Visit family more often

answer will vary wildly depending on if "because of money" means "because you don't have infinite money" or "because you don't have a little more money".

if I had infinite money, obviously there's all kinds of things I'd do, like buy a mansion in a warm climate or something

if I had a little more money, it wouldn't make much of a difference

I would ensure all kids have 3 meals a day, somewhere safe/warm to live, and pay people to care for them (kind people).

I would provide free medical care for everyone in the entire world and fund as many people who were willing to work on creating new cures.

I would hire a ton (as many as were willing again) of programmers to create the best/coolest VR MMO ever imagined and make it pay REAL MONEY, so players could play it for a living. I would also hire many
people to work on improving the tech of VR and creating a full virtual experience.

I would fund research on creating plant based meat that tastes BETTER then beef, replace all gas cars with electric ones and put solar panels (for free) on every house, to provide free energy for everyone.

Finally, I would fund serious space exploration and terraforming programs, starting initially by creating a large space station which could actually build ships etc, then creating similar stations on the moon (along with mining operations) and then once both were done, I would use the resources mined on the
moon to create a fleet of ships (bringing tons of extra equipment/water/plants etc) to mars (20+ ships, with only half them being used for the people going, and the rest as backup). I would aim to have a
large number of domes on mars and mining operations going there within two decades.

Anything

Have dignit and value as a human being in a capitalistic society.

I'm poor, but I've never felt like I've gone without.

But if I had insane money there's weird stuff I'd do, like buy a Baseball/Hockey franchise or **** on the moon.

Let's see:
- Travel the world
- Buy a top of the range PC
- Buy myself a wife/lover
- Own my own business
- Buy all the video game stuff I want for life.

I have always wanted to own my own coffee shop,
Pay off my family's mortgages,
go to witcher school in Poland,
try that thing where a pod takes you to the edge of the atmosphere and drops you,
not sure about the last one, I think I am good with four.

Improve my local community
Create more affordable housing
Own and manage an apartment complex with complimentary Netflix for each apartment
Retire
Build really big robots

That, and better home care support, and a decent PA (not quite the same thing in disability as in business) when I need the help.

I could eat properly - there's a private company that does a local meals-on-wheels arrangement, only I can't afford to use them. That, and replace my busted fridge-freezer (I've been using a picnic cooler for the fridge part for 2 years now). Also my washing machine - having to trek to the laundrette every time I need to do laundry is exhausting.

If it were unlimited money, I'd put some of it into medical research, since there's so little being done into my primary chronic condition, and probably go for private treatment (the local NHS hydrotherapy pool is under renovation). I'd probably hire some help to finish decorating my apartment, and get a few more bookshelves. Find my sister a better flat, visit my stepmother more often. Maybe fund an actually accessible hotel near my dad. And pitch in on public transport and building accessibility in the UK in general. Then find some interesting and important projects relevant to the future of the human race, and help them out.

Only two things come to mind:

1. Travel. I dont even want to go on like luxurious vacations all the time, but Id love to go to New Zealand and it would be nice to be able to do it while Im still relatively young, but it seems like a very unrealistic goal because of cost and not having the paid time off of work Id like.

2. Not work my life away. For most the past thirteen years Ive been working six days a week and Im tired of it. Im finally taking college courses but I still feel unsure about if Ill actually be able to find something better with just an Associates (and by better I mean no more physical labor and only working five days a week). Plus the idea of starting over in my mid 30s is not appealing.
---

Nothing really comes to mind.
---

End world poverty.

Have my wife stop working because we wouldn't need her income anymore.

Spend a year traveling the world.

Be able to maintain and grow my business without constantly working.

Buy a second home in the USA so I can live there sometimes.

Money always gets in the way of everything.

I wish I didnt have any.

Enough money to get to Aspen
Enough money to get home
Enough money to eat
Enough money to sleep
Having to eek my way through life

I'm just sick and tired of being a nobody. I'm sick and tired of having nobody.

Travel
Pay off our home
Put a shitload of money into retirement
Upgrade our house (granite counters/ remodel/ fix up landscaping)
Quit my job

Buy a house
Buy a car

Nothing. Truly.

True happiness is fully appreciating what you already have. I'm thankful for the tiny home I bought this year and the blog I'm working on.

that isn't a guarantee with college, you could either have no job or be required to do a 50 hour job
everyone who is an adult pretty much works 50 hours unless they got lucky with their parents support or something

we actually had protections and a bare min of payment for salaries but that is all gone since trump took office, you could be making 12 bucks an hour and still have to work 10 hours past 40 with nothing extra
