Inspired by my homie Brian and the topic "What people would do for money"....What would you do if you were a Rich Girl or Boy? 😛

I'd buy a block of condos and fill in my family/friends all over. And get some charities going and travel alot likely. Maybe start my own Film/Record companies and all kinds of fun things 😀

Cain: The Legend should be the first movie you produce.

I would do pretty much all of these plus I really like your idea of starting your own Film/Record companies.

I'll just add that I would create a Joss Whedon tv channel that would air Joss alumni projects as well as his own creations.

nice...Joss TV!
I'd buy up the blocks around my work so we wouldnt have whinging neighbours who have nothing better to do with their time but complain about a charity organisation!
 
I'd pay off my family's medical bills, then buy my mom and dad a house large enough for my mom to have her craft room, my father to have his library, and my brothers to all have their own room. Then I'd put some money into college, some money into my future house, some into travel, some into random flowers for Spikey (and other things), and then save the rest until needed... assuming I still had any money. ^^

Take a cab to go shopping instead of walking or taking the bus, and buy a new SOTA gamer-optimized computer every year. Aside from that, I doubt I'd live much different with a couple million bucks on my account than without them (except knowing then that I won't, ever, be needing the state again to pay for my needs). I'm really one of those peeps who are so content sitting in their room that wouldn't know what to spend all the extra cash on, lol. I'd probably end up making a few per-month donations to charity just to prevent the money from just lying there piled up. 😀
 
I would give my Mom tons of money for everything she's done for me. Donate money for breast cancer, kids charities, and any other charities that really need it, buy all the books and dvds I could think of, buy all my friends presents, and put money toward college.
 
Everybody has different things that they would do if they were rich. Some people would buy a huge home, expensive cars, jewelry, property all over the world, etc. However, what many people forget is that when you are rich, you face a responsibly, and the responsibility is to help others. Yes, if I were rich, I would buy a nice home, but nothing to extravagant. I would also pay off any debts that I may have and that my family may have. However, those are not the main things that I would do if I were rich. If I were rich, there are three things that I would do.

The three things that I would do are open up three non-profit organizations. One organization would be devoted to helping the police search for missing children and adults, so that they can be found and returned to their loved ones. The second non-profit organization would be going around and discovers the talents of homeless people, of which then they would be placed in jobs based on their talent.. And finally, for the third non-profit organization I would open up an organization that Save the Children's Presence in Africa

The first organization that would be devoted to helping find missing people would have a wide range of people to assist. Most of the people I would hire would have some law background, such as criminal justice majors, retired law enforcement and military, and those who have had a loved one go missing on them. I think that too many people go missing on a day-to-day basis and no one deserves that. The person who goes missing and the loved ones they leave behind do not deserve that. There are too many people missing and not enough manpower to find them; therefore, this non-profit organization would assist with that.

The second non-profit organization would be devoted to helping the homeless. My vision of this is to create a Television reality show in which a crew goes around various places and asks many of the homeless to demonstrate their talents, and based on those talents, they would then be placed in well paying jobs or get hired for my organization. There are too many homeless people out there who deserve help, regardless of any past decisions that they have made. Everyone deserves a second change, and a chance for redemption and a chance to be helped. Everyone needs a helping push sometimes.

Finally, the third non-profit organization would be devoted to Save the Children's Presence in Africa - Health and Nutrition, Adolescent Development and HIV/AIDS plus sponsor as many children as long as my cashflow allows.

So, there are the things that I would do if I were "rich". Just like every human being, We all have free will. I'm not what superhero, I’m speaking from experience, by experience I mean I experienced how they live and how they survive during an overnight trip to the Africa, together with few of my social workers - their golden voice inspired me.

very nice...if i get rich i'll make sure we hook it up
Help my parents pay off their dept first and foremost. Help my sisters out for college. Help myself out for college. Buy pretty stuff for my Tabby. Buy a plane ticket to NZ to visit my lovely Sav. Save it?
 
I'm taking this as me being really obnoxiously, stinking rich. If that was the case.

I'd buy my parents and my older sister new houses.

I put money aside for my younger sister so she can get a real nice house house when she is ready for it.

I'd also set up trust funds for my niece and nephew for college.

I'd probably buy each of them cars too.

And then I would take us all on massive, no expense spared trip to Disney World (my niece has been asking me to take her since she was 3).

Once my family was looked after, what I would really love to do is set up a school. I have this vision of how I would have liked to have been educated and I'd really love to see it through. Preferably in here

or somewhere else that looks like Hogwarts! 😛
 
I'd get myself and my family out of debt and make sure that all my sisters could go to college.

AND FUND FIREFLY! Seriously if I had a ridiculous amount of money, like Bill Gates. That's totally what would be going down.

That's kind of like a charity right? 😛

funding Firfely farma... uh, karma! :D
Pay of my mums debt that my dad caused her. I worry a lot about that. Pay of my and my husbands student loans. Buy a fancy apartment in Gothenburg to live in/make sure I'd have a fixed income if things went bad. And yeah... I would probably pay of my dad's debt too... although I'm not sure about that. If I would have any money left after that I would buy fun things like furniture, clothes and books and lots of presents to my friends. 🙂 I would also want to give to charity. LGBT and feminism issues is dear to my heart so maybe something like that.
 
I'd pay off my tuition fees, buy a new house for my parents and then get one for me in Bath or the posh part of Bristol. I'd then buy myself a place in London as well so I wouldn't have to share with anyone when living at uni.

I'd love to open a cafe that's also a record shop and make it one of those places people can go to to just relax and find new music over some coffee (or whisky).

And Emmy the Great could be your cafe's "House Band!"
Depends on how rich but these I'd like to take care of my families (parents, siblings and my)debts are paid and make sure they don't have to worry about money ever again. Buy them all something nice and do a trip together.

Money over?

Upgrade my personal stuff. My computer is litterly falling apart, more or less ancient tv, dvd-player and a "nicer" phone would be nice.

I'm a collector so adding lots of stuff to my collections and staritng from scratch with something new. Need to be a bit selfish.

More and better clothes and shoes. I sure need it.

Moving to a bigger apartment so I can have a guest room.

Some kind of charity. All depends on how much money I'd have but at least a foster child (?) in another country.

Set aside money for a future day. Unless I have so much that it'll never ever be a problem.

Treat my friends well moneywise. No need to spoil them too much, but neither being cheap. I know who are my friend for being me, new friends because of money no thanks.

"It'll never happen" rich. Having a house with a great garden + people taking care of it, tennis court, gym, spa + pool, bowling lanes and my own cinema (No annoying people 😀). Having people clean and make me food sounds nice too. I wonder though if I'd ever get used to such life. Would feel weird.

I misread the last paragraph as "having people [B]clean me[/B]" and thought, whoa dude, that's decadent... oh. Not "me". Ok then. :lmao:
If I were rich, I wouldn't have to worry that sometimes, my whole paycheck would go to fixing the pumpkin. 😛

Also if I were rich I'd also save my money and spend it wisely.😛 Like paying fix the pumpkin when I needed to.

Also be able to afford to move into an apartment (If I were rich.).😀

So if "pumpkin" = Car, then that doesn't sound that rich:(
To quote Veronica Mars, "I'd be the best rich person. Seriously. I'd be the perfect combination of frivolous and sensible. Money is so wasted on the wealthy."

I'd buy a small farm for my parents so that my mum can have more space for all the animals she wants, and a proper vegetable patch and enough money so that neither of them have to work anymore. I'd buy my older sister a new house and pay for the wedding of her dreams - I know that while the one she's planning now will be beautiful, there are a number of things she'd like that she is going without. She is also working two jobs at the moment, so I'd give her enough money that she can give up one of them. I'd buy a house for myself - small enough to maintain but large enough to have big celebrations in at Christmas. And a small flat nearby for my younger sister, and again enough money that she can cut down her hours at work. I'd give my best friend enough money to get her started on the property ladder, because I know she'd love to be able to buy/renovate/sell on properties. Then I'd go back to college and possibly university in some fashion-related field, resulting in me opening my own very successful vintage clothing store, and spending many months a year out of the country sourcing vintage finds. I'd give money to charity, and would send people over drinks in bars and desserts in restaurants and pay for people's coffee who are queuing in Starbucks with me - small things that would put a smile on people's faces.

I think I put a little bit too much thought into this ... especially seeing as how I have £5 in my wallet currently.

love this.
I'd drop everything and go on a year long (maybe even two years) trip around the world. I would go wherever the wind took me and try and learn as much about humanity and different cultures as possible.

Then I would come back to the states and buy a gorgeous home in Washington DC and fill it with amazing art. I'd also make sure my family was well taken care of and would insist upon at least one big family vacation together a year.
 
I would design and build my own house. Nice and cozy but not too large. I don't need 30 bathrooms like most celebrities...

Plenty of charity work. Helping places like Haiti and Japan after natural disasters.

Money for my friends and family. I'd like to have a home for my parents and I would buy them an RV so they could retire and travel the U.S. (Or rather a jet so they could travel the world). My brother would get straight up cash to help him with his child. My niece would have a nice college fund.

I would travel the world with my sister.

I love your banner.
I would build a perfect house. I would buy a lot of clothes.

And I would give a lot of money to charity.

kittenpoker agrees: what would your perfect house look like?

It would be huge, cause I love big rooms. It would be a two story house, shaped like a castle, every room would have it's own bathroom and big closet. All things would be vintage, and there would have to be a huge back yard!
