i quit moving and went back to school right around 91-92 and moved up to Oregon in 93 so there may have been some overlap. looks like you were there right before Ord was closed and the 7th Infantry moved to Ft. Lewis. last time i drove around there was in the mid to late 90's when it was a ghost town, before CSUMB really became established and well before the state park and national monument were a thing. makes me want to get back down there and see how much things have changed.

Yeah, each time I was there, it was so incredibly different. The first time I was there, a friend moved with the 7ID up to Washington. She and her husband live around here in Indy now.

The 900sf duplex I used to live in on Fort Ord was knocked down and replaced by a 3500sf house between stays 2 and 3. A lot of Fort Ord still looked like an old Fort, but a lot of it didn't.

Where in Oregon were you? I went to school in Eugene, and my sister was in Portland.

If $100,000,000,000 is too much, what is ideal? 10M? 50M?

Like, imagine a choose your own adventure. You get 50 billion, or win the WSOP Main?

If I could stay completely anonymous and was able to give away 99.999% to worthy causes anonymously (which would be a massive headache in itself), I'd take the 100B. The greed these ****ers must possess to just want to keep generating more billions for themselves is as unfathomable to me as the amounts.

What is Jeff Bezos supposed to do at this point? Try to stop being profitable?

I'm having a hard time imagining what my ideal amount would be. Need at least a couple billion if I want to buy the White Sox when Reinsdorf quits the Earth.

But more realistically... 10-20 mill? I'd buy sick houses in 3 locations, eat incredibly well, and attend sports and flop around the world. I think if you win a large tournament (500k+) and the financial implications are irrelevant it would really take some spice out life.

Improving the working conditions of his slaves with some of those profits would be a start.

I don't think you'd get much change from 10-20 million just from buying the sick houses.

If I was forced to work warehouse jobs (Did a little in the 00s) I'd rather have an amazon warehousing job than any other warehousing jobs out there.

Gimme 5 million one time and I'd retire, get a few acres in the boonies, and road trip it across north america reviewing fast food deals. After a few years, do it all over again in SEA and buy some citizenship somewhere.

I play a lot of live poker so I have a bunch of cash to use. Today I paid off my credit card with said cash. Does anyone see a problem with doing this as opposed to transferring money from my bank account to pay it?

I appreciate any insight/advice.

They never thought it was weird, I even asked once cause I thought it was sketchy and the teller told me it happens all the time

It would be swell if he offered health insurance, 15/hr, and paid his taxes. It would barely faze him personally.

My work tried to institute a policy where we have to turn our cameras on for meetings and we should “dress for work from home as if we are in the office.”

No one’s doing it and I regularly go days without putting on pants.

Honestly, I can't see myself having any use for more than a million dollars.

I realize a million isn't what it used to be. But, beyond a solid home, sick computer, and decent investments that only require an hour or two of work each week, I don't think any more money would improve my happiness.

jmakin is right. In order to achieve multi-billionare status in the modern world, something has to be wrong/missing with you mentally. You simply can't get to that point walking the moral high road.

Yeah, I guess I meant multi-billionaires that aren't checking out of the game after a bink. They have some weird drive to continually consume.

If i somehow binked a million, I’d snap move to south asia and spend the rest of my days captaining and doing the occasional remote techy job whenever i felt like it, not because i had to.

You dont need billions to have an extremely awesome life. I probably put my number between 5-10 million assuming I never have children.

Yea, the mindsets of many of the super billionaires is pretty wild, straight up sociopaths. And if a bigger piece of their billions was taxed more, that would be the real tyranny!

As long as you had some income coming in from remote work, you could do this for a hell of a lot less than a milly!

Not sure it's always consumption (i.e., money-driven). For at least some, more like feeding their ego: "I created this phenomenon once, I can do it again."

No, you can't. Had an idea at the right time and luckboxed/executed it well enough to be noticed by MSFT or whoever.

I'm with the prevailing sentiment here. A place to live, enough money where you're unlikely to have to worry about health care (USA #n), bills, food, etc. With some left over to do the things you like to do.
