A fun* thing spouse and I do occasionally is "what would we do if we won the lottery?" We talk through all the things we would do and buy if we had stupid money. What's yours? What would you do if you suddenly had, say, a few hundred million dollars? *for varying definitions of fun, including mine

    @ldottxt@kind.social I have a few lofty-sounding ideas about my metamour’s car payments and my best friend’s daughter’s college education. I think at first it would look like having way too much properly researched fun with Silent Donor International and getting delightfully silly amounts of takeout.

    @ldottxt@kind.social Step 1: Pay off any debts (personal, mortgage, etc.). Step 2: Give a meaningful gift to anyone important in our lives. Step 3: Break off $1,000,000 per person to have fun with. Step 4: Put the rest in a bank and live off the interest. Fun things I’d like to do: - Buy a MINI Cooper, my favorite kind of car - Maybe get a holiday house around Buffalo, where the real estate is cheap. - Guitars and Computers. Guitars and Computers everywhere.

    @ldottxt@kind.social 1. Wife's student debts. 2. Modest house in Agaete. 3. Nonfancy living for the rest of my life. 4. Rest goes to mutualaid toots and charities over time.

  • @ldottxt@kind.social The kids would each have a house. Grandkids would have future college paid for. We would set up something to fund the local high school theater and band programs. A friend who has trouble with affording his diabetes medications and supplies would not have that problem anymore. We could travel.

    @ldottxt@kind.social After the initial electronics and crafting supply shopping spree: Buy a house. Fill it with antique furniture. Hire a maid/cook person to make sure we eat proper food and that the house gets cleaned occasionally... Then I don't know, maybe go to a private doctor to go through all my available data to see the big picture of all the things wrong with me and make a treatment plan. And a private trainer to get me off my ass?
