How would being rich change your life?

[portseven]

* Pay off all debts (inc mortgates)
* Put a pot in a trust fund for the kids
* Buy a nicer car & house somewhere sunny
* Arrange finance so that I have a steady income for life
* Spend time at home with family and also contributing to various open source projects.

Sorry to be soppy but I would spend all day every day with my children. I miss them so much and I'm luckier than most people with good work hours and limited travel.

Great answer

I would move from permie job to permie job, getting fired for laughing too much.

Usual, house, cars, sort the kids, travel, Msc or something, and invest in some small businesses.

Also my mates and I go to the Le-Mans 24hr race every year, I'd hire each one a DB9 to drive down to our usual camp site in - that would be brill.

I'd retire. You only sacrifice the best years of your life in order to live, surely? Bollox to that for a hobby.

I'd also drive the same crappy car just to piss everyone off who'd be expecting me to get a Porsche or something equally pointless.

Nice house and time with family are all I aspire to.

I'm one of those sick barstewards who actually enjoys what I do, and on the odd occasion when I haven't been doing it miss the intellectual stimulation so much that my wife threatens to walk out.

I think, even if I won the lottery (highly unlikely since I don't play it), I'd still carry on doing it. I know - I am a very sick man and need to seek medical help urgently

It would probably make me more philanthropic! I'd love to give the local RNLI and similar good causes some resources to benefit the work they do.

Apart from the obligatory nice house in the country, villa in tuscany, Aston Martin etc...

I would attempt to live comfortably off savings and investment return, never having to work again.

They I would dabble in some philanthropy, love the idea of being in the enviable financial position to make a significant difference to peoples lives.

I would probably do a few degrees in stuff I am interested in, get tutored in loads of skills i wanted to learn, eg a musical instrument, some languages.

And I would then just enjoy life.

I'd be able to live more like Dim Prawn, with his millions.

Give up work.

Spend more time online, or playing board games, roleplaying. I've done a lot of travel to Central Europe and America. Not interested in the Far East. Yuk.

Equip a music studio. Buy a nightclub and make it Goth/BDSM only (ie...doesn't need to open for the mainstream).

Build dream house. Not fussed about cars. Probably get a driver, since driving is boring and demands time, which I can better spend in the car doing other things.

Give loads of money to friends, so they don't have to be tied down with work either. No point being rich if all your friends have to work is there ?

Don't have kids, but if I did, I'd make sure they don't have to work either.

Don't agree with the "I had to work, so they have to as well" selfish mentality.
