Buy a farm, raise mastiffs, Clydesdales and Percherons, travel the world and invest in a street food truck. Always wanted one.

Tough question, because SO much of my life went into suspended animation when I started developing GAD and MDD.
One thing for sure---I'd parcel up some money for friends who have been going without for far too long, and hopefully ease the stress they've been feeling. I'd travel. I'd also start a business (home-based), and get back to a few hobbies I had to abandon so long ago. I would hook up with favourite charities and do as much work as I possibly could for them, AOAP----and also make a priority out of following, and perhaps contributing to, Mental Health Initiatives (and research) here, and in the States. |

I'd start an animal rescue/rehab/sanctuary and education center. Dogs and parrots mostly, but open to any animal in need. And I'd offer tons of classes for people to make them better pet-parents.

I would-
-Buy my mom a new car & new house, make sure all of her bills were paid & she had someone whom is able to help her when she needed it (she is in her 80's)....(I would move FAR away  ).-Buy a house on a beach with as much land as I could have around me. -Start an animal rescue. Provide a free spay & neuteer program. -Find a T I like and have T a few times a week. Find a personal trainer & work out. Eat "cleaner". -My day to day life would basically be the same, except I would be at the beach....but now I would have T & a personal trainer. __________________ KIRBY  DXS: MDD, PTSD, GAD.  .

Nvisible1.I , to , am against breed specific discrimination & legislation. I happen to love and own a "dangerous" breed of dog...She is is SWEETEST girl, as were to rescues I have owned. I specifically will ask to pet "Dangerous breeds" when I see them. A tangent~Last yesr I was walking my dog & a lady said to me, "is that a certain dog". And I said "Yes". I am proud of how well my dog walks & usually people admire how pretty and well groomed she is . Lady-"That type of dog ate a child in whatever town, I stay away from them", and she made a face.Me-"well a man left his baby in a hot car and cooked the baby to death, it is all over the news. I suggest you stay away from them as well!!".

I've been playing the lotto lately with real hopes of winning (but full awareness of it's unlikelihood).. here's what I would do (in no specific order):
1. Buy the house across the street from my parents in the country. 2. Buy a Tesla! 3. Buy a Cadillac Escalade for the winter & long trips! 4. Buy a CNC router and other guitar making tools so I could start my own little online business 5. Buy all of my siblings houses near me in the country and new cars. 6. Help out the rest of my family 7. Start a charity to help low-income families and children 8. Become a green machine.. get my family converted to solar/wind energy and start spending money to help get the community clean and liter free there's more, obviously, but you get the idea! |

I would travel a lot.
I would go to concerts. I would be a beautiful house in England. I would take classes to learn other languages. I would probably do some charity work, probably with animals. |

Ooo, we're talking rich people money!
Then I'd buy a brand new car, the hell with the value dropping the moment you drive off the lot. Get mom a suite at one the really nice assisted living places. The ones that do the chief quality cooking and have one to one help and great on site medical help. She's in her late eighties and deserves some pampering. Pay off my daughter's mortgage and buy her a new car too. __________________ Nammu …Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself.

I'd buy myself a private island with everything I could possibly need to survive by myself, then I would give the rest away to my family and charity and just disappear.

I'd pay for the rest of the legwork and legal fees so I could get my business underway.
Make sure the kids (two of them) each had a decent car. I'd get myself a nice new ride too. Donate the other cars to charity after getting them fixed. Pay off my debt. Volunteer at the local animal shelter. Buy a house. Go on my 1st post divorce vacation.

I would be doing this https://skfb.ly/FvWq
I don't think I would help people though, I'm my life I can count on one hand the times someone has been there for me when I needed something. And I'm done with the helping others part of my life. |

I would give it all away to a woman im in love with in hopes shed come back and neither of us would ever have to worry again. runaway some place nice. some place good. leave all troubles behind.
in short i would try to buy love. worth a shot. if it wouldnt work i'd be the same unhappy guy just with more money. It would just serve as a constant reminder of all the things i could be doing if i werent alone. But it would solve some stresses. Few less worries. But i dont think it would bring happiness. |
