    Tell my wife I now have “fuck you money”, and then fuck her lots because she could quit her shitty stressful job and have energy again.

    Not sure how much money that is, but I would start a “quiet landscaping” company that used reel mowers instead of gas mowers, rakes instead of leaf blowers, and I would undercut every landscaping company in my town just to promote the idea of a quiet neighborhood.

    Not tell anyone and see how little work I can do at work before they fire me. I bet I could even get promoted.

    It’s definitely a tie between buying and remodeling a house in the city I live in (probably in one of the nicer areas in town but definitely not the nicest because I don’t want to deal with stuck up prick neighbors who’d think they’re better than me) and just going on an art commission spree of getting a red sheet for my fursona and then getting a very high quality partial fursuit and clothes to match his style.

    Depends on the amount. If it’s millions or double digits billions - just live life safely while providing for myself, family and friends. If trillions or close to one trillion - heavy investments, heavy usage, adaption and implementation of the plans to end hunger globally that were proposed to Muskrat by UN, development of similar plans to end homelessness, addiction. Immediate global warming countermeasures. Influence political agendas of countries towards implementing socially beneficial policies like UBI, robotization of manual labor. Basically taking off the burden off of working class and humans as a whole.

    I’d pay off all my debts, put away enough to be able to quit my job without losing any income, and give the rest away. I already have everything I want and need, the move now is to get rid of shit I don’t want.

    Buy a delorean, eat sushi everyday, and give my wife whatever she wants because she’s my angel and I love her.

    Buy off all the politicians and have them implement policies that will benefit the working class. Invest heavily in renewable energy sources and public transportation. Buy all the comic books.

    Buy me an oil rig and open a hacker space there. Pretty obvious choice no?

    Assuming “fuck you” money is along the lines of being able to give away money without feeling a hit, I think it would be very interesting to use the money to donate to small open source projects to help them grow and expand with new features and resources.
