Ask Lemmy

If we had lots of time, then it's easy. Just buy total market index funds and sit and wait. This is why vampires are usually rich. If you've lived that long, and you're not rich, you're doing something wrong.

$2 at 7% a year for 50 years = $58.91

$2 at 7% a year, for 500 years = $1,505,863.24

The power of compound interest!

My wallet never would be empty, but just enough to buy a drink or a meal when need it

I'd fund two space missions:

Mission 1: to create so many physical coins to cause the formation of a black hole in orbit around the Sun.

Mission 2: to bring a certain guy in space and literally kick him in the ass in the direction of the mentioned black hole.

Really? Keep it so quiet.

Would do the things to the house that we say we'd do if we had all the money. But not more. Get the car my husband wants, but with a loan so it's not so obvious. I don't need one. Start putting the max into the retirement accounts and pull an extra couple thousand to pay for stuff each month.

I feel like this would basically need to be laundered like crime money, if we wanted to do more with it, even good things. Would think on it, but without a way to do that I would just use it.

fund research in high density cities with good public trans. don't pay high but comes with housing, education, food, and other various perks. The housing and research institutes will have no parking.

I’d spawn a few million euros for myself and never worry about finances ever again. Ruining the world economy with hyperinflation isn’t in my interest, nor would I have any use for more money than that.

Free housing, healthcare, and education for everyone!

Just kidding. I'd dress up like a bat and beat up clowns.

If I had infinite money, I would create Medicare for All as a private company.

It'd be like shooting all the healthcare CEOs at once.

Mass duplicate rare earth metals at a rate that would crash economies and make white goods and alternative energy sources actually cheaper than fossil fuels.

Then while the world's having an absolute fit trying to recover from that, I'd find a way to duplicate expensive and hard to make medicine till it's functionally worth less than the packaging it comes in.

Immediately not trust it and assume I'm too stupid or ignorant to see what the flaw in the system is.

And next I'd be worried that, flaw or not, the authorities might find out about it, because that would almost certainly not end well.

Even if there's truly a way to get something for nothing, someone else will find a way to take it away.

I'm assuming this is extralegal cash.

Start some businesses that could accept the money without raising eyebrows regarding revenue streams. Eventually quit my job to focus on these businesses.

Keep it a secret, give some money to those in need, and go see as many movies as I want without worrying about money

Use it sparingly, to avoid causing massive inflation as everyone realises the money supply is fucked.

Look, I like chaos as much as the next guy, but blowing up the entire global economy is a step too far. And I could do a lot of good with a few billion that I can actually spend.

Unless this means infinite actual value instead of infinite imaginary currency, in which case I guess I ascend everyone and everything into some kind of godhood, because that implies I can.

donate to wikipedia and fsf first and then get a beer

House with a yard. One of the rooms is a sensory room. Quietly donate to causes of marginalized folks. Continue going to work.

Get a peaceful night of sleep.

Have existential crisis.

I guess I might buy a new fishin' pole'na couple'a lures and go fishin'.

Crash the rouble.

Just glitch infinite amounts of it and give it to everyone

Buy name brand meds.

this already exists, it's calles the stock market. largest international casino ever conceived, learn the rules and it's all the $ you could possibly want (scaling above the 1 million mark gets tricky, admittedly)

This is kinda the plot of Hudson Hawk.
