What would you buy if money were no object?

I would buy a summer cabin up near Telluride Colorado which would also include a luxurious RV with the price of the cabin (it's my fantasy). Live in the cabin during the summer, stay at my current home from around Thanksgiving through February and spend the rest of the year touring around in my RV.

Hey we could meet up somewhere in an RV park and start a caravan to go cross-country! Be prepared to stop at Mom & Pop diners for most meals... that's been a dream of mine since I was a teen. (y)

I agree about the Mom and Pop diners ! No franchise places allowed ! If we waited we could even get self driving RV's !

Are There any Self-Driving RVs Available?
 
Aside from all the boring stuff like helping family and friends ....

I'd buy a big penthouse flat with views over the City. It would be just like the ones you see in films, the ones where rich gangsters live, where they stare menacingly across the skyline while ordering murders and pizza - or is it pizza before the murders - whatever the etiquette for menacing crooks is 🤷‍♀️

It would be great if it had a big private terrace or roof garden so I could have an outdoor gym. It would have to have a concierge who'd ring me if I had a visitor, parcel or pizza delivery.

If ever someone asked me how I got so rich, I would say "If I told you, I'd have to kill you" because it just wouldn't sound so good if I said "Oh, I got lucky with a scratch card in Tesco" 🤭

My Daughter had that very thing ( dogs, cats & the occasional horses) in Southern Spain for 12 years....

I'd give homes to my kids, or the cash equivalent, I'd probably buy a rental or two condos to save for a couple of my friends I'm worried have not quite planned for the future. Rent it out to them dirt cheap when the time comes. Buy one for myself, naturally. Buy some apartment buildings and hire a lawyer to do all the rigamarole to turn them into Senior Housing and/or low income housing.

Hire private security to fight off the real estate lobbyists harassing me because I dared to screw up the apartment market by designing cheap units. ("She's not a team player setting her rents so low!" And to that I say, "I'm on a team. I'm on the low-income team and always will be no matter if I win the lotto or not.")

If I were really rich, I mean more than a few million left over after all this home buying, then I'd simply repeat this in many states. Seniors are living longer, many Senior women are single for a variety of reasons and have no plans to remarry, there is a serious need for small-size Senior housing. ALL the experts say this!

I'd hate all the B.S. regulations in every place I'd have to work through with each conversion, so I'd have to hire a lawyer or legal firm to manage it all.

I was just reading the local newspaper yesterday and the homeless numbers HAVE INCREASED in the past year. I forget the exact number, but I think there's between 500 and 800 homeless Seniors (62+) in my county alone.

Can America even call itself a sane, mentally well Democracy when we allow that to happen? Pundits postulate on "What is wrong with America?" every time there is a mass shooting, but the politicians, both parties, let homeless Seniors die on the streets every day and have NO CONSCIENCE at all about that. What's wrong with America now, IMO, is that no one in power feels responsible for caring for anyone anymore, even as they accept taxpayer dollars all day long.

Then I'd travel, of course. With my scooter, LOL. The good scooters are really expensive - over $3,000. It's a lot.

I'd also help my kids and grandkid(s) with their goals, if they want me to. Set aside a big chunk so the grandkids can go to the Rich Kid Colleges, if they want to.
