What would you do if suddenly you became very wealthy?
If by accident I become very wealthy.
I would build an artist retreat in the woods, with half a dozen cabins, and a big house with shared kitchen and library. Plus workshops and studios. Then invite artists to stay six months or so, free, and create work. Then collectively the artist in residence would pick the next group.
I’ve thought about this A LOT.
1) Pay off my bills, incl student loans
2) Set up retirement/investment accts
3) Pay back $ family has supported me with
4) Move to Spain or Portugal
5) Set up annual contribution's to non-profits
6) Hire a chef & cleaning company
7) Purchase a new DSLR to replace my ancient one + lenses + set up my own darkroom
8) Take a year or longer trip to every country in the world
9) Financially help friends and family who need help.
@see_the_sus @corlin oh yeah. Definitely the student loans. Hell if I had Elon money I'd go back to school for the hell of it. I love learning. But I'd have to have housing set up before that. It's amazing to me how much a few thousand dollars could ligit save so many of our asses, but bazillianaires waste bazillions on stupid crap like large impossible boats.
