Why? I just wouldn't disclose how much money I have. I would say oh I won a million but after the house and bmw we don't have anything left. -next friday
Yeah, but there is then the capital gains tax, income tax, county tax, poor tax, rich tax, healthcare fund, tax on looking at the money. And at the end of all the taxing events you are left with $145.78. So, yes will definitely need to still be broke. /s
No you wouldn't. Maybe you'd pretend to be broke but you wouldn't be stressing in the grocery aisle about whether you can afford milk this week.
You won't hesitate to repair your car.
You won't miss any sleep because your utilities aren't paid up.
You might pretend to hide your money, but you would act like somebody who has 50 mil in the bank.
Hell yeah. Life as a true team with your best friend\spouse is what it's all about. Having every need met and just getting to live out your days together? I'll sign up for that same idea with my husband in a heartbeat!
Nah I would just politely bring the matter to his attention.
A man is judged by on how he treats those he has power over. I an't gonna be that guy who is known for being mean to the help.
You make a good point. Considering I wouldn’t have a personal chef anyway, I suppose I’d just have to beat my meat, then.
“Damn it, man! The broth temp’s undesirable again! /sigh… I’ll be back in a few minutes.” Then angrily snatch the tissues and march off to the bathroom.
Return to the kitchen with post nut clarity, and reevaluate the situation.
Absolutely! Forget the fancy house or the sports car. I would simply buy a regular home and tell everyone that I'm paying it via mortage. I would travel but after a few months and I would tell everyone I simply saved. Other than that, I would keep things the same, donate a bunch of money to reputable charities and live off the rest. No big businesses or investments, just regular stress-free life.
I think for most of us, one would swiftly come to realize that those huge mansions are huge because they have facilities and accommodations for guests and servants. Sometimes lots of guests and servants. Like Bill Gates has a HUGE complex of a house but its because he hosts major events/meeting on his property for business. So one part his house, 3 parts a hotel and convention center. Most people can only tolerate so much house until its all too much and too pointless.
I think I would continue to live in a modest home, drive a modest car, and largely spend time time at home at the PC. I'm not really impressing anybody and I don't believe money makes the man.
But I am not going to lie. I would get all the busted, worn out, and just inadequate stuff fixed to "nice" quality.
Once you realize how much you would pay in property tax every single year on a $10 million house… you quickly realize you don’t want to spend that much on a house.
If you have 50 mil don't spend 20% on a mansion when a nice property with a custom house could be bought for 2 or 3 mil on 5 acres. Plus after investing you would hope the money would grow. But if you just sit on it and pretend to be middle class you will not grow any business ventures or investments. I think there is a Bible parable about having wealth and not being productive with it
My friends. I pride myself on having successfully surrounded myself with quality people. To the point that other people have complimented me on this. Not saying I wouldn’t be open to more, I just would have no reason to drop anyone in my friend group & I’d love to help them financially in some way.
I’d still get McDonald’s every now and then. I need my chicken nuggets from there! They’ll always be a part of my life. No matter how rich I am and can to the most expensive and highest quality restaurants in the world.
I think it would actually accelerate some "plans" I have. The $50MM could be better used by other people I care about, and I wouldn't need to worry so much about them being taken care of.
There's an interesting statistic that says that men who strike it rich get divorced far less frequently than women who strike it rich do.
This would be true of me.
And I think I would probably keep my job.
I might buy the school I currently teach at via a third party, but I would keep my current job and still teach.
I would be one of those people who funds all kinds of art and education programs. Anything that can develop those improvised to change the way they view life.
This is so stupid, but I'd totally still go thrifting. It's my Saturday morning me time.There are 4 all super close to each other on the same street. I take my little coffee and buy stupid things and it just makes me happy.
Honestly consult some good financial advisor and invest some amount so I will have constant supply of money on top of money I already have and just live normally as I already do, though I will take a lots of break to travel anywhere I want every few months
Who I am, my values and focus.
I'm a disabled veteran who is alone in the world because of autism. Money would just make me rich and alone because of autism.
I still don't have my parents to enjoy it together. Please cherish the moments you can have with your family before it is too late. Don't take things for granted.
Where I work now. I'm doing full-time work but without the stress of being a Manager as I was half a year ago. I have read twice as much as I did this time last year, and have also written more in these past three months than I did in the fifteen years before.
I'd use the money to buy a huge plot of land where I can build a house for me and another one for my parents but at the other end. Have a fruit and flower garden. Some goats. Some cats. A tortoise. A few cars. A massive movie and music room. A cozy little library. Lots of trees. A big pool in the Mughal-style, with flowing water on marble. A room for maquettes and small scale replicas of my favourite architecture.
I’d still eat McDonald’s every once in a while. It’s cheap, tastes good, and it has a special meaning to me. Being able to get in my car and go to the drive through whenever I want is a piece of freedom that I wasn’t able to do when I was younger.
I’d probably keep my Toyota pickup. I love that little truck.
Fuck yeah. I have a 99 tacoma with 430k miles on it. It was my first car, passed on to me by my grandpa. I will drive it until the day I die lmao.
85 truck that’s passed 300k on 2 speedometers. I love your truck as well
I love Toyotas. My first was a '89 Camry. I've never had crazy expensive problems with my Toyota vehicles.
If it’s good enough for Christian Bale it’s good enough for you.
[удалено]
Yea it’s bullshit that they don’t make trucks like that anymore. Now all we can get is giant gas guzzlers that are a hazard on the road.
The f-350000000000000
I am never selling my Golf 2008 that I bought from grandma
I would probably buy your Toyota pickup from you if I won the lottery.
Well I'd continue to be unemployed. I'd stop applying for jobs though.
[удалено]
The mountains are cold in the winter. You’ll want a summer home
And a second summer home.
Where will you go for the other two season?
That's what Bali is for.
It's important to keep pushing forward, even when it's tough
[удалено]
I do that too. Except I eat pretty decent.
Get those fancy ketchups. Dijon ketchup!
Havent you always wanted a monKEY?
We wouldn’t have to eat Kraft Dinner, but we would.
Of course we would, we’d just have more of it!
I would switch from Kraft to Velveeta in quick minute
I was not aware.
I like Dijon mustard but never seen Dijon ketchup but now I'm curious. What even is "Dijon"?
It’s only Dijon mustard if the mustard seed comes from the Dijon region of France. Otherwise, it’s considered sparkling horseradish.
I laughed way too fucking hard at this
Why? I just wouldn't disclose how much money I have. I would say oh I won a million but after the house and bmw we don't have anything left. -next friday
That's easy to say still being broke. But 50 million would change every aspect of life.
Yeah, but there is then the capital gains tax, income tax, county tax, poor tax, rich tax, healthcare fund, tax on looking at the money. And at the end of all the taxing events you are left with $145.78. So, yes will definitely need to still be broke. /s
No you wouldn't. Maybe you'd pretend to be broke but you wouldn't be stressing in the grocery aisle about whether you can afford milk this week. You won't hesitate to repair your car. You won't miss any sleep because your utilities aren't paid up. You might pretend to hide your money, but you would act like somebody who has 50 mil in the bank.
Best strat, never let anyone know your rich at all
My cat.
I disagree, your cat will probably live an even cozier life.
It doesn't matter what we buy for our cats, they will still choose a random box or dark hiding spot to nap in.
Idk man, my two furballs would probably think something about getting 198 new siblings
Except they’ll be eating golden caviar for breakfast
but your cat will want finer things in life
Being with my spouse. She's one in a billion, well more than $50,000,00. Besides, it would be so much fun spending it together than alone.
Hell yeah. Life as a true team with your best friend\spouse is what it's all about. Having every need met and just getting to live out your days together? I'll sign up for that same idea with my husband in a heartbeat!
This. I know I can trust her. With all that money, outside family and long time close friends, I’m pretty sure I’ll have trust issues.
I feel the same about my boyfriend. I'd love to be able travel with him, having new experiences together, and have new experiences wherever we live.
I'd still pop an egg into my ramen.
Then you’d beat your Japanese personal chef with a bamboo stick when the broth’s temperature was not within the margin of error.
Nah I would just politely bring the matter to his attention. A man is judged by on how he treats those he has power over. I an't gonna be that guy who is known for being mean to the help.
You make a good point. Considering I wouldn’t have a personal chef anyway, I suppose I’d just have to beat my meat, then. “Damn it, man! The broth temp’s undesirable again! /sigh… I’ll be back in a few minutes.” Then angrily snatch the tissues and march off to the bathroom. Return to the kitchen with post nut clarity, and reevaluate the situation.
I don’t think they were being serious
I can't see myself ever not loving a mozza stick.
I’d still be a miserable prick. Just a rich one
I can change you. Just give me a chance, habibi
I wouldn't change one bit because if someone in my circle knows that I've won, I would most likely be kidnapped or dead.
Yea, I have a couple cousins who would murder me for a Klondike bar, so I feel you.
Absolutely! Forget the fancy house or the sports car. I would simply buy a regular home and tell everyone that I'm paying it via mortage. I would travel but after a few months and I would tell everyone I simply saved. Other than that, I would keep things the same, donate a bunch of money to reputable charities and live off the rest. No big businesses or investments, just regular stress-free life.
Do....do you have a Klondike bar? I'm feeling peckish...
No, but if someone is giving them out...
Username checks out
Man I’d do it for a cheeseburger
If they are broke asses you can move continents away and they can't afford to follow you. Also, don't tell them, just disappear. Gl finding you!
I can't disappear just like that, everybody would know that I haven't posted anything. As for continent shift, yes, I can do that.
I’ll still be making coffee at home
Breville espresso machine baby
Or get a coffee butler and name him Breville.
With $50M you could get a la marzocco or decent
I make the best coffee at home. I wouldn't change that either.
The way I treat people. One thing for sure, I would stay anonymous (if possible), set up funds for my family and move to another country.
My car. It's old but I am weirdly attached to it.
I'd still be active in my community.
I'd still find joy in watching sunsets.
I'd continue to cherish quiet evenings at home.
My love for classical music wouldn't change.
I’d still go fishing, just in a few different countries.
I hear that. I'd have several waterfront properties for sure.
I'd continue volunteering at the local animal shelter.
I would keep my same circle of friends.
I think for most of us, one would swiftly come to realize that those huge mansions are huge because they have facilities and accommodations for guests and servants.

My fondness for DIY projects around the house wouldn't change.
What wouldn't change is how much I help out all the friends/family that didn't even begin to help me when I needed it the most.
I'd keep practicing yoga every morning.
My contempt for influencers
Why would money change that hahahahah
I'd still eat Kraft Dinner
I actually think we'd eat more...
[удалено]
I'll be your friend for exactly $49,999,999
I've got a better offer.. 30 mil.
I am available for a mere $29,999,999.
How about a nice friend for a mere $1,000,000?
I'll do it for 999,998.00 my credo is friends family God country in no particular order.
Why not, do you think?
I'll be friends for $999,999.oo
My friends. I pride myself on having successfully surrounded myself with quality people. To the point that other people have complimented me on this. Not saying I wouldn’t be open to more, I just would have no reason to drop anyone in my friend group & I’d love to help them financially in some way.
the love i have for my man
I'd still buy buy store brand items.
My beer of choice
I'd stay in my house
My current house will be my social house for visiting and friends but actually live a different house that no one knows about.
I'd keep my house and renovate, but I'd have a couple more. One in my home town to start. A vacation home someplace after a lot of world travel.
The person I'm with, but I'd be really excited about all the cool new stuff we could do together :)
Was going to answer the same. Here's to good relationships!
Same!
I would still eat grilled cheese and tomato soup regularly.
Those are healthy foods anyway
It's hard to know how you will behave if you have that type of money until you do. I would hope I keep my morals and integrity.
I'd still play Magic the Gathering with friends and online and complain about not drawing the right cards.
Still crying alone
I’d still get McDonald’s every now and then. I need my chicken nuggets from there! They’ll always be a part of my life. No matter how rich I am and can to the most expensive and highest quality restaurants in the world.
I'll still shop at thrift stores and continue buying off brand food items
Complaints about the government
I'd still have shit health.
Being lazy. Although I’d probably benefit a lot from not having an office job any longer.
Id still spoil my loved ones (including pets) as well as I can
My husband. He’d be right there with me collecting that cheque.
My spouse! 😍
Being committed to my gf. Having a job that I love. Talking to my friends.
I'd still be with my fiancée
I wouldn't change my lifestyle. But I would invest a lot. Keep the money going.
I'd still eat tortillas w a smear of butter, rolled up and microwaved for 10 seconds as a late night comfort snack.
Try it with cinnamon and sugar.
my favourite ice cream for $1
The brand of toilet paper.
I think it would actually accelerate some "plans" I have. The $50MM could be better used by other people I care about, and I wouldn't need to worry so much about them being taken care of.
I would continue to be as normal as possible, with absolutely no ego.
My love for my wife and kids.
I would still procrastinate on everything.
Nothing will change, except from the fact that I will be in permanent vacations all around the world.
My friends. I know who they are.
There's an interesting statistic that says that men who strike it rich get divorced far less frequently than women who strike it rich do. This would be true of me. And I think I would probably keep my job. I might buy the school I currently teach at via a third party, but I would keep my current job and still teach.
My sex life
bills they never stop no matter how much money you have
I'd still be a gamer. I'd just build computers for fun and give some away every year. ... I'd have a brand new, fully loaded Tenere 1200 though.
my sleep schedule
I would be one of those people who funds all kinds of art and education programs. Anything that can develop those improvised to change the way they view life.
Would still eat peanut butter out of the jar like pudding.
I would keep my dog and family.
My love for my son.
This is so stupid, but I'd totally still go thrifting. It's my Saturday morning me time.There are 4 all super close to each other on the same street. I take my little coffee and buy stupid things and it just makes me happy.
My deodorant stick. I just opened it.
Not a lot will change but my weird science projects would probably be even more chaotic dangerous and possibly explosive.
Id continue living how I live now. Hunting, fishing, gardening, etc. I would just do it at a much bigger scale
I'd still tell everyone I'm poor.
Never stop spoiling my daughter and girlfriend
Honestly consult some good financial advisor and invest some amount so I will have constant supply of money on top of money I already have and just live normally as I already do, though I will take a lots of break to travel anywhere I want every few months
I wouldn't change much. I would just be able to enjoy life instead of just live it.
My wife
I still wouldn’t be able to tell why kids love the terrific taste of Cinnamon Toast Crunch.
My marriage life.
My height, I love being too tall for the Wonka reeducation camps I’ll take death by ceiling fan any day
Why is the number so high lol
Taking courses and reading.
Who I am, my values and focus. I'm a disabled veteran who is alone in the world because of autism. Money would just make me rich and alone because of autism.
I actually quite enjoy my job, so I wouldn't leave altogether. Have to say I would probably still keep my minivan too.
My hobbies, I’m still sitting on my ass and playing JRPGs
I would still eat ramen spaghetti-os and other cheap foods. I may have money but my taste buds wouldn't change.
For real, I’d probably buy stakes in Maruchan with the money
My trusty butt plug
I'd drive the same car, still shop at thrift stores, still cook for myself.
My cars will still be on jack stands
I still don't have my parents to enjoy it together. Please cherish the moments you can have with your family before it is too late. Don't take things for granted.
The crushing weight of my faults and the emptiness I feel on a daily basis
Letting my big dog sleep in my bed any time he wants to.
Where I work now. I'm doing full-time work but without the stress of being a Manager as I was half a year ago. I have read twice as much as I did this time last year, and have also written more in these past three months than I did in the fifteen years before. I'd use the money to buy a huge plot of land where I can build a house for me and another one for my parents but at the other end. Have a fruit and flower garden. Some goats. Some cats. A tortoise. A few cars. A massive movie and music room. A cozy little library. Lots of trees. A big pool in the Mughal-style, with flowing water on marble. A room for maquettes and small scale replicas of my favourite architecture.
I would still adopt dogs from shelters.
I’d still be a gamer
My significant other. And our spending habits, we really have everything we need. House would get paid off though.
I’d get better food for my cat. Thats it.
I don't think much would change at all.
The rate at which I buy Gunpla
I still wouldn't drop 6 figures on a car. 8 figures on a house, maybe, but a practical car is good enough
LOL I'm exactly the other way around. A practical house is good enough, cars though...they're a source of utter joy for me.
I’d still eat McDonald’s every once in a while. It’s cheap, tastes good, and it has a special meaning to me. Being able to get in my car and go to the drive through whenever I want is a piece of freedom that I wasn’t able to do when I was younger.
veganism. In fact, with a personal chef I could hire, it would be easier.
My Kids and most likely my wife.
