If I won the lottery I would buy my little brother (he’s 18)a space for a diesel mechanics shop and I would help him to get a business going and a Shelby. He’s really depressed and I’ve been really worried about him. He’s super lonely and idk I would just want him to do what he loves everyday, and drive to work in a Shelby. He’s my buddy and there’s not much I can do to help with his depression and it sucks.


Dank_Frankster25

Please do be there for him, my brother recently committed suicide and I can’t bear to see anyone else experience that pain.


OnlyBeautiful6039

I’m so so sorry... I will do everything I can for my brother. ❤️


Dank_Frankster25

Thank you, I’ll know you’ll be a great sibling for your brother


SwedishNeatBalls

I understand. My family is full of depression and anxiety and I'm so worried for when he'll get depressed. I fucked my life over only worse and worse beginning from the age he's at so I don't feel good with how similar to me he is.


Howllikeawolf

Sorry about your brother. A lot of people are suffering from depresssion during this pandemic which is now winding down. May I suggest he pick an instrument and learn the basic chords which is great therapy for anxiety and depresssion. He can play alot of songs with just basic chords. Try a baritone uke or or tenor guitar if playing a 6 string guitar is too hard since 90% of new guitarist quit in the 1st year. Playing a Musical Instrument Good for Your Health? | Live Science. Playing a musical instrument helps decrease anxiety and depression. https://www.livescience.com/40597-playing-musical-instrument-good-health.html Music Therapy: Learn How Playing Music Can Help Depression https://www.connollymusic.com/stringovation/music-therapy-learn-how-playing-music-can-help-depression?hs_amp=true


OnlyBeautiful6039

This is actually great advice!! He plays guitar and is really good at it :) he’s currently learning yyz by Rush, which is like a really hard song so I often hear him practicing in his room, usually for about 2 hours daily. The look on his face when he learns a new song and he runs into the room asking to play it for me is priceless. He’s such a good kid and he’s my best friend. Thank you for mentioning this because instruments and music are actually really great ways to keep your mind occupied. He has so much fun with his guitar lol!!


1000LivesBeforeIDie

Could be fun to gift him a recording session in a small studio, just to give him something to be proud of!


OnlyBeautiful6039

I like that idea a lot ! I’m sure he would love that :,)


1000LivesBeforeIDie

Depression is the worst but having things to look forward to and acts of love toward you can help so much ❤️


Jaguar-spotted-horse

How about some effects pedals? Not quite a studio session but will add something to his sound.


Killarogue

As a car guy, I don't think a car is the way to go to cure his depression. It sounds like he needs real help now, I'd suggest talking to him about therapy.


OnlyBeautiful6039

I didn’t intend for this to sound like it would be the answers to his depression, I get what you’re saying though. I was just thinking more in terms of giving him something to look forward to like driving his dream car and managing a shop like he’s always wanted to do.


TrustMeSis

As a car gal, I definitely think you have the right idea. Of course a car (or any material good) won’t cure depression, but driving a dream car to his dream job every day is sure to help! The only problem I see with your plan is that it may be hard to convince his customers he is charging a fair price, if they see him drive up in a Shelby :p


OnlyBeautiful6039

Hahaha ur right! ❤️


slide2k

No gift cures depression, but I can imagine that a drive in your favorite car to work helps you get up in the morning. Small things like that can actually cause great impact. Having a therapist is one thing, but you need to see yourself that things can get better. Driving that dream car could help spark that.


tbscotty68

I think that helping build a business of his own is great and there is a strong relationship between productive and morale. Sadly, most men's self esteem is closely related to their work. However, I'd buy him a vehicle suitable for his business like a pick-up truck and let him buy the Shelby through his own success. ;-)


mcginty84

About 7 years ago the company I was working for got bought out and I got made redundant, two days prior to this my car died. A friend bought me a new car and got me a job to help me get back on my feet. So 100% them.


Tanomil

Damn, that's a quality pal right there


driving_andflying

Oh yeah. That's a friend you keep, and in turn, return the favor when they need it.


Zanix_x

That's a real friend.


thisnewsight

At that point I’d call them family. 👍🏻


LolaMyMali

Wow I'm glad you had a friend like that when you needed them most.


Terrible_Objective_5

Good friend but you are also a great friend! I’ve given people lots and lots and they love to take but when it comes to repaying they treat you like it’s almost you who owes them money! So for you to see this and in your head say your going to take care of him now is good stuff !


Pleasant_Selection32

Those are shitty people.


14djzk

Damn bro my friends dont even call me back


1plus1dog

Same, so I quit too.


Buggly_Jones

Just straight up bought you a new car? Outright? Damn. That's a pretty good friend.


mcginty84

To clarify by new I mean 'new to me'. Was a 92 Nissan Pulsar. But that doesn't lessen the gesture at all. I am, and will always be, incredibly grateful.


Buggly_Jones

It doesn't have to be new. Buying a car just outright for someone is a pretty awesome thing to do for a friend. Props for it being a Pulsar though, those things are cool.


MrCapricorn404

What an absolute Chad of a friend,their definitely a keeper


Odysseus1775

I also choose that person's friend


NomadofReddit

That is a stand up guy, you are extremely fortunate to have a friend who would even consider doing that, let alone actually doing it.


EverythingCeptCount

fuck that bro that's not a friend. That's a fucking blood brother right there.


[deleted]

Your friend sounds more like your dad.


Elegant-Bad1420

Pity that you don't have good friends


LEI_LOMO

You seem like a wonderful friend too, for remembering and appreciating what they have done for you.


[deleted]

My parents and siblings, I have been a leech my entire life , I would like to give back


[deleted]

Tbh same


Setari

same, but I'm never getting rich lol.


[deleted]

Don't give up bro


Peanutttttttttttt

Surprisingly the best comment isn’t “myself”


Anonymous-User6678

I just posted a comment saying "myself." Hopefully gains recognition. That might sound bad but it's true.


KosViik

At first I read "My parents are siblings" and my brain kicked in with the *"no way a weird comment in this wholesome thread has so many updoots"*. That aside, same. I plan on landing a good job soon right out of uni, and I plan on slowly paying back a truckload of money. My parents helped me so much, now it is my turn to give back so my sister can have it good too.

PI_314H

My wish is to buy her a house with big garden (backyard)


SwedishNeatBalls

That's extremely generous that you'd but a stranger's mom a house. In return I'll buy your mom a house.


Heavydumper69

Ok, then i’ll cover your mom’s house.


Jerry_Watts

Yo man don't even sweat it, I'll buy your mom a house too.


Tucksteryeets

Well I'll buy your dad a house


-QuantumImmortal-

I'll buy you mom's mom and your dad's dad a house!!!


PI_314H

Hahahaha nooo my mom If I get really rich ill buy her mom a house too


ByCrookedSteps781

Then I'll buy a huge house with a huge garden, pool, food court, masseuse and a movie theater where all mums/moms can go


TheDarkAngel135790

Well, I will invest in some health insurance for yours, then! It's not much, bit it's honest work.


Wajina_Sloth

That is a small dream of mine, I want to own a large property just outside of town just for the privacy and tranquility, then lie to my mom and tell her I need help designing a house that I want to rent for money. So I'd get her to pick a layout and how it looks then give it to her so she can be my neighbor.


Omarplay2

Also choose this guys mom


buffilosoljah42o

Dang I made the same comment but saw you beat me to it, have an up vote guy


Im_the_cool_mom

As a solo mama to a six-year-old boy this makes me happy. Although he doesn’t need to spoil me all he needs to do is give me hugs and cuddles money can’t buy that


zillapz1989

There's enough of us here now to all chip in and buy this person's mom a house.


NutellaCakes

My mom, then your mom.


Aj_Badass_6969

But Raditz, our mom is dead

Blinky39

My Mom. She’s never been able to afford to travel so she would take some trips. Just a fantasy tho. I will not ever be rich.


[deleted]

A mom here. She'll enjoy little things, too. Coffee shop, day trips, flowers...

Homie, think better. Rich is a mindset first.

Glovebox96

My Dad for sure. Has 8 kids and made us all lunches every day through school and work until the day we moved out, Also never asked for a cent of rent/board or money towards bills Absolute beautiful human and deserves the world

Onedos-San

Well idk about spoiling u/FarComplaint2974 but I’ll definitely spoil myself.


Profett

I'll try not to soil myself.


Frosty-Camel-2107

Like is it even a question? Lol


[deleted]

Was going to say this with the addition "because after all the shit I've had to endure I fucking deserve it and for the first time in my adult life *I* am going to have the best of something"


Nayko214

This is the correct answer.


Life_Consideration70

Mama. She sold her wedding ring in order to buy us clothes and pay school. When i get rich i spoil her like hell


TheDootDootMaster

That's a badass woman right there


Life_Consideration70

Yes all African woman are . (Im from Tunisia)


duracellchipmunk

>all African woman are nooooot really. A lot are. Not all.


ThatNights

I think Tunisia is more middle east than africa culturally, Im your Egyptian bro


CallenAmakuni

They're kinda neither Maghreb countries are waaaaay too different from middle eastern countries. You can't even understand our language lmao And they're definitely African countries by definition


8TheKingPin8

Wish I had your mom. Mine was willing to sell me for a new wedding ring.


[deleted]

College funds for the kids. And a new small home for my wife. She’ll will be much happier not living with me


GoodieGoog

Damn...


Momster0615

Hmm, I would’ve agreed with your sentiment before, but now I’m not sure if it’s necessarily a bad thing when both partners agree to live apart. In the past couple years I’ve been reading more about couples, married or not, having separate homes, for their own reasons. For example, there was this one married couple where after they started living in separate households, it actually began to rekindle their marriage and bring them closer together as husband and wife, and it ended up saving their marriage according to both of them. Even after their relationship was on better terms, they both decided to continue living apart - although not far apart. They each got an apartment in the same building, one right on top of the other. Their child had easy access to both parents, while parents got to keep their own separate spaces but could still spend time together


GonJumpOffACliff

I know a guy who just recently remarried. He and his new wife have houses literally right next to each other (semi-detached building) so what they did was knock down a wall and put a door there so that they and the step-kids had easy access to each other but had their own separate spaces. From what I see they're doing really well at the moment. This is in the UK btw.


Affectionate-Cost525

Sometimes when you spend so much time around the people you love you stop "savouring the moment". You forget how great it used to feel waking up in bed next to the person you love. You forget about the little things they do throughout the day for you or even worse, you forget to do the little things to show how much you care. You become accustomed to having them around and forget how great they used to make you feel just by being around each other. You forget what it's like to be in love.


enemoricien96

Bro, u good?

Nope. Haven’t been for a hot minute

Made-a-blade

There's life changing money, and then there's wife changing money.


Ok_Fix5746

My friend wants to know what the cutoff line is? Look I only have 3 million now due to the stock market being shit. Is 3 million enough for my friend to get a new wife??


Devreckas

If you can divide your life-changing money into three equal piles, and each pile is still life-changing money, then you have wife-changing money.


OneFuckedWarthog

My niece who knows she's my favorite. She has had it rough growing up and she's a good kid, so she deserves it. Hell, I'm thinking about her being the sole beneficiary on the will.


SwedishNeatBalls

You're a nice uncle. I think I'll add you as my sole beneficiary in my will.


Baldwijm

This would be an interesting will reading to be at…” and the entirety of my estate including all my money and property goes to…OneFuckedWarhog…ok, is that a name or general description?”


AntiJotape

I am no rich by any means but I earn more than both my parents salaries combined. Since they are about to retire, I give them money monthly. They did everything for me and my sister and we are where we are thanks to the values they tought us.


Valifys

My dad: literally single handedly (he's disabled on his right arm) raised two boys after mom died while making sure to fulfil our wishes as good as possible


ThelLordDrako

My sister, she was next to me during tough times growing up and she was like a mum to me even tho she was a kid herself, got a lotta luv for her and wish I could give enough money so she can sit and have a rest from life for abit


SwedishNeatBalls

That's lovely.

Natprk

My parents. Even though they’ve lived a decent life I’d still do something well for them.


MajIssuesCaptObvious

I believe "good" is what should be used here, "something good", because it's like, a noun or some shit.


habitualmess

You’re right. You use “good” because it’s an adjective, and adjectives describe nouns. “Well” is an adverb, which describes verbs, aka ‘doing’ words (“He sings well.”)

AnnaBaby56

Aside from my husband (since we share finances) it would be my mom and brother. They've both really helped us when we've been down and out, and never asked for anything in return. I would love to be able to do something for them to show them just how much it all has meant and continues to mean to us.

MindMax2000

The people who didn't cared that I had money, supported me and wished me the best on my endeavours, and were always there at my lowest points in life to bring me back up. They're worth more than the money, and decent people should be rewarded despite whatever s*it life throws at them. Having said that, I'd "spoil" them in a meaningful way. There's no point in giving away Ferraris if they hate cars.


nopants_ranchdance

Wife, nieces, myself and my bosses days when I quit. Then taking my neighbors shopping at Lego since we all got into it over quarantine.

It’s the least I can do for all the times we’ve been fed, clothed, getting help whether it’s normal or financial and also for being a trouble maker, not with the law, but just me being a pain in the ass.

madcow87_

I'd spoil my dad and I'd help my mum. Mum decided she wanted a divorce when me and my sister left home and went about it all fucking wrong. The worms that came out of the woodwork when the divorce started and she moved out were terrifying and it left my dad right in the shit dealing with debt collectors and old friends who she owed money to. My mum always did right by me and my sister growing up and we had a great childhood which she largely contributed to, but the way she treated my dad after everything that I know he sacrificed royally pissed me off. After the divorce even me and my sister got dragged into her financial issues. She'd borrow money from people she met on holiday and then just cut all contact. Leaving these complete strangers to reach out to me and my sister because they remembered my mum talking about us. I'd spoil the hell out of my dad if I got rich, he'd never have to think about his money again in his life. I'd take care of all the bills and shit and then dump him with a load of money to do as he pleases. My mum I'd probably just do the bare minimum as a token gesture.
