If you suddenly...
 

...got filthy rich, how would you change your life?

I would never work for anyone ever again.

I would devote all my waking hours to painting in my studio.

I would move to some place that isn't full of Republicans.

buy my own bowling alley and fill half of it with pinball machines. i am hooked on both.

Move out, get an awesome apartment in Denver, buy a bunch of unnecessary guitar equipment, buy a recording studio, live happily ever after.

And buy a hooker for a night to play GTA with. Seems ironic, running over hookers with a hooker.

I'd buy crypto's studio

I would eat gourmet sushi every day.

I would relax... I would sit on my ass all day... I would do nothing.

Compared to everyone I know in real life.. family, friends, coworkers, enemies.. I am rich. I don't know about "filthy". But let me put it like this: The richer I've become, the more I realize I don't want anything that I have. Really, I don't want anything, period, and I'm constantly selling/getting rid of shit. I could quit my job at this very moment but I just don't. I dunno what compels me to keep going on. Granted, I'm not FILTHY rich, but I am well-off enough at this point where I could pretty easily not work for the next 2 years and still be able to pay for everything with no problem. I went through a time for a year where I didn't work at all, and that was awful. Even though I have dreams of becoming a famous avant-garde filmmaker or musician (ha ha ha ha ha.. right?), I dunno if devoting all my time to it is going to do anything more than just amplify my disappointment as I still am overlooked another time for someone with an art degree and "connections, maaaaaaan". Not that I'm that talented, but I certainly have more good ideas than half the assholes who get successful. So, really, devote my time to tragedy and nothingness? Eh. That might be fun, but that would be it, that's all I'd be doing. Working on new "art" products and then, eventually, "starving". It's difficult to truly make an impact on this world, because there's so much bullshit people have to wade through. And honestly, I'm not that great at getting my shit out there. I find the whole process tedious. Yeah, I'll drop some links or send some stuff over soulseek, but jesus... burning cd's/movies for people and driving 25 minutes to the post office, to wait in line, to spend money to send shit, and have to deal with all these nutso people all day? I dunno. I need to find someone to distribute my works for me more, but most people are unreliable or just aren't passionate. Not that I blame 'em.

But yeah, as for your question, if I became FILTHY rich... I'd probably just... be doing what I'm doing now.

atsonicpark, you have always been one of the most logically honest on the board. Now...I hope you find your soul-mate.

I'll tell you what I'd do man... two chicks at the same time, man.

 

I would save/invest everything I needed to live comfortably, yet frugally, buy a few things, like a car a place to live, etc maybe some nice music equipment, pay my student loans and give the rest to various charities. The only thing I really wish right now is that I could give more. Either that, or I would start buying up businesses and news media, and create an actual liberal media that can fucking put the screws on assholes like Fox News.

other than not having to work, it wouldn't change anything AT ALL.

I nah go switch

and knowing me, I woul end up giving much of it away to friends and family.

no fun being wealthy by yrself!

Buy a mountain, and build a little crack shack to live in. Have about 10 dogs, and other farm like animals. There is going to be a nice little stream and swimming spot.

Oh yeah, and a big ass grow op.

Get myself a nice place. Maybe spread some of my wealth around. Maybe start up a business of some sort so I'd have something to do with myself :)

I'd pay a lot of taxes.

as a citizen of the bay area I can assure you that you should be happy your prius-to-person ratio is on the low side

i would give it all away because i never want to live that life ever again.

2 chicks at the same time

I'd spread that shit around like rep.

hypothetical questions are s0 st00pid

A life of constant temptation.

Just like in post #12 ???

yep
just like post #12

want a choco chip cookie?

It goes without saying that I would pursue music and travel and not work for anybody the rest of my life. Additionally...

I would become a dictatorial, fascistic patron of the arts.
By which I mean that I would give a lot of money to people that I felt were doing work I could get behind so that they could pursue that work unfettered by the stresses and annoyances of day jobs.
The dictatorial part of my grant program would be that there will be no "application process." I find out about you, I like you, you get money. No submissions, no dossiers, no "board," no "jury."

I would still become a teacher and live real fucking comfortably.

I think the most precious thing you can have is peace of mind. Because then, it doesn't matter if you have $$ or not. Also, if you have something like cancer and are at peace with yourself, you can deal with it. I think.

House.
Full kitchen.
Recording studio.
Huge Library.
Huge gym.
A new bicycle.
Some jeans and a ton of t-shirts.
And I would spend my spare time buying and collecting records.

I'd pay off my debt and put my mom back into college simply because she'd LOVE to go back and learn more. I'd still pursue a job in graphic design/web design/whatev but I'd be less stressed during the times i wasn't working with that. I'd probably also legitimize all the music I find worthy, from my digital audio collection.

I'd buy a house, new car, and study full time.. probably at all sorts of interesting places too, not just here because I'd have no need to be restricted by 'work' or money.. More than likely I'd try my ass off to get into film production/set/artistic in the US. I'd put a lot more money into my arts biz too. and I'd start a record label. and... I dunno what else.

Finish school, and not have to worry about working while going.

Gah do I wish I won some sort of money. Just to relieve my self of this stupid debt.

I would probably hire some one to be my personal assistant/manager and get them to do most of the boring things for me and i would just hang out with my friends making everyday a weekend
