    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

      Depends how rich were talking about. A million euros in cash allows lots of confort and I would consider that “rich”, but would hardly count that as corrupting money.

    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.

    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.

      You wouldn’t have to work hard. You could build a great big house with rooms by the dozen, right in the middle of the town. …if you were a wealthy man.

      I’d have one long staircase just going up and one even longer going down.

      And one more leading nowhere just for show.

    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

    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.

    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.
