    I would sponsor FastbyKids kids and then send him to learn how a fast trap speed doesn’t necessarily translate to a fast lap time.

    The captain speaks the truth and is quite wise. He must be a good observer. I used to have money.... life wasn't easy at all. You basically walk around with a huge bullseye on your back and worry constantly about how to protect what you have. Its total BS. I would rather be broke and happy. Old money is a different thing (my family was poor). That sort of money is like a comfy pair of shoes.

    Thankfully all my family basically disowned me way back when I was a broke-ass drug-addled shit head.

    No-one has had the balls to try and weasel in yet. I guess I ain't rich enough to tempt them.

    As I typed that, I realized that I really don't care much about if they do or not. I had hoped I would be looking forward to telling them to sod off, but that idea really doesn't mean that much to me one way or the other.

    I suspect that lottery winner level money would pull a cockroach or two out of the woodwork.

    Every time I think about how really serious dough would be soooo frickin off the hook, I think about my acquaintance who's probably within spitting distance of 9 digits to the left of the decimal. Dude told me straight up that he very frequently looks in the mirror and struggles to come up with just one good reason not to suck-start a pistol.

    Yes, but the key word was "afforded", the past tense of having had that kind of money. :D

    Sweatypants I am so smart! S-M-R-T... I mean S-M-A-R-T!

    20+ acres, mostly wooded, slope on part of it...

    modest house, rad garage with decked out paint shop, indoor mtb jump park barn for cold/rainy days, multiple mtb lines built by pro builder group and jump lines on the hillside with a mini tow snowboarder lift thingy so i can shuttle myself, dirtbike track or small private road course paved... Singer 911, Emory 356, GT3RS, SLC Superlite with a 4-rotor peripheral port and 787B graphics, something neat and comfy to daily, F-100 full resto on bags maybe EV... TZ750, R7, Suter MMX500, NSR500v, RSA250, something new and modern and rad to daily, something common and cheap to track that won't make me cry if i crash it. take trips a lot. maybe some farm animals or lease some land out so i can look at them sometimes and not have to actually be a farmer or maybe lease out some land for a vineyard so i can have that view too. 2-3 dogs. maybe get a PhD just because I always wanted to but its economically prohibitive currently. sit outside and enjoy the sounds of the bugs and have peaceful evenings. enjoy living.

    For my immediate family I would pay off all their debt, buy them a modest house to raise a family in, and a brand new car...then tell them not to ask for anymore because they wont get it. I'd set up a fund to cover college tuition for my kids, nieces, nephews, and cousins for my immediate family

    Then I'd buy the top bike from each brand. A big as piece of land and have like 5 different tracks built on it.

    Travel to places I never thought I'd go.

    Retire and spend as much time with my kids as possible without making them hate being around me.

    Keep 1 million in order to just play with, then invest the rest so that future generations live off the investments once they reach specific goals that allow them to access it. This way they learn to work towards their own achievements and not think they can be trust fund babies.
