What would you do if you were rich?

I am reminded of the famous line from "Fiddler On The Roof" and the song, "If I Were A Rich Man".  I suppose I am a lot like him in his wishes.

He wished for a big house with one long staircase going up and a "and an even longer one coming down".  He wished for free time to do what he wanted instead of work or go to school.  He wanted to provide good things for his family so they would be happy and not worry.  Of course I would invest some so that my family would be taken care of for the rest of their lives.

There are other people I would help, people we know, people who need help, people who deserve a helping hand to get going, people who will later help others. 

Since I don't know anyone who is rich I don't know what these kind of people are like.  Oh, sure, I recognize some rich people who help others with their money but I don't know them.  This is a little hard for me to imagine because I would not want to hoard the money, I would not want to sit on all my riches and keep it all for myself.

There are some amazing places that I would want to take my family too.  Beautiful places and historical places.  Places like Rome, London, Paris, Beijing.  Other places like the Grand Canyon, the Andes, the Himalayas, the savannas of east Africa.

What would you do with your money if you were rich?

I would first put money into my parents bank account, because I need to just them something for raising my siblings and I. Then, I would add some money to my siblings bank account so they would not have to worry about money for college. After, I would buy my grandparents and parents a new car, because they NEED a better one. Next, I would hire someone to remodel my house and backyard to the way my mother wants it to be.

If I was rich I would invest, save, spend, and donate. That way I won't lose money. And then if I have even more money, I might take my family around the world!

If I were rich, I would get all those video games I want. Then I could get a fire pit at my house or something like that. Then after I got what I wanted and I have some extra money, I can just give it to the poor and orphanages and stuff.

What I would do is to use it wisely. First, I would put some and/or most in my bank account for college. Second, I would give some of the money to my parents and little brothers. Third, I would give some and/or most to one or to many charities. Fourth, I would give some money to people in my family. Lastly, I would keep some of the money for myself. :)

If I was rich, I would like to do lots of things for myself and my family, and the world. I would first want a successful life for myself, so I could help others again with my money. I would buy a exclusive house with palatial surroundings and money for college for me and my sister. Later I would set many charity foundations for diseases, animals, poor families,single mothers, and money to support recycling and going green. One person can change the world, and then others can join him. Let peace shall be forever be on Earth.
