If I were rich...

[fed1983]

What would you do, if all of a sudden, you became rich?

I'd make a trip round the world, first visiting Europe, then Australia and some islands in the middle of the ocean, the Philipines would do.
Then maybe going to the US to visit some friends there, and then to Cuba to know a different country and to see how everything works there, far away from wild capitalism.

Then I'd go back home and get high speed connection so I could spend more time in JUB

 

[Smitho]

It wouldn't change my life, except for the brand new 911 parked outside!

 

[JSB_01]

I agree with the traveling and the mansion! Seeing Europe and Asia would be awesome, and so would living in a nice home! I would of course give some to charity, too.
But, more realistically, I'd have to pay off my school loans. Darn reality!

Just had to do it:

If I were a rich man,
Ya ha deedle deedle, bubba bubba deedle deedle dum.
All day long I'd biddy biddy bum.
If I were a wealthy man.
I wouldn't have to work hard.
Ya ha deedle deedle, bubba bubba deedle deedle dum.
If I were a biddy biddy rich,
Yidle-diddle-didle-didle man.

I'd build a big tall house with rooms by the dozen,
Right in the middle of the town.
A fine tin roof with real wooden floors below.
There would be one long staircase just going up,
And one even longer coming down,
And one more leading nowhere, just for show.

I'd fill my yard with chicks and turkeys and geese and ducks
For the town to see and hear.
And each loud "cheep" and "swaqwk" and "honk" and "quack"
Would land like a trumpet on the ear,
As if to say "Here lives a wealthy man."

If I were a rich man,
Ya ha deedle deedle, bubba bubba deedle deedle dum.
All day long I'd biddy biddy bum.
If I were a wealthy man.
I wouldn't have to work hard.
Ya ha deedle deedle, bubba bubba deedle deedle dum.
If I were a biddy biddy rich,
Yidle-diddle-didle-didle man.

I see my wife, my Golde, looking like a rich man's wife
With a proper double-chin.
Supervising meals to her heart's delight.
I see her putting on airs and strutting like a peacock.
Oy, what a happy mood she's in.
Screaming at the servants, day and night.

The most important men in town would come to fawn on me!
They would ask me to advise them,
Like a Solomon the Wise.
"If you please, Reb Tevye..."
"Pardon me, Reb Tevye..."
Posing problems that would cross a rabbi's eyes!
And it won't make one bit of difference if i answer right or wrong.
When you're rich, they think you really know!

If I were rich, I'd have the time that I lack
To sit in the synagogue and pray.
And maybe have a seat by the Eastern wall.
And I'd discuss the holy books with the learned men, several hours every day.
That would be the sweetest thing of all.

If I were a rich man,
Ya ha deedle deedle, bubba bubba deedle deedle dum.
All day long I'd biddy biddy bum.
If I were a wealthy man.
I wouldn't have to work hard.
Ya ha deedle deedle, bubba bubba deedle deedle dum.
If I were a biddy biddy rich,
Yidle-diddle-didle-didle man.

I would invest in building a reasonabley big house... custom built... 4 bedroom or maybe just buy out a couple condos and do some construction... and rent out some rooms to friends.... i'd have an amazing master bathroom that would take luxury to the next level... i would have a heated green house where i would have my birds and turtle to live and a gardner to take care of it (for a kinda natural getaway in the middle of a big city)...

when that is all settled and done.. i would invest some money into a small store to keep me busy and set aside a good portion for savings...go to school part time for art.. since i wouldn't need a career in it.. I would only be doing it to improove my skills... then every year for vacation i would go somewhere different in the world for 2 weeks

 

[JakeBequette]

How rich?... Like set for life, or "I could blow this in a year if I really tried" gameshow rich?

If I was set for life, I'd buy myself a reliable car, nothing too show-offish, probably not even a car, I've always wanted a dark green ford f-150... ​

 

[BenF]

I'd build a Cathederal in the middle of Islamabad and play loud organ music four times a day.

 

[beafous]

I'd open a little art gallery in Paris

 

[Tongue_Me]

I'd buy the right to call myself a lady of the manor and spit down on people from my tower in the middle of London town whilst blowing raspberries at each common tart that dared pass me by.

 

[sheep]

I've always wanted a dark green ford f-150...

Hey, just gimme a 20 y/o F-150 or F-350 painted in primer with a diesel. Take off the bumpers and use a real heavy i-beam instead. If anyone gets in my way I'll show them who rocks. Let the insurance companies fight about it afterwards.

 

[dddog71]

I would have a nice log cabin built on the out skirts of my town. It would sit way back off the road so no on could see it. I would have to get a hummer H2 also for the winter time here. Travel to every place I ever wanted to go while my house was being built. I would also start my own online porn business. Then I would live happily ever after! LOL!

[nwdavis]

Lets see. I wouldn't quit my job right away, but I would be the employee from hell for at least 2 weeks.

1. I would buy my sister the mini van or suv of her choose. She has 3 kids and a stupid little car.
2. Set up trust funds for above mentioned children.
3. Send my parents on a month long vacation with the condition that if must be outside the US. They've only been on a vacation outside the US, and a caribbean cruise doesn't count.
4. Set up my in-laws with the housing of their chose.
5. Buy or build a house. Not too big, but big enough to have guests over for entertaining.
6. I would open one of these. http://www.cereality.com/main.php
7. And I would open one of these http://www.24hourfitness.com/. There is only 2 places to work out in my town and they are always crowded.
8. I would take the necessary classes to become a piolet.
9. Just for fun I would take classes at a culinary school.
10. Travel, travel, travel. I want to take a world cruise http://www.cunard.com/Destinations/default.asp?Region=14 Don't have to deal with packing and unpacking in hotels.

 

[buzzj]

I'd spend most of it on booze, fags, drugs, and man-whores,

...the rest I'd probably just fritter away.

Trust you to be all serious minded!

 

[gmoney]

I would travel the world. I've seen so little of it! I would build a house overlooking the ocean, another in the mountains. Then set up my family with enough to never worry about finances again. And invest in such a way that my money just keeps making more money.

 

[bigbott]

Buy a house. Give some money to my friends.

...ask Jonny Wilkinson to marry me!

Why of course, I should have expect "Fiddler on the Roof" - it is such a perfect choice.

BRAVO, BRAVO, ENCORE, ENCORE,



eM.

No idea at all. I'd be shocked at the thought of having so much money that I'd probably just sit back and take a week to think everything over. Of course I'd make sure my family and close friends are taken care of, but not sure what I'd do with it after that.

 

[sheep]

I would take my sister to the second hand store to get her some good serviceable warm clothing and a sleeping bag and a folding can opener so when she spends all of her (1st husbands) money she can live on a park bench eating beans with the lid of the can.

I think...... of all the posts here yours are the nicest.

I immediately knew you were not an American. I checked your profile to verify it.

Instead of the usual big house and car you wished for the more simple and important things in life. Like seeing the rest of the world and learning about other people and cultures. You also realize that capitalism might not be the best way.

And offcause all Americans have "high speed" of broad band internet.

Hope one day you can live your dreams

 

[shyboy]

hm.....

1. buy me a nice house
2. buy me a new car
3. take a long holiday with my friends
4. invest in my own business

that should probably be good enough
oh... finally... buy me a whole shop of clothes and perfumes lol
