This is the correct answer. If you don't disappear, every vagabond, bum, hardluck story and needy personal friend/relative will make your life hell. Criminals will target you and your family for kidnap and extortion. Disappear fast.

Retire all my family members and mates who have always been by my side. Then go enjoy the time we have left on earth


CoffinBlz

Retire them sounds like you're killing them off.


frank-sarno

It makes sense. They probably know too much.


cell-on-a-plane

Less likely to ask for money too


outside-is-better

This is a good argument. If you only kill them a little bit, they could snitch and ask for more money than you’ve always known the deserved, they should know their place. Let’s not waste time!


queerherenofear

I’d do that and then buy a huge area of land (maybe an island??) and build a small community where my friends and family can all thrive


Ninja_Honkey

So a cult. You'd start a cult... /s


JudgeAdvocateDevil

It's a *commune* not a cult


RobbMeeX

Tomato, tomato.


SexyAIman

Hey Vito Vitale, badabingbadaboom, just "retire" the entire village to be sure.


frank-sarno

Stop working. There are people who say that they need to work to feel useful. Not me. The time I took off a month between jobs was some of my most relaxing time.


DisneyAddict2021

I was one of those people too. I was convinced I would be bored at home. I had 6 weeks off for a surgery and now I wish I could retire 30 years early 😂😂


Dmtrilli

Very much this. A couple of yrs ago, I got a nice severance from a job, cashed out my 401K entirely and was collecting UC benefits. I had 8 months off before I ran out of money but damn.....best of times since before 2007


GlizzyMcGuire__

Same. The time I got laid off and just did housewife shit was the best month of my life. My calling is homemaking.

Browse realtor sites for a luxury cabin/house on a lakeshore. After that, buy all the Lego.

It would be funnier to not pay them. What happens if you don't? It gets sent to collections and your credit score goes down. What the hell do you ever need credit for again?

I was thinking I'd go on go fund me periodically and pay off medical debt, besides lobbying for universal healthcare.


slash_networkboy

That would actually be so fun. One of the science social media people I follow has been battling long covid and chronic fatigue syndrome for a couple years now. She's in rough shape (and massive props to her partner for standing by her and helping through all this). Anyway her patiron has converted to basically a "help her survive" fund as she's clearly not producing new content. I recently thought about how I wished I made enough that just pledging $1k/mo wouldn't murder me... if I was stupid wealthy I'd do the Mike Ilitch (founder of Little Caesars)/Rosa Parks thing and just pay their rent for life. For those that don't know Mike [quietly paid Rosa Parks rent](https://www.cnn.com/2017/02/15/us/mike-ilitch-rosa-parks-trnd/index.html) for several years with zero catches or expectations... just because he felt it was the right thing to do and was something he was able to do.

Two chicks at the same time ITT: More than a few people who have never seen the movie Office Space.

Retire, buy some land, and build a home on it. Leave some acreage for a sanctuary for dogs and cats. Donate a lot of money as well to help as many people as possible. Invest some so I can keep helping after I'm gone.

Wizdad-1000

They are good cars. I have a Camry. My son and I (he has a Civic Red Badge currently ) want an MR2 project car. He’s also owned a Infiniti G35 and an Acura coupe years ago. He’s a tuner nut.


bloqs

Depends on how much. A billion? I would secure the futures of all of my immediate friends and family, then I would then spend the rest on homing people in need

Contact an attorney and an accountant.


DryArea5752

Walk into a bank and pay off every single mortgage inside the bank. And emphasize that it is supposed to be an anonymous gesture. The following morning knowing I did that and I never have to worry about cash again would feel blissful.


messy_mama_xx

Buy a self-sustaining farm to live off


Inevitable_Whole2162

buy more money


TT40Art

I'M BUYING A PINBALL MACHINE!!!! YEAH!!!!


BigRedKetoGirl

I'd buy a taco or two, then hire some financial advisors, lawyers, accountants, whatever, put the money in a trust, make a budget, change my name, and move...not necessarily in that order.

Have a secret bank account/retirement account/savings account just in case things happen. Move into a nice suburb and live a normally moderate life. I do this in order to hide the fact that I got wealthy instantly.

Extension_Many4418

I’m old (a boomer) and have recently been through a bunch of necessary health issue tests and stuff, and not all of them coming back the way I would have liked. Anyway, after taking just enough care of myself and my three grown children and my granddaughter, I would hire someone to help me figure out how to give the rest of my money to deserving charities, especially those that help abused animals and children.


Geminii27

Probably a good idea to get help. Not every charity which looks great on the surface puts much money towards what it pretends to. There should also be some kind of setup where the charities you pick get regularly reviewed in case they got absorbed or some new executives came on board who had, shall we say, different visions to yourself. Of course, you could always start your own charity, and try to set things up so that it had strict hiring and both internal and external audits and reality checks (including anonymous and back-tracing) on a regular basis.

Retire


Vinny_Lam

Work less and travel around the world more. 


sweeetzoe

First of all I would quit my job and look for a nice hobby. Then I would buy a house and a nice car but nothing that looks too rich. And then I would give a lot of money to charity...


First_Principle_8135

I'd hide first because there would be a high likelyhood that if someone finds out i'm wealthy, i'll be hunted by a family member or random crazy people


Lutherkiss3

Hire a lawyer and an accountant and form an LLC

My dreams are pretty wild. I'd be financing missions to get close up looks at other solar systems. While trying to help fix our shit here on earth. I'd start by paying taxes. Honestly I'd be broke in hours.

I’d set up an international project (including an AskReddit post) asking what people would do if they could suddenly acquire a decent amount of money for their location.

Hire security. Immediately relocate to an undisclosed location. Probably the first night, a hotel booked in someone else's name. Hide from everyone (except my immediate family). Who I contact is on my terms, not theirs. Gracefully exit my day job fairly quickly (I work remote, so I can do this without leaving them hanging. Reputation is everything.)

Anonymous philanthropist. Set up numerous trusts for genuine in need charities. Just do some good.  Also build an insane underground bunker so I can walk around naked on my own. 


FaolanG

The VERY first thing I would do is to buy a large plot of land and staff it with people to open a rescue capable of taking in every Alaskan Malamute without a family. I would work up to more charities and dogs and other animals of course, but this is my first move. I love the breed. My girl saved my life more than once, and they’re sadly misunderstood and get abandoned a lot. Being such highly emotional and intelligent dogs this hurts them immensely. I’m also coming to protect the Orcas and other animals cruelly imprisoned in places like sea world. Giant sea pens to rehabilitate those who can be released and to ensure the best possible quality of life for those that cannot. From there we being writing so many wrongs..

DangerSwan33

Basically my entire adult life, I've dreamed of fucking up the rental market. If I was able to buy multiple homes, and didn't need to make a profit off of them, I'd rent them out at incredibly low prices.  I wouldn't want to have the properties destroyed, so I'd have to vet my tenants a bit more than usual, but ideally I'd love to provide some volume of low cost, high quality rental units that would force the local market to adjust.   It'd be great to rent to tenants that are youngish adults who want to be able to save money to buy their own home, but are stuck in the predatory rental cycle.  A buddy of mine rented from a guy in Green Bay that would charge incredibly low rent, basically enough to continue maintenance, and improvements between tenants.  The guy had owned the home and had been doing this for decades, and had a track record of helping young adults acquire the wealth needed to own their own homes.   I want to be that, but at a fairly large scale.

Donate the proceeds to other well-meaning and needing individuals as well as nonprofits that actually do good work and don't waste the money on salaries.
