Pay someone to organize all my stuff and buy the proper closets, boxes, etc everything. And bring my mom to where I live and give her a better life.

Buy a gaming PC and a VR headset, and then put all the money in investments and quit my job.

I’d buy the condo my wife and I are renting. We really love it and the owner wants to sell it, but our monthly payment would almost triple.

Id also get a modest car, like a Corolla and a house in the countryside.

I guess this is not too wild, so I guess I’d also by a server rack to selfhost random stuff.

Buy a house I like better. Get some large windows, better insulation throughout the house, some small degree of soundproofing between first and second floor, and pay for some serious landscaping in our yard.

Finish the home remodel. Then try to find the best approach to handle riches I guess. Taking care of the kids, getting them towards an exiting life. Support my wife with her entrepreneurial dreams. Make sure my mom is well.

Besides debt and housing I would just take my partner on a lot of trips and buy her a lot of gifts. It’s been a rough few years health-wise for her and it would be great to treat her.

That's a trick question. After the end of civilization as we know it, no amount of money will do anyone any good, and that end seems imminent. There will be no such thing as “fuck you” money; there will only be “might makes right”, and I am far from mighty.

That took a dark turn, you might be right though

I’ll pay all my debts and that of my parents and then start a new life in Hawaii

Go back to school start taking classes that actually interests me, instead of for a stable job.

Reminds me of a quote from the TV Show Billions.

“What’s the point of having ‘fuck you’ money, if you never say fuck you?”

  • Bobby Axelrod, Billions.

However to your question, live life the way I want. Simple as that.

Pay the new car I just signed for, buy a teardrop trailer and go camping out in Europe.

[–] ChickenButt@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I'd buy an old Land Rover series 2 or old Land Cruiser and drive around the high desert looking for shiny rocks.

[–] MrFusion@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Buy a delorean, eat sushi everyday, and give my wife whatever she wants because she's my angel and I love her.

[–] elskertesla@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Build my dream house with an architect. After that I would probably travel the world with friends and family.

[–] croobat@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Pay my parents retirement.
