If You Were Born Rich, How Would Your Life Be Different From What It Is? (self.asklemmy)

(assuming you weren't "born rich")

What do you define as being "rich"?

Or how would your life change if you won the lottery?

Without such wealth, can you still do something like what you would desire with such wealth? (Like if a person wants an expensive car, they might be able to read and discuss about what they like about such cars, etc.)

I'd have a VR headset and maybe a 4090. Maybe not be a patient gamer. No I'd still wait for that part, since buggy releases wouldn't make me happy spending money on broken products even if it was only the equivalent of a dollar to me.

As for what I define as rich? Having your own place you actually like while not having to work anymore, since you got a steady flow of passive income to maintain the lifestyle you want.

Like I'd consider someone who lives in a small apartment or cozy cabin but has a sustainable lifestyle more rich than someone living in a huge home with multiple cars, but would lose it all if they lost their job less wealthy. Rich to me is being free of the rat race, and being able to keep up the standard of living that makes you happy and comfortable.
