Thread: If I were rich and single...

LOL no not Hugh Hefner, just trying to get it all done before I get to old.

If I was rich and single, I'd learn how to and then tinker with everything. I love getting really involved in my hobbies. I've done computers, now on to razors; if I had the money, home entertainment systems, high performance cars (fabrication and tuning), and brewing would be on the top of my list. I know very little about each of these, but I'd love to play around and learn.

I would buy myself a deusenburg and a really big woodshop with every tool I could ever want, a few finishing rooms, then I'd build boats (I said a big woodshop) and guitars and spend the rest of my day relaxing and listening to music. I'd travel whenever I wanted (mainly for scuba diving).

Car fab isn't a big deal. I don't know a lot about tuning, but if rednecks can do it in their backyard, how hard can it be?

Brewing is something I'd love to try out. It'd be cool to brew a beer exactly to my taste. Then again, maybe that's not such a good idea

If I'd be (a bit) rich(er) and (still) single
I'd move to a better area. Something really boring with single houses that have a big garden around.
Of course I had a workshop and probably a lot more cats.

Mine would insist on coming along. She'd love it. That's why I married her though.

I'd start a tech company to work on the tech projects that I find interesting, and try to somehow make money off of it. But that wouldn't be the main goal. As long as I would have money to spare, I'd just enjoy myself.

I'd build a decent workshop with grinders, a vast collection of hones, and all the trimmings.
I'd build a dojo to my house so that I could train as much as I want.
I'd live in a large mansion btw, with dedicated rooms for my hobbies.
I'd have a housekeeping staff and a butler.
I'd have my own private jet so I could travel the world in style: visit US friends, visit honbu dojo in Japan, meet up with So in aussieland, ...
And I'd be a naughty boy of course

Hi all,

I'd prefer to be married with my family, I've been single, it was fun when I was younger. In terms of being rich I suppose in US speak that means a lot of money. I work with a guy who came from a country where being rich meant having a small motorcycle and shoes. It's all relative. Sometimes being 'rich' is the ability to be content with what you already have.

Yes, well, for the purpose of this thread, it didn't matter whether you are happy in your current context. The question was IF you were rich and single...

And as much as I love my family, IF I were single and filthy rich (like... Billionaire rich or at least a cool hundred millions) then... see 2 posts higher

If I were rich and single....

Now, if we are talking REALLY rich...(9 figures or above), I would train much much more in martial arts (freedom from work!), I would open a number of charitable organizations dedicated tot he causes that mean the most to me (animals, the environment, gay rights, "equality," and ultra high-end escort training and evaluation).

Just rich enough to not wrk, but not rich enough to own multiple jets and multiple 5MM plus mansions....I would just check out. Buy a nice place or three...one with lots and ltos of land in the middle of nowhere, where I could live and write and (again...) practice martial arts, and keep my toys (light sport aircraft, cars, etc), and a place near my families on each coast. Nothing extravagant. This dream would be doable with say 10MM total. (though 50 would make it easier!)
