    If you won the lottery, what’s the first irresponsible thing you’d do with the money?

    No paying off student loans, no buying your parents a house. It has to be irresponsible but not necessarily indefensible. Great icebreaker question.

      I’d buy vast swathes of land in the countryside, and just make it a homeless refuge. They can erect a tent town if they want, host festivals, do farm work for money. Whatever, they’re protected from the police.

        I’ve had similar thoughts, but also then I was worried about legal liability if there’s drugs, violence, arson (not saying homeless are bad - these things happen even amongst middle aged middle class people)

        I prefer to become a big benefactor of a charity that does good work and attend the board meetings.

          Oh they might definitely do these things, but mainly they will drive the local rent and house prices down, so it’s still a win-maybewin

      Rebuild my favorite car. A charcoal grey 1986 SAAb 900 SPG, that I heavily modified the engine, drivetrain, suspension, and wheels
