so you wouldnt want hookers and blow?
Good to see that money isn't the primary motivator for some...
but if I am being completely honest...it has always kinda been the carrot-so to speak...
It has taken me many years of work-work-work...to be able to have a chance to have a decent retirement...and I can be pretty happy with just a few simple things...
but...
It kinda gnaws at me that a lot of those years were in pursuit of something-whether it be an education, climbing the job ladder, saving for retirement,investing,etc...
And the rewards along the way like vacations, toys, giving gifts,etc...
seemed to be lightly sprinkled in between all that hard work....
Life certainly isn't fair...but some people NEVER had to spend decades working and building for something-they were basically born with it...such is life.
Appreciate the candid responses....
maybe the guys with answers like-"hookers & blow" really have a legit motivation...
so you wouldnt want hookers and blow?
I'd open a no a kill shelter for dogs and cats.
Buy a nice piece of land north west of town near the hill country.
Easy answer.
Well, I don't mess with coke...I just kinda like the way it smells...
and hookers...I never felt bold enough to hire one...
but the ones in the Beverly Hills Hotel-polo lounge and the Peninsula Beverly Hills - Club Bar were/are so physically attractive...that it made me question myself...but I still never did and probably never will...just not my thing...
to each his own...
same here, but im sure the money would build enough confidence in me to dig in.
lol I was just teasingIn today's society, it is unrealistic; but in the time it was taken (circa 1930-1934) and the purpose for which it was staged, it was very realistic. But thanks, I just use it cuz the backstory is cool
nice pun if it was intended
Megamillions is up to 304 million....
Since when did snorting cocaine off a dead hooker's ass become the American dream?
OP is a fat
it depends on how much I get.
I want to own a sports franchise.
Money to do things I want to do is why I go to work. Definitely.
If I didn't have to work, there would be a lot I'd enjoy doing. Traveling, giving it a go as a writer, possibly work towards a higher degree. I would enjoy the coursework, but right now in a cost-benefit analysis, a Masters isn't worthwhile to me.
Mostly, I would be able to afford a gestational surrogate. That's huge. I know I'd have kids then, which is up in the air at the moment, since we can't afford fertility treatments or adoption right now.
But I work in my job to afford my house and car and the extras we like. Without that motivation, I wouldn't be here. It's not so bad, as it goes, but it's not my life passion or anything. But going into my life passion isn't an option if I want to keep my house/car/extras right now (and frankly, I'm not even sure what my life's passion would be. Used to be helping pregnant women and new mothers, but I don't do so well around them since my son died).
There are a ton of worthwhile activities I would like to get involved in if I could, but haven't time or money to do so now. . .
Does anyone here like going to work? I enjoy working…It is about staying busy not just making money...I am glad that I no longer have to work two jobs…Working only 45 hours per week & having weekends off is like being semi retired…
Would never work ever again. Ever.
I would give NO money to charity, that's for goddamn sure.
After investing much of it, I would buy a tank (probably a T-62), some live ammo, and a large plot in Africa so I could drive it around and shoot stuff.
I would have a harem. I'd keep it relatively small (20-30) and staffed with Asian chicks from poor countries who can't speak English. There'd be a few eunuchs on the payroll to guard and serve them.
I'd have henchman. Preferably uncouth former Spetsnaz/KGB types
I would definitely have a well-mannered British butler who calls me "master"
Finally, for when I'm feeling blue, I'd purchase a helicopter, attach a sign to the back that says, "LOL @ Poor People", and fly over trailer parks and projects all day long.
I've thought about this a lot. After a very long vacation, I think I would have to do something. Simply sitting around for months would be unappealing.
Which is why I'd like to travel and try to improve my writing to the point I could actually write a novel or something. Start a charitable foundation or become a doula or something.
If I won the lottery, I would likely find some sort of part-time work. It would just be because I wanted to do something. The sorts of things I can't pursue now, because I need the money I make in my job.
But I definitely wouldn't continue in my line of work. It doesn't interest me beyond the paycheck, really.
, I don't think I'd do too many things differently but I'd do it in a different place.
I'd travel more or "some" (I guess is the appropriate word) but I'd buy a place in the mountains, spend a lot more time with family, set up a recording studio, grill, drink beer, play guitar, play quoits, have a big garden, go fishing.
It doesn't take much to make me happy. The money would just provide peace of mind.
Not have to worry about making ends meet and know that if anything happened to me, my family would be taken care of.
If you think money isn't everything...tell that to somebody who doesn't have it...unfortunately...in our modern day society...it's all about the all mighty dollar...
This.
Definitely playing the Mega Millions on Friday.
I hope to work in my mid 70's…At which point I would like to start my 2nd career driving the Steam Locomotive at Disneyland…
