What would you do with infinite money?

in General

For the purpose of this hypothetical, let’s say that you have a special credit card with a thousand dollar limit but anytime you use it it refills automatically. So you can’t buy say a Lamborghini but you could probably rent one indefinitely (I assume that’s how rental cars work).
How would you take advantage of this situation? Personally the first thing I’d want to do is travel the country and try to book a session with every pro on this site. I like staying in hotels and meeting new people

    Is there infinite interest?

  • TravismoTravismo

    No interest, it’s paid off regularly by some unknown entity. An invisible hand if you will

    This isn't a hypothetical. This sounds just like the credit/debit cards the Mayor was handing out in NYC.

    it’s paid off regularly by some unknown entity.

    It's called taxpayers.

    Start selling stuff for push ups, and buying stuff with wit

    @TxTom I'm in nyc, how can I get one of those

  • Vocalist100Vocalist100

    Well, since there's nothing (apparently) stopping me from putting $1k down payment, then a few minutes later, another $1k, etc. looks like I need to schedule a world cruise. Then one after that, and another..... And in between, $1k donations to Doctors Without Borders, Amnesty Int'l, and a few other NGOs I can think of.

  • TxTomTxTom

    @Mike102 Previous recipients can't get this card anymore. Coincidently, the Mayor just announced the end of this program this past week.

    Anyway, I'm guessing you probably didn't qualify for this card, regardless.

    This would take a bit of homework, but I'd buy a new car, new motorcycle, new boat etc using lenders that would accept the monthly loan installment payments via credit card and make sure that the vehicle prices were such that the monthly payments would each be under $1,000. Likewise, pay the insurance bills monthly. And my utilities. Oh, and epic grocery store trips of ribeyes and Maine lobsters!!! Oh goodness, the home shopping that I could do - Ebay and Amazon, here I come!!

    Oh, think of all the fishing tackle that I could buy!!!!! And ammo by the case - I could stock my whole neighborhood for the zombie apocalypse.

    Travel, cuddle, go out to dinner, get $1000 of groceries each time and go back if I forgot or needed more for some reason, perhaps if I could pay off $1000 increments of current debts using this card I would do so, get new tires and brakepads installed, do an installment plan on a new laptop with certain specs (though the most recent one I have is good), get a SATA SSD for my old Linux laptop, go to more concerts (possibly even front row seats or VIP backstage passes to some) and buy merch to support bands (especially independent ones), donate $1000 a month to various charities(each one), buy tons of gifts for friends and family on Amazon, get gas and grocery gift cards for friends and family members, get a PS5 just to play Dragonball Sparking! Zero, go to various conventions, and more.

    Most of it would go to family members, friends and those I know who are in need. I have a list of NGO's that I would support. Also, I need a new set of golf clubs and a couple bottles of Wild Turkey.

    Pay my mom's medical bills and pay someone to fix her property, Pay it Forward to help others, pay bills, repaint my car hood, replace worn out clothes, renovate, buy healthier food, etc

  • WestsideMarcWestsideMarc

    OK I’ll play along. Given the parameters, I’d probably go to Texas! The cuddlers there for some reason seem awesome!

    I have a friend that moved there recently and have been exploring a visit.

    @TxTom
    Is that his work that earned him the Nobel Prize in economics? I know he won a Nobel but I wasn’t sure which of his ideas won the award.

  • TxTomTxTom

    @JohnR1972
    The quote comes from an interview, although I'm sure it's a regurgitation of what he'd written previously.

  • JubalJubal

    @TxTom the simpler version of that quote is "TANSTAAFL", which is a fundamental for Economics majors ("There Ain't No Such Thing As A Free Lunch")

    @Jubal
    Clearly, it's a concept that isn't taught much anymore.

    I'd like to see how the answers differ in a thread titled, What do you do with your money?

  • CuddlesofcuddleCuddlesofcuddle

    Infinite money!? I'm assuming I don't have a work schedule to adhere to.. sooooo,...Infinite cuddles! I'd wanna experience other professionals and how they cuddle. What kinda conversation they bring forth. What energy they give. And I'd travel to go meet some of yall for cuddles of cuddle ♡

    Set up a money laundering scheme to create a war chest to fund the legal defense I’ll need when the IRS comes looking for their cut.

    Hmm conspicuous spending with no reported taxable income…

    If so, money wouldn't be worth anything...

  • interalia626interalia626

    If I had that card, I probably wouldn't change my lifestyle radically but would embrace much more of a "treat yourself" (and others) state of mind, generally speaking.

  • [Deleted User]MarkWard (deleted user)

    Invest in London property and then seek out cuddlers. 🤗

    I would buy drones to help destroy the orcish hoard that is destroying Ukraine.

    Be sure family and friends are financially safe and stable. But not support my kids, just provide some extra each month for basics.
    Supplement my grandson’s education.
    Donate to St Jude
    For myself…be clear of endless stress over the future and
    I would own a cottage in Cornwall maybe on a cliff overlooking the ocean.
    Also own a loft in downtown of a visually inspiring & interesting city NOT in Texas. (Weather will be a factor in choosing, mild summers)
    Travel up the Adriatic Sea coast. Then to places I haven’t been to in decades in Europe and new ones. UK & Ireland.
    Also to Singapore.
    Spend time in New England.
