1 million dollars in this economy is sadly not worth as much as it used to be, so I’d probably invest it. After growing the money a bit to the point I’m set for life, I’d start philanthropizing. I’d probably ask people smarter than me about what the most good I can do with the money I have is, ala effective altruism. I might start my own charities/organizations. I can’t really imagine myself splurging much on expensive things without feeling guilty about the people who need my money more than me that I could be helping. I’m a total simp for ethics.
If I was rich enough, I’d hire lobbyists to try and get the goverment to tax the rich, get rid of the electoral college, and ban lobbyists lol, among other things. Idk, I’d just try my best to make a dent in the suffering people live through.
Couple thoughts:
