Dear Friends, This idea has been troubling me for some time now. What will I do if I suddenly become very very rich? Well I think I will buy all the goods that a Salesman or Saleswoman has to offer and who comes to me with the hope of selling some of their products. It really troubles me when I have to say No! I just cannot forget the look of disapointment on their faces when they have to go back without making any sale. I really wish I had that much money to make a purchase every time a Salesman or Saleswoman came to me. What will you do friends?

My children and I play this game every time the lottery gets big. First 10% to the church, the trust accounts for the grandkids for college. Then, a nice house for my mother. Next, businesses for both of my children so that they can grow to be successful. Donations to several local charities. The local chapter of disabled veterans would be happy as would the food pantry. I would buy me a nicer home that is one story and redo my home for a disabled friend. Invest for the future. Dream. Make anonymous donations to families in need as pointed out to me by churches and social services. i would have a ball and help others. But until then, I will help in small ways.

Thanks. I have always told my children that dreaming is free but you have to work to make your dreams reality. The lottery is a dream but for me, helping others is a daily task. I enjoy it very much.

Checkout the book "The Enlightened Millionaire" so you'd know what an Enlightened Millionaire should do. - Donate a portion to your favorite charity - Create opportunities for other people... create business so people would have jobs. If they have jobs, there'd be more opportunities in your area. - Lastly, but real estate =) The value of any product can go down after some time. This is not true for real estate... despite what may people say (value goes up or down), real estate is real estate... whatever the market price is, you cant put a market price on the comforts of having your own home...

Yep, it explains how to make more money. But it also discusses what is the purpose of money. It's a good book that helps the reader how to get money, and, what to do with the money to make it more useful.

Thanks for your comments. The idea explained in the book is how to make more money out of the money you have gained. If I go on making more money will I have peace of mind?

Hi, If I become very very very rich suddenly, I will put all my money into the bank to earn the interest. Then, I will calm my self down to think of a good business that can turn my money into even more money.

Hi chanchalpal! I know how you feel when you say "No" to these people. I know that you just somehow want to help them earn a living. You have such a good heart and I hope that people like you will really grow rich and wealthy. I feel the same way too my friend whenever people come to me to sell something. It does hurt me somehow if I can't buy from them because I know with just one sale, it would mean a lot to them. I just hope that we could help so many people if we could only have that much money. Take Care and God Bless!

I really wish that I was rich so that I can help all those who are needy, no, not only the salesman/woman, but the poor who just toil so hard for making some money. God Bless you too!

Thanks for your comments. We all wish to be very rich one day, but the wish is just like a circle, you wish and wish but get a big 0 at the end.

Oh!! well, you are funny. why are you troubling yourself with that thing? Do you have any clue that you would really become rich? Well, anyway, since you are asking for ideas, for me, if ever I will become rich, I would make a foundation to help the kids who are abandoned by their parents. I will sponsor kids for their education in the private schools. that's what would I do.

It was just an idea that came out of the blue. Well we all have hopes of becoming multimillionaries isn't it?
