If You Had Infinite Amounts of Time & Money, What Would You Do?

JD

I was thinking the other day about what I would do if I had infinite amounts of money and time, and there are a few things I would love to do.
First of all, I would consistently donate to all of my favorite animal sanctuaries, and then I would take some time to travel. I would start off by visiting all of the sanctuaries I support around the country and world, and then I would travel the world to see all of my favorite animals in their natural habitats. I would start in Africa to see all of savana animals, and then I would go to the jungles to see Chimps, and the mountains to see gorillas. Next up would be China to see Pandas, and then Australia to see some of their animals like kangaroos, and koalas.
Once I was done traveling I would buy a farm, and get a some rescued horses, pigs, goats, cows and llamas.

So, what would you do?
 
Finish my house and help people do the same.

Train in different therapeutic techniques.

Teach sword fighting.

Write a novel.
 
Travel, see all the places I've been longing to see.

Get a house a little further away, some place with a big fenced in yard so I can have dogs and cats.

I would pick a handful of charities and fund them---like funding animal shelters, helping new immigrants, set up scholarships for homeless teens, set up funds for cancer patients, etc.
 
My workplace would be set with funds for the next 100 years (my legacy).
I’d buy the house I’m in from my dad, and get a single-level house for him.
I’d kidnap my boyfriend for a couple of weeks and we’d go into hiding.
And I’d get a good gym membership.
 
Give a lot of money to Hazlab so they could design to their hearts content.

Buy Adam Savage all the machine tools out there.

Give money to folks here…starting with all the really good fan artists here so they can be rich and quit their day jobs.

Prop up Eaglemoss type ships, Round2.

Pay off Axanar so everyone is happy and whole.

Give to museums, authors, makers…creative people…like Tom Grazulis of the Tornado Project.

If I truly had infinite money?
Buy up all sports stadiums and have them destroyed. Then build a Buran type Shuttle 2.
 
Pour money into systems that will ensure everyone, globally, gets food, clean water, clothing, reliable shelter, and necessary medicines for free. I would also donate to organizations that would work to overturn the current inadequate and unequal system, emphasizing collective changes that benefit everyone, as well as massive investments in repairing the environment because even with unlimited time, I'll still be running out of time in other ways.

Also, maybe a very nice hat.
 
I’d also add getting a big bathroom with a big bathtub on my list, along with a box of bath things from my favorite bath shop. In the “benefit to society” category, I’d make certain the mental hospitals were properly funded and get decent drug treatment facilities.
 
Make sure that there's a house that I can live in. Try my best to avoid harming other people. Make art.

There's a longer list, and these are at the top.
 
Probably buy an island, invite a lot of people who know how to make buildings and stuff using traditional techniques and basically build a kind of area not unlike the ones depicted in Zardoz, The Prisoner, etc.

A weird little quaint village or a Roman architecture town or a Shinto temple, lots of interesting buildings.
Maybe some sacred groves, forest and a wicker man by the sea shore.

Lots of cool little things. :3

Then I can build my armed forces...
 
I'd also consider splitting the money between the Oakland A's and Tampa Bay Rays so they could build new stadiums.
 
Help animals and people. Not sure how, I would find ways. And give my mom the best of everything, I could.
There are always animal shelters/rescues, and hospitals like St. Jude's, or lots of organizations to help homeless, or things like that.
