mines pretty old. Build a greenhouse on my new property, have way too many rescue animals. Maybe even run a small rescue.
All this is assuming I’ve already set myself up for retirement and I’m good to go with everything else.
I probably would do the same as I love what the job entails.
I’m pushing 40 and basically have everything settled and really don’t need a lot. Have my house, garden, friends, ect. Money would just be a nice stress relief at this point.
Only problem I could see is that at the place I work is a 503©. So when/if the higher ups learn of my winnings, they’d either beg for donations or fire me.
Probably the former as the department is already short staffed and you need a license to do this job.
What job do you have?
Buy a nice home, upgrade it to my liking (CAT6 to all parts of it, solar panels/energy storage/network cabinet/make it watertight and safe for the next 50 years), buy a shitty looking van with a petrol powered pressure washer and indemnity insurance and spend my spare time going around cleaning paths and monuments etc. in my local area.
I ran cat 6 through the house we moved into over winter. The box, the guys running the cable and patching the walls after was like $1,200…not exactly fuck you money and absolutely worth it.
Ran it to the office, basement TV and office, family room, kids rooms and wife office.
If you want to do it, it might be worth exploring rather than waiting to hit the lottery.
A 1000’ box of cat6 was is I think $150 or so. A couple of those and a couple weekends of your time = profit. Plus it frees up your wifi for phones/tablets/laptops/etc.
This post just makes me want to be friends with you lol
I want him to adopt me. Dad?
This is the best plan I’ve seen yet.
Massive underground dwelling. Not sure why, but that was my first thought.
Like hobbit house or prepper bunker?
I would try to ease the life of everyone around me.
That’s a nice answer
Pretty sure quitting your job would be the first thing most people would do.
But next up? Booking tickets to Japan to eat and drink my way through the country for a few months.
Pretty sure quitting your job would be the first thing most people would do.
I quite like my job, so I’d just reduce the amount of time I spend there to approx. 10 hours a week.
I would go for a eat and drink world tour. Every countries best dishes and drinks.
Hire someone to manage my money.
build an offgrid house
based
Work on finding a way to sustainably help the most people.
You may not have to reincarnate here again if you keep those thoughts. :)
Pay off my mortgage. And those of my siblings. Boring, but it’s what I’d do first…
I would buy the best health insurance. Whatever the 1% are using. Super Platinum Cadillac Gold Insurance. I would get my loved ones the best medical care in the world. I could fly them private to see specialists, I could afford 5000$ a month experimental drugs, I could extend their lives and the qaulity of said life.
Seems like a really shitty “fuck you” if all you’re doing is giving insurance companies more money with no benefit whatsoever to your loved ones considering it would be cheaper to pay out of pocket at that point
Yes, you’re right, it is probably more beneficial to society to pay out of pocket, but even wealthy people have insurance in this country for a reason. Having insurance gets you better care. I don’t like this system anymore than you do, but I have to live in it.
Depending on how much money you had, why not go the golden visa route and move to a real first world country in the EU?
All my friends are here.
If you had that kind of money would you even need health insurance? Just self-insure.
Health insurance gets you better care, and at that level looks radically diffrent from what us peasants use.
So… Altered Carbon?
I’d buy a house. Not something huge, but decently sized riverfront property.
This makes me sad, because owning a house is an unattainable dream for most of us.
Buying a house was / is still plenty expensive but a riverfront one? Riverfront is at least an order of magnitude more expensive. And insurances hait those since the last big floods in these parts and it shows in their premium.
Everywhere is going to be ‘waterfront’ in a few years! Everyone wins!
Nhaaaa that’s okay I live high enough not to have the water on my doorstep. The refugees though that will be annoying.
A house or nice apartment.
Then I’d buy a private train to boast among the other rich people how much more climate friendly that is… pretty sure Davos has a train station, right?
