Would you take up a new hobby? Would you try to learn to paint?.....Would you find a job for pay anyway? Would you try to help other people.
And would you come up with a new business to hire retirees?

I would do whatever it was that I wanted to do at that particular moment and it didn't take very much thinking.

I don't think I really need any more material goods, but I get the greatest satisfaction out of helping people. So I'd get my passport and travel to different parts of the world where help is needed. I'm a cook (500+) and I'm told I have a gift for comforting people. I've nursed a cancer patient until her death. I understand death, hunger, disease and God's Eternal Purpose. I'd give anything to be free to be a participant in that. But since I have only adequate financial resources, I give what I can, help where I can, and pray.

well if it were right now i would search everywhere for a cure for cancer (not chemo/radiation) and I would help my dad, he was diagnosed with lung cancer. Then i would treat my family to the world and i would be quite decadent about it i am sure. I would help anyone and everyone i could along the way and maybe start a great grassroots business with hemp because I believe it can solve many problems our society struggles with such as the air we breathe and using up fossil fuels, we could have hemp paper, clothes, fuel, and way too much to list. I would also collect all the books that i have always drooled over....I would build a library.

i've often thought about this on my own. i enjoy doing things for others. we take in exchange students, we sponsor a soldier overseas, we are thinking about fostering only teenagers one or two. i am a foster mom for exotic cats. so i probably would be doing something on a more higher scale, if i had enough money to last the rest of my life.
1. buy used cars and donate to low income, welfare families
2. donate time and $ to orphanages in 3rd world countries
3. adopt 2 teenagers
4. take in abused or neglected or old horses and retire them on some land,
5. the possibilities are endless
6. travel , rest and relax 6 mos. out of the year.

I would travel around the world, helping where I could and simple observing and learning where I could not. I wouldn't need to stay in any fancy motels or anything. I wouldn't mind sleeping outside or something. I would learn about the reality of a place, rather than what tourists see.

I will travel and be a philantrphist. There is too much of the world to see and too many people in need.

I'd also hire a personal trainer to punish this lazy body :)

After helping myself I would help family and select friends. I would also like to find some struggling but well deserving college students to help out. I would do a little traveling. I would love to take art classes and maybe some pottery classes.

Honestly, I would work harder. I would be able to help more people and travel to different states establishing more non-profit orgs. to help struggling parents and impoverished communities. It would be a true blessing.

I would also combat generational poverty...

I would put it in the bank to earn interest. I would live off of the interest, and I would leave it to a good cause when I died.
