Oh hey, another one

questionoftheday asks: If you married rich and your spouse gave you $100,000 a week, what would you spend it on?

My answer:

Well for starters, I wouldn't be living in a basement crawlspace with no insulation and no kitchen, where the bathroom window merely pretends to have glass in it separating the flat from the outside world while hoping you don't notice the inch-wide gap across the top or half-inch gap across the bottom.

After I was done setting myself up to live spaciously and comfortably, the next bit would go into funding my old age. It's kind of what I most worry about, seeing as how I fully expect I'll have to take care of myself by myself until I die, and is why I don't want to be old in the U.S.

But I guess this question has a hypothetical spouse in it, so the above might be moot. And we could adopt! And then have nannies! So that the hypothetical adopted children would take care of me (us) in our old age.

Then, after I was done setting up how to pay for the rest of my life, I guess it's on to traveling the world. And donating large sums of money to worthy causes. Also contributing to paying for my mother in her old age (so far it's mostly my sister doing that).
