If you suddenly...
 
...got filthy rich, how would you change your life?

Rob Instigator 07.24.2009 03:12 PM

I would never work for anyone ever again.

I would devote all my waking hours to painting in my studio.

StevOK 07.24.2009 03:13 PM

I would move to some place that isn't full of Republicans.

jon boy 07.24.2009 03:15 PM

buy my own bowling alley and fill half of it with pinball machines. i am hooked on both.

terriblecanyons 07.24.2009 03:16 PM

Move out, get an awesome apartment in Denver, buy a bunch of unnecessary guitar equipment, buy a recording studio, live happily ever after.

And buy a hooker for a night to play GTA with. Seems ironic, running over hookers with a hooker.

I'd buy crypto's studio

notyourfiend 07.24.2009 03:19 PM

I would eat gourmet sushi every day.

TheDom 07.24.2009 03:21 PM

I would relax... I would sit on my ass all day... I would do nothing.

Compared to everyone I know in real life.. family, friends, coworkers, enemies.. I am rich. I don't know about "filthy". But let me put it like this: The richer I've become, the more I realize I don't want anything that I have. Really, I don't want anything, period, and I'm constantly selling/getting rid of shit. I could quit my job at this very moment but I just don't. I dunno what compels me to keep going on. Granted, I'm not FILTHY rich, but I am well-off enough at this point where I could pretty easily not work for the next 2 years and still be able to pay for everything with no problem. I went through a time for a year where I didn't work at all, and that was awful. Even though I have dreams of becoming a famous avant-garde filmmaker or musician (ha ha ha ha ha.. right?), I dunno if devoting all my time to it is going to do anything more than just amplify my disappointment as I still am overlooked another time for someone with an art degree and "connections, maaaaaaan". Not that I'm that talented, but I certainly have more good ideas than half the assholes who get successful. So, really, devote my time to tragedy and nothingness? Eh. That might be fun, but that would be it, that's all I'd be doing. Working on new "art" products and then, eventually, "starving". It's difficult to truly make an impact on this world, because there's so much bullshit people have to wade through. And honestly, I'm not that great at getting my shit out there. I find the whole process tedious. Yeah, I'll drop some links or send some stuff over soulseek, but jesus... burning cd's/movies for people and driving 25 minutes to the post office, to wait in line, to spend money to send shit, and have to deal with all these nutso people all day? I dunno. I need to find someone to distribute my works for me more, but most people are unreliable or just aren't passionate. Not that I blame 'em.

But yeah, as for your question, if I became FILTHY rich... I'd probably just... be doing what I'm doing now.

artsygrrl 07.24.2009 03:30 PM

atsonicpark, you have always been one of the most logically honest on the board. Now...I hope you find your soul-mate.

godsfavoritedog 07.24.2009 03:35 PM

I'll tell you what I'd do man... two chicks at the same time, man.

 

infinitemusic 07.24.2009 03:39 PM

I would save/invest everything I needed to live comfortably, yet frugally, buy a few things, like a car a place to live, etc maybe some nice music equipment, pay my student loans and give the rest to various charities. The only thing I really wish right now is that I could give more. Either that, or I would start buying up businesses and news media, and create an actual liberal media that can fucking put the screws on assholes like Fox News.

floatingslowly 07.24.2009 03:41 PM

other than not having to work, it wouldn't change anything AT ALL.

I nah go switch

Rob Instigator 07.24.2009 03:46 PM

and knowing me, I woul end up giving much of it away to friends and family.

no fun being wealthy by yrself!

Conrad 07.24.2009 04:05 PM

Buy a mountain, and build a little crack shack to live in. Have about 10 dogs, and other farm like animals. There is going to be a nice little stream and swimming spot.

Oh yeah, and a big ass grow op.

dirty bunny 07.24.2009 04:20 PM

Get myself a nice place. Maybe spread some of my wealth around. Maybe start up a business of some sort so I'd have something to do with myself :)

gualbert 07.24.2009 04:25 PM

I'd pay a lot of taxes.

Satan 07.24.2009 04:40 PM

cryptowonderdruginvogue 07.24.2009 04:41 PM
