If I were Filthy Rich
By revanchist70+55 Will anyone else try to live a "Warren Buffett" lifestyle?
Meaning living comfortably but m+odestly. I would do my best with the only execption is having one place of living in a warmer state for the winter and a milder climate for the summer. Don't know if I would get actual houses or a condo for security when no one is there for the 6 months or so for the year. One modest car at each place and have them near major VA medical centers to keep getting free/low-cost healthcare.

+44 @lvansmoo Absolutely not. I respect it but if I beat 1 to 300 million odds, I will live large. Not so large I go broke, but whatever large I can afford based on financial advisor's budgeting.
+38 @Cocoasprinkles I already was forced to live modestly for almost forty years. I’ll live it up for the next forty as responsibly as possible but I promise you I won’t be looking forward to a McDonald’s breakfast on the regular.
+22 @CTU Not modesty, but not insanely over the top. I'd get really nice things for sure, and spend money on great vacations, but I won't be buying stupid expensive watches or fleets of cars or such.
+16 @O00OOO00O0 I'm a simple man. I have simple tastes. I know what's important to me and that's where I'll spend my money, not on a bunch of stuff I'll rarely or never use to impress people.
+16 @greenleaf187 Hell no! Lol Not spending all my money, but ill buy the nicest of the things i need. House? One summer house and one winter house just like yourself, but i like spacious, loads of windows, and a nice view. Nothing crazy, plenty of 5-10 million dollar houses. Car? Buying a sports car for sure, maybe a 911 or a Ferrari. upgrading every 2-3 years if it pleases me. Buying a luxury SUV for roadtrips! Got my eye on a Range Rover or G Wagon. Maybe both! Finally, a classic car. Havent thought of what yet! First class tickets for every trip. Plan to see the world so would love to fly as much as i physically can. Maybe hire a chef. I like to eat healthy, and i do love to cook. But if im that rich im only cooking if i really would like to. Clothes, i like to dress nice. I have a couple of 700 dollar tshirts right now, and honestly, i could see myself become loyal to a few brands. A few other expenses that i dont think ill need to break bank for. But everything i listed comes from initial money i win + whatever passive income it generates through investments.
