Ask Lemmy

Two chicks at the same time.

I'd ya ba dibba dibba dibba dibba dibba dibba dum.

If I were “influence the government” rich I’d probably start an organization designed to facilitate and encourage the spread of cooperatively owned businesses by providing loans to unions to purchase stock in their employers and by loaning money to start cooperatively owned businesses.

I’d also probably lobby the government for more protections of individual rights and environmental protections and more human focused urban development prioritizing shared mass transit and bicycles over cars.

Lifestyle, I’d stick to a middle class life. I don’t need things to be particularly nice to be happy, just more time with the people I love and the ability to partake in community

I always wanted to buy up a bunch of section 8 housing and make the really nice. Like, free wifi, gym, day, care, maybe some simple shops on the bottom floor. It would hold events, regular stuff like bingo or what have you, but also job fair/workshops, health talks, etc. I would partner with local business (hell, even big ones), so people living in my property get discounts for food, clothes, etc by showing their apart key or whatever. I wanted to make a really nice living space for people with lower income because they always get the shittest stuff. I wanted people to have a place of pride to come home to, a place safe for them and their families.

My follow up was to buy luxerh condos/apartments for the stupid rich, up the rent, and use the difference to continue funding my stuff, or, if I didn't need it, make a months raffle or something.

Move out of the US.

Get my healthcare dealt with (not bad, but i definitely avoid stuff just so I don't have I pay or deal with the VA absolute bullshit...I am thankful for it Incase something tragic happens...but otherwise, I'd rather suffer.).

Then I would build a house and start a mellow business like a boardgame cafe or something of the like.

There would be other stupid frivolous spending, but getting set and comfortable would be priority.

Fucking relax. And de-stress.

Do something about my depression, and my health. And my loved ones'.

And then, if I achieved that, I'd start thinking about what to do with the rest of my time.

Live peacefully in a mountain or valley somewhere

If I were a wealthy woman I would retire and travel the world in style, with whoever wanted to come along. Wouldn't even need a house.

If we were just well off (like making twice the income we do now) I'd be out of debt, and fixing up the house to be beautiful, and still traveling but only when I had PTO.

If I had a rich man, like if husband was making 4x his s income, I'd work 5 more years but put all the money away into savings, then retire and fix up the house, work in the garden, enjoy life and hopefully travel on his time off.

If I were rich good chance I'll be like any typical rich people. Money corrupts.

SCIENCE! So much science. If I have enough to go around, I'll pay others to do science with me.

So basically, no change from my current life, except I'd be less stressed about money, and therefore much more productive.

Move to a different country

disappear from radar

do random acts of charity

buy senators and media to support climate change and education

make a competing big cheapo pharma

redirect fame/blame to paid actors

Hunt other rich men for sport, and have my very expensive team of lawyers keep me out of prison.

Grab that cash with both hands and make a stash

New car, caviar, four star, daydream

Think I'd buy me a football team

If I was a rich man, the only thing that would really change is the anxiety of losing my job and not being able to pay rent would go away.

if I was billionaire rich, I would buy companies that provide essential services and make them non profits.

buy useful tech services and convert them to non profits without advertising. e. g. YouTube etc.

lobby to ensure environment protection laws are made to protect the environment and not profits.

stop government subsidies on anything that's bad for the environment. meat. fossil fuels.

Buy secluded land and build a prep retreat/bunker just in case. Then take some time, hire a team, and map out a path to first taking over the Democratic party, maybe rebrand, then a path to taking over the government and updating the Constitution.

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

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

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.

To me "rich" means someone whose passive income exceeds their spending.

So if I was rich I'd stop working and instead pursue my personal interests. Ideally I'd buy a property somewhere remote and close to water with a lot of land and start building a homestead of some sort.

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.

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.

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 :)

My projects! Changing regulation for the better, knowing the one who will enjoy it will be those who were born aftrr me! Supporting open source projects, making a business out of some of it, to support the other projects!

Pretty much what I do now, but with way more sex.

(I'm disabled so I have lots of free time to game and fuck around on the internet)

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.

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
