What would you do if you got super rich?????

[eyesk8rboi]

Sorry if there's already a thread for this some where....I am just curious.

Let's delve into the age-old question....If you won the lottery, were left some ridiculous fortune, or honestly just worked so hard that you built you way up.....In your dream scenario, anything is possible, but what would you do if you just had insane amounts of money to do whatever you please with....Obviously I know most of us would get out of debt, pay to complete our transitions, etc.....But the not so practical things, what else would you do with it???!!

GO!!

I would:

• Make sure my parents were out of debt.
• Make sure my grandparents were out of debt.
• Pay for my parents and grandparents a really nice vacation of their choosing.
• Buy my grandfather a new truck, which he's desperately needed for most of my life, as is.
• Buy my girl all the finer things in life, everything her heart desired and a big shiny ring! Take her on a fancy vacation to NYC, Austin, Portland...we'd just hit one after the other!
• Restore my Dad's 73' Monte Carlo
• Take all of the lovely women in my life on their own personal dates to nice restaurants.
• Probs buy a nice two story house in the suburbs with a big fenced in back yard....a nice little fixer upper with room to customize until our hearts were content.
• Adopt all the cattos and puppers!
• Donate to animal shelters and children's hospitals all over the country.
• Buy fancy super hero costumes to go visit children in children's hospitals all of the country.
• Get back into the con and cosplay scene as much as possible.

I know it's a big list and there's honestly so much more I would probably do....Like we're talking insane, practically infinite amounts of money here!

If I had like a totally absurd amount of money I would set up some kind of program to help people who can't afford it pay for transition and surgery.

I would also fund a bunch of no kill animal shelters and low cost or free veterinarian clinics for people who can't afford medical care for their pets.

Perrrrrrrrffff!!!!

Of course, I'd get my bottom surgery. Then, I'd need to fulfill my mother's wish to have a house on ranch land in the middle of nowhere. The hubby needs his truck fixed,so it would be replaced. The local food pantry would be fixed up. It needs new floors and other work. The no kill animal shelters around here need serious work too, such as more space and workers, so they can be open for more than 2 days a week.

With moderate wealth, I would:
1. Get a divorce.
2. Move my aunt, my kids and I in to a house closer to my kids' school.
3. Get top surgery.

With super wealth:
The above 3 plus get my mom a new house.
Help fund advocacy to improve trans health care coverage in my province. The current multi year wait times for treatment are unsafe and unnecessary.

I have thought about this, as I am expecting a fairly generous inheritance in the next few years. In order, I would:

• Pay off any remaining debt.
• Put 6 months of expenses in the bank.
• Tell my boss to kick rocks. Quit my job. Move away from the cesspool of BS that is Washington, DC.
• Buy a sizable chunk of land and build a house on it.
• Pay my parents back for the cars they bought me as a teenager.
• Get some outside toys - an ATV, kayak, jet ski.
• Offer to pay off my parent's house (they would say no).
• Figure out and fund a profitable business venture in whatever location I end up so I can be self employed.
• Invest the rest and ideally live off the dividends?

I'm boring. The top 4 are current goals of mine that I want to accomplish in the next 5 years, so regardless of wealth they're being handled anyway. If I were super wealthy, I'd ultimately want to be a reverse tither but it's difficult for me to imagine any outcome where I would be that wealthy.

[FTMax]

Maybe that'll be my profitable business venture

Open shelters to provide housing and health care for homeless LGBT youth.

Pay off debt
Buy a new car
Build my home from scratch
Travel
Quit my job. I'd still be a graphic designer but now I can start my own business and call the shots. I'd also do public speaking in my spare time.
Last but definitely not least, I'd take care of my parents! Whatever they need, Ive got it. Yes this should be number one but either way they will be straight.

[KathyLauren]

Obviously finish transition with SRS, BA and FFS, voice lessons, etc.
Buy a new house for friends who run a dog rescue and need a new place.
Endow a fund for the dog rescue to provide for ongoing operating costs and vet care.
Take a vacation in Ireland.

[Artesia]

I would take care of my family.
I would work for a year after getting the money to allow for a sufficient build up of interest, and then live off the interest for the rest of my life.
I would use a bit for fixing my body, and then donate to Susan's Place, often and in large sums.
Spend my free time helping return rights to LGBTQ people
Buy my way into being the president, like Trump, but better and more equal/fair.  Okay maybe not this, but maybe pay for a grade AAAAA+++++ prosecution team to throw Trump in jail for the next 4000000000years.

Buy North Korea, and give it to South Korea as a gift.

Hey, if your gonna dream, dream big, right?

Interesting answers. A member of one of Asias wealthiest families I am personally very wealthy from my investment banking and from the family trust. Wealth carries responsibilities for me as the former eldest son in my side of this family. This has resulted in a very late transition to fufill my obligations. Many of the items you have all listed are easily completed. But here are some that I do to help others:

1. I have a foundation that helps tgs in Asia financially for surgeries and medical needs, paying for education and my team of the kindest people in the world, to just help as a friend or medical questions as we have a full time nurse and a doctor part time.

2. I am a very positive person, this greatly helps in ones outlook in life and I try to use this to have tg and other cis people to live life to the fullest. I believe in the goodness of people until they prove me wrong. Happy to say I have so many good and wonderful people in my life.

3. Very generous in having large dinners, parties and travels with friends. Life is no fun alone.

4. Wiser with age I dont show off with private jets, ferrari, boats and jewellery, like I used to as a male. Now a devoted buddhisr I seek to reduce my ego every day.

5. I have wonderful home all over the world. Now I just let family and friends use them. The joy of being able to let others enjoy life  give me pleasure.

6. I am a devout buddhist. Its difficult for God religions to understand what buddhism is but I live each moment to the fullest.

7. I live a very healthy life. I dont drink, eat healthy, exercise daily  (Thats me in the middle of the profile pic). Just completed a 10k run and finished with friends holding hands.I encourage other to pursue a healthy life.

8. I am 69 years old. Age is not a barrier to living a positive life and I want to be the example for the older generation. Age is only a number, youth is in our minds and our actions.

Wealth is wonderful and even more so when you help others every day.I hope that when you become wealthy you give back to society.

Great question and common discussion topic at home! 

I agree with the consistent theme of attaining that comfortable transition position.

It would also be great to provide my family some nice gifts and setting up a safety net.

The value of working to attain is so essential that I'd be hesitant to attempt to gift success.  Unearned success feels shallow. 

On that same theme, with sufficient funding, a foundation set up to empower the many would be great.  I like Warlockmaker's idea of making a contribution.

It really just warms my heart and makes me so happy that everyone would be willing to take of their families. <3

I didn't put that down because it's pretty much a given. But I would take of my family of course.  It would be fun to make my brother my personal slave in order to get his money.  I'm kidding of course. It does make a interesting scenario though....... Lol

You should definitely do it though! I would if I had siblings. (I mean I have lots of halves because my biological father is um....fertile....but I'm not close to any of them. If I WAS though...You bet!)

Drop off the grid, buy an Island nature preserve in the Pacific near Aus and live on it. Or maybe I'd set up a base in Antarctica. Or maybe just live on a large boat.

I could get involved in politics but... if the last 5 years is anything to go by, there's no point. It's entirely cyclical. What goes around comes around again. They never learn.
