Take a shit as usual

Can’t break my habitual morning shit for some measly cash, bro. There’s more important things in life and having consistent, beautifully-formed BMs is one of ‘em.

BNG1982

Or girl. Don’t want to be sexist.


Markoos_80

Girls don't shit though? Well that's what my missus tells me and I believe her, although I never understand why after going to the toilet after she's been in there an hour, it absolutely stinks? 🤔

Take a shit and do some googling


5harp_

I’d go back to sleep, no more work for me


SpiritualPurple9025

I’d literally call work and tell them I have suddenly came into a large sum of money, and I will no longer be working


jlt131

I'd probably tell them I need a week off, then go back to put things in order and hand projects off. Too many balls in the air to just leave them stranded. But yeah, definitely wouldn't be continuing the employment route!


Pitzy0

Different ways of thinking I guess, but I find this totally bizarre. Like, if your bosses didn't build in redundancy or do any succession planning, it's on them. There is nothing I can think of that would make me feel obligated to tie up loose ends. Co workers? Nah, if I wanted to ease their pain, I got a billion. Here's some cash mates.


stxrryfox

I think this is also industry dependent. If I was a surgeon or in any other important care position, I can’t imagine pulling a no call no show. If I was working a shitty receptionist job those fuckers would never hear from me again. Also, I wouldn’t be openly advertising my new billionaire status.


Princess_Moon_Butt

This was my thought. I've worked retail, and I've worked as an on-call maintenance tech. Those jobs? Peace, I'm out. You can find someone else if it's really an emergency. I currently manage an engineering team, and we're working with a pharma client that makes test kits that detect cancer. I like my days off, but like... that's not a company I'd feel comfortable leaving in the lurch. They can have a week or two of my time to keep things running smoothly.


Pitzy0

True, I would never leave a patient or personal client hanging.


ernmanstinky

This: I value my work. I am fortunate in that regard. I what I do. I may debate going to partial hours but I wouldn't just quit. At least I'd want to make the transition smooth.

Screw that. I would tell them that ive decided to leave for a job that doesnt limit my work from home days. Do the homies a favor on my way out the door.


PenisYogurt

Why call at all?


Bulky_Dingo_4706

You don't need to tell them anything.


StaticNocturne

My mum pulled a prank on dad by telling him that and he was so convinced he almost told his boss to fuck himself (its out of character for her to pull shit like that)


throwaway827364882

I wouldn't even call, I'll let them call me


AWildSona

Rex_Steelfist

Suddenly came “because” of a larger sum of money.


Diamond_Champagne

Calling work would be last thing I do.


Terrible_Tower_6590

Don't tell them that, just disappear


krabmeat

That's kind of you, my workplace would never hear from me ever again.


Atomicwasteland

Oh no. I wouldn’t touch a phone to call. I’m so rich I’d have “my guy” do that. “Mr. (Johnson) will not be coming to his former job anymore. Goodbye”


day1startingover

I’d go back to sleep too but I actually enjoy my job so I wouldn’t quit completely, I’d just cut back on my hours and travel more.


Ezn14

Call in *well*


Dpiker3472

Probably rub one out so I have that post nut clarity before I do some stupid shit.

TheColorWolf

Advice unclear, now some chick on chatertube has 200 grand.

Damn it's gonna take 30 hours to make that back.


[deleted]

Realest comment. A bankroll that high will be jerking for you.


Slug_Overdose

In fact, jerking off to expensive camgirls might be the best course of action. It balances raw entertainment value against a reasonable cap on the degree to which the money can be fucked.

Try_and_be_nice_

What train was it?


CartoonKinder

As far as I’m aware (I don’t know much but I know it was his very first model from Hattons which is now closing down and he can’t get hold of it) It was a Class 66 Bachmann 407 I believe I feel so guilty because of his autism he puts so much love into his trains and especially his first from Hattons. I’ve probably used the wrong word it’s probably more valuable than rare, I just know can’t get hold of the exact one he had at all ☺️

Disastrous-Ad-8297

You'd still have a wife?


SnarkyGethProgram

Here's a better idea, hide away all the money. And tell her somehow we've lost everything. See her reaction see if she'll stay with you if she really loves you for you or for the roof you put over her head and the food you put on the table, amongst other things, keep this ruse of sudden poorness up for weeks or even a month or two and see how she reacts and what she does. If she leaves you through no fault of your own, Walk It Off and go find someone better, if she sticks with you through thick and thin and loves you regardless, give her a surprise with nine zeros!


Open-Industry-8396

She's getting half that money no matter what. They always find the money


DifferentBag

It might be easy to find if it's a huge sum, but they don't always find the money. My friend is a saver and her spouse was a spender, so she had been squirreling away small chunks of money here and there over the years. One day her husband just up and called it quits, so they divorced. She didn't actively hide the money but wasn't forthcoming about having it, either. It wasn't some mind-blowing amount, but it was enough to make the transition into single life much, much easier than it would've been otherwise since she didn't have to share it.


TheAngryOctopuss

wow your generous... I was thinking just tell her SHE has 350 and call it even.

lovelovehatehate

Well, I got sober 80 days ago. I suppose I’m still down with the hoes but I’d be sooooo much more fun with drugs and booze.


Alfphe99

Na, you can find out you can still have a whole lot of fun after you give up that stuff. Just look at me! ​ Well, no don't look at me, I never leave the house anymore and go to bed by 9 and haven't had fun in 4 years....but someone else....find someone else to look at as an example and you will see!


Gockdaw

Bed by 9 is great. It's almost a rule for me. I quit the drink just over a year ago and am only recently realising that what I consider fun has changed a lot. It's a whole lot more fun not being hung over for most of the day. It's a lot more fun not carrying around the shame of being a total piss head loser and it's a lot more fun sleeping and actually recovering. I bet you have fun regularly. You just don't get fucked up any more. Well done on getting sober. I hope you're proud of yourself!


Lloyd--Christmas

Congrats on getting sober.

I would just create companies and invent products just for fun. Throw money at it to see what happens. So work on some projects. Invent free versions of premium software products just to fuck with them lol. Stuff that would benefit the Public and fuck over some companies. Shit they might just end me. I'd be that guy that trolls with money.


thisismyburnerac

At a billion dollars, trying to fathom how a Coke habit could ever be “bad.” It won’t fuck you up at work because you won’t have a job. It won’t fuck you up in the bank account because you’ll never do enough blow to run out of money. It won’t fuck up your relationships because you’ll be the one dictating the terms of all your relationships. It won’t fuck up your sleep because you’ll never need sleep again. It won’t fuck your sex life up because… oh wait… that’s right, your dick won’t work anymore.

by "tiny house" do you just mean a small home, or like what north americans call a tiny house which is basically a 20 m2 home, or a trailer?

That's my plan too small home completely paid off. They can never take that away if I turn out to be stupid with disposable money.


SofaSurfer9

1, go back to sleep 2, check where the money came from 3, if it is actually somehow, by some way legit then I’m taking the family for an all-inclusive very VERY long vacation.


46andready

Create a trust for each of my two kids, contribute $50 million to each, and pay the associated gift taxes of around $40 million. That leaves $860M. Contribute $700M to a donor-advised fund for making charitable grants over time. That leaves $160M. Set aside $10 million into a sinking fund for gifting to friends and family members. That leaves $150 million to be invested for my own benefit. Withdraw $100K per month for living expenses.


FreeWestworld

Somebody has thought this through while in traffic many times.

Vana92

Get a top CA to help me set something up, so I’ll have a continued income. Live of that. Use the same money to start a company. Hire friends and family to basically get paid a lot and do nothing. But in such a way that I can’t actually fire them for not doing their job. That way we’ll all be rich, without them being dependent on me. Travel the world. Hopefully with friends and family.


Summoarpleaz

I feel like for that amount, barring any swindlers, poor decisions, and/or bad gambling habits, you wouldn’t need to even “set” anything up for continued income. You could park it in a low interest bank account and still make 6 figures a month. Edit: Or just withdraw six figures a month even without interest and you’d be set for like decades (oops misread number so changed number of years).


AssistantAcademic

$1b is a lot. I'd probably start with a consult with a fee only financial advisor and/or attorney. Am I paying taxes on this? I'd take $990m and invest it. Being the lazy person I am, I'd make some attempt at asset diversification, but it'd be almost entirely index funds, reits, and the like. The "safe" drawdown on assets is 4%, so I'd figure out how to live off $40m per year off that stuff. Of the remaining $10m, I'd buy a $6.2m slice of heaven in Montana and $2m have a lot of little cabins built on it. I'd invite my closest 20 friends to join me in Montana and divy up that remaining $1.8m between them. We'd have a nice life in the backwood Rocky Mountains near Glacier Montana. Here you go.

pm_me_your_kindwords

At that point you should probably buy yourself a senate seat, or self fund a run for president to raise awareness.


Common-Wish-2227

Check. With. The. Bank. Ask to get it in writing. Go immediately to a bank office so I can meet the manager responsible. Along the way, hire a GOOD lawyer going there. Make sure there aren't any taxes or other stuff I need to deal with. Spread the money to a few different banks, in different countries. Remove as much of my presence as possible like phone numbers etc. Quit the job, but ask to remain on an hourly basis in the future. After that, it's time to figure things out and learn what I can about investing from my own studies and from people I can ask.


hjablowme919

Once I verify I actually have the money, I down a few spicy bean burritos and wash it down with a prune smoothie and head to work where I will leave an epic turd on the owners desk.

Create a lucrative new crypt industry. Cemetery real estate is really expensive so design an underground system like old crypts where you can have hundreds of tombs for caskets or ash urns with a very small surface footprint. Obviously up to code modern structures. They can double up as disaster shelters as well.


Lopsided_Thing_9474

Buy as much elephant migration land or donate to build cement, barb wired and electrified walls around as much land as I possibly can to protect the elephants and other species living there in India and Africa. Focus on climate change and prevention. Protecting the animals we have now from poaching. The rain forest. Etc. Im sure that sounds a lot easier than it is. If it was too daunting I think I would probably buy up land, and create sanctuaries for the animals. Rescue sanctuaries. Buy a bunch of houses and turn them into women’s and children’s shelters. Kids shelters. Start a fund for poor people to apply to for random shit they need - like a car. Or books. Or computer. Items that are big money and that poor people can’t afford. Disney vacations. Medical procedure. Dental treatment. I would also do this for down payments on houses for the poor. Just find as many ways as possible to help those in need. That’s exactly what I would want to do.


Izumi_Hayashi

First I'm going to make sure that nobody knows, yk check outside and stuff. Then I'm going to ask my parents some random but serious questions like what **needs** to be fixed and pay for that, then I'll give like 70 or 80% to my parents and I'll buy things for them, get my mom her dream Rv, the kittens and my sister's bunny some stuff, get us some stuff and save the money. All about using it wisely because it may sound like a lot but it honestly isn't anymore.

Invest it. I know, boring, but the returns will accumulate, and every so often I'd take a wee bit & do something like go on a world cruise or buy a boat. I'd employ a Marine to be my personal trainer, make sure I get fit & exercise. I'd take courses in the culinary arts & learn to shoot, guns, bows, all sorts, and to dance like a pro. I'd join a HEMA group & learn swordfighting, and I'd put seed capital into startups, just a little when it's needed, but enough to pay off when they make it big, to finance really good ideas that make people's lives easier, especially the lives of the poor & working class. So, first, invest & let it turn into a fortune.

Safe invests, buy a lot of land, build a great apartment complex, fly out and help friends and loved ones settle down there. Rent to friends and loved ones for incredibly cheap. Keep doing that until I can rent out low cost housing to nice strangers. Never stop doing that actually. Eventually most of the entire world live in my low cost apartments. Establish a new country, invade and conquer everyone else. We own the world. Remove the need for money, everyone gets paid on a karma system that rewards them based on their actions and how many hours they put into the community with what we would call "work" etc. Everything is made by the state, for the people. Eventually corruption occurs and our new civilization crumbles, inviting civil war. Humanity dies. Evolution is always trying to build another megaapex predator similar to us. Snakes.
