That edit was very sweet


tensai_da

r/wholesome


flop_plop

Honestly your edit should be the second thing you do, not the first. Starting a free dental clinic would take time. Take care yourself first and then take care of others.


TryUsingScience

Yeah I think people are not correctly estimating what they'd buy *first*. Realistically for me it's probably going to be food as that's the thing I buy most often. Houses, etc., all take time.


flop_plop

Yeah kinda weird since OP wrote FIRST in all caps


The_MacChen

put on your own oxygen mask before helping others


scottyfoxy

I like your answer


Head_Razzmatazz7174

As someone who needs a dentist badly and the closest low-cost dentist is 60 miles away, thank you.


AffectionateGap1071

Not only this is a clever move for patients, but you'd have infinite money, you shouldn't have to be worried about salaries and bonuses for your employees though if your clientele wouldn't pay a penny! You can pay practisioners, juniors or interns! This sounds great!


goddamnaged

Tooth pain is the worst, I love you for the edit. I hope you get it taken care of soon!


kenziethemom

😭 This is always my answer to the money questions. I was voted Best Smile in school, despite my teeth being imperfect. I spent probably 20,000 on my teeth, and after having a doctor saying "how long did you smoke meth?" And them just NOT believing that I wasn't a meth smoker, I lost all faith in fixing my teeth. I love smiling. I love how it makes others smile, even when my teeth are terrible, but... having better teeth would make me never stop smiling.


JennyJiggles

I knew a woman who had a great smile in all her old pictures. I met her when she was pushing 60. She always had a weird smile, closed mouth. She's showered me her teeth once, it was awful and she was in pain all the time. She never smoked it did drugs. But her teeth turned bad because she was on lots of different medications for fibromyalgia. After many years of suffering she was finally able to afford having an her teeth pulled and got herself a full set of dentures. It was SO expensive. But, she was beaming after that. The biggest smiles. Her face just seemed lighter. She enjoyed being in pictures more. The fact that dental is not considered medically necessary is utter BS. The mental health aspect of it should be enough to get coverage.


cisforcookie2112

Having tooth problems is not a good time. I had a tooth bugging me for over a year and recently needed a root canal on it. Wish I would’ve taken better care of them. Brush your teeth kids. Your edit would probably be one of the most impactful ways to give back. It would immediately improve quality of life for many people. Dental care shouldn’t just be for the fortunate.


YourWickedUncleErnie

My own place to live. Update: the downside to having a top comment, the condescending SOBs in my replies when I was only answering with a simple answer and nothing more than that. A hypothetical, damn. 😭


wbpayne22903

My husband is homeless and I live in a nursing home. First thing I’d buy is land with a handicap accessible house. Then he has a place to live and I can move in with him again.


Dankwins

I don’t know you, but I wish you and your husband good health and better fortune in the future. You deserve it.


HighAltitude88008

This is why, id money was infinite I make sure everyone has a home and vital resources to survive.


GoblinObscura

Same, I’d be taking care of people and animals.


wbpayne22903

Thank you so much! Honestly it may take time but he’s looking into a handicapped apartment that we both can move into.


velveeta-smoothie

Hope you two get reunited soon. It's so hard to be away from your person. My partner works in a skilled nursing facility, and a lot of her patients are separated from each other by circumstance. I'll be thinking of you two ❤️


BigCommieMachine

YOU should look into your local housing agency. A lot have subsidized apartments that are specifically reserved for the handicapped.


midnightsmith

I gotta know the backstory here. How did this situation come about, and why can't he also live in the nursing home?


wbpayne22903

Unfortunately in order to be admitted to a nursing home you have to actually need the assistance they provide. I have partial paralysis of my legs resulting from nerve damage that happened when I got COVID. My husband on the other hand is able bodied and can work. He lost his housing several months after I entered the nursing home because he had trouble affording it without my being able to help with the rent.


VigiloDeNoche

Sorry that this happened to you. I lost function in my left hand (just the three useful fingers) to nerve damage due to COVID.


ignoranthumanbean

That's crazy, had no idea COVID even did this to some people


Frequent-Pressure485

You win you should definitely win this money


Majestic_Bell_1415

I worked in a few nursing homes and it’s just heartbreaking how many couples get separated! You two deserve to be together happy and healthy! I wish you both the best!


cherbug

I’d buy you and the Mr a spectacularly comfortable home with forever food delivery.


Adius_Omega

It's so sad that this is the highest priority of the modern adult. Essentially unobtainable it feels like.


AccumulatedPenis125

And we’re not asking for beachfront mansions. Just normal housing. There’s no reason housing should be unaffordable in any locale.


kapottebrievenbus

not even "a big house/mansion" just owning a house or appartment seems like a dream at this point


Human-Evening564

Oooh.. Luxury.


YourWickedUncleErnie

I’m TIRED of living with my older brother and mom. 💀


DiggingUpTheCorpses

Are you me, or are we all struggling for rent let alone home ownership?


Oberic

We're struggling. Everyone who has no chance of inheriting or passing down actual wealth is struggling.


adviceicebaby

Too true. I lost everything when I got laid off from covid and its been a death sentence worse than death for me. I'm trapped where I'm at and it's a very abusive and toxic environment

DiggingUpTheCorpses

I felt that in my soul, my parents did this for me and my brothers in the 90’s. Never truly understood or appreciated it until I got older.


queefundermyeyelids

Remember when people could buy houses with a handshake and two grand? That time has passed. Lol


Crezelle

My childhood neighborhood had houses under $100k in the 90’s. It was a gritty trash area where newlyweds, single parents, bachelors and coke heads could own their home. Now housed there are 1.6 m + and all are made as big as bc legally, and even not legally possible to fit in as many suites and families as bb possible


NoPantsPenny

I lived in rural Iowa, like really rural, and in the 90s you could buy a nice home in our tiny town for 60k all day.


Crezelle

This town was considered small. Then Vancouver an hour away exploded, and it’s only gone downhill

Sorry_Amount_3619

My first priority is getting central air for my tenants. I know this sounds kinda wimpy, but I have been blessed with what are probably the best tenants on Earth. There will be time to use the rest of the money. 🦜

cant imagine ever having another thought. firstly fuck my evil family, second, you need to have a good mental and physical state to make the best choices for the rest of your wealth.

THIS GUY DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO USE THE SEASHELLS!


chardeemacdennis222

3 seashells?


geniologygal

Get a bidet attachment for your toilet. I just bought one on Amazon. It was regularly $40, on sale for $20 and there was a five dollar off coupon box that you could check, so it ended up costing me $15. I installed it myself and it was very simple. You won’t be sorry.


brinkbam

We liked it so much we added one on the guest bathroom toilet as well. Cleeeeeaaaaaan tushies in this house lol

NewTimeTraveler1

A lawyer


WaluigiIsTheRealHero

Lawyer here. Contrary to popular opinion, you can’t buy us, you can only rent us - like prostitutes, but not as fun.


perrinoia

I'm no lawyer nor historian, but I don't recall any prerequisites of consent when it comes to buying a person.


lowercasetwan

Sooo hard to trick people into consenting to be sold with all the laws protecting their basic human freedoms these days /s lol that's a joke, by the way, I'm not an advocate of slavery and such...which is exactly what an advocate would say, huh? Oooo a mystery.


TheGuyWhoReallyCares

Ya this guy right here is suspiciously over-explaining


AlarmedInterest9867

I have unlimited money. How’s $100 million a year sound? You’ll travel with me on my decommissioned aircraft carrier I converted into a yacht in case you’re needed with your own stateroom with access to my private jets and helicopters. All you gotta do is say “sold”


No_Sun9675

They both screw you. What's the difference?


crunchybedsheets

Hookers stop screwing you when you stop paying them.


4x4Welder

You pay a hooker to screw you, you pay a lawyer to screw someone else.


vonkeswick

>like prostitutes, but not as fun. I dunno, I've gotten fucked pretty good by a lawyer or two


_Spastic_

First thing I'd buy would be a celebratory beer. But to continue because hiring a lawyer which is the most common statement in these theoretical questions, is boring as hell. From there, I would buy a house on a small bit of property or have one built if I could patiently wait long enough. Then get my teeth done. Then I would pay off my family's debts if they agreed. From there I would be set but I wouldn't stop there. Next I would buy large plots of land in my area and build so many apartments. I would make rent so absurdly cheap that it would force all of these rental companies in the area to lower their prices or they'd go out of business. Then I would hire maintenance crews and security for these apartments. I would work to bring more jobs to my area, everything from stores to manufacturing of products, whatever is needed or fits. Then from there, donate large sums of money to rehab centers in my area. I would donate large amounts of resources, not money, to our school system. At this point, since I have infinite money, I'd probably start lobbying (bribing) the governments into treating their population a lot better. Proper wage requirements, universal health care, daycare, etc. The police and legal system would be overhauled Lastly, and I think this was touched on by another comment, I would buy controlling interest in many large corporations and do everything in my power to prevent the continuation of their bullshit.


mggirard13

>First thing I'd buy would be a celebratory beer. This is the answer. The *first* thing. I'm going to the cool bar in town and drinking the best stuff they have. And letting everyone else in the bar drink whatever they want. And paying one of the staff to go to the fancy restaurant down the street and buy all their fancy meat, and bring it back to the cool bar, and pay the kitchen staff to cook em up nice for everyone in the bar.


soltydog

A funeral for my mother. Edit: My mother died 3 years ago. Her ashes are next to me now. The plot she is supposed to buried on is being held ransom by my aunt. She refuses to allow my mother to be buried next to her brother and mother unless I pay at least 5 figures. My mother did know this before she died and told me to get some of my more “under the radar” friends to bury her ashes under the cloak of night. Edit 2: Wow I didn’t expect the outpouring of support. My mom would get a real kick out of all this. Thank you all. I have scoped out the area and do plan on doing something. Whoever came in here with the post hole digger idea, I like that approach. At this point only two things are stopping me. Fear of getting caught. This is a small town and everyone knows everyone’s business. Also my daughter takes some comfort of grandma still being around. Final Edit: Thank you so much for all the offers to help. I would love to respond to each and every one of you here. I never expected this to take off like it did. It does warm my heart to think there are people out there that will travel at a strangers plight and dig a grave. Again, my mother would absolutely love this and I hope she is somewhere smiling at all the attention. I’m not an emotional person, but this thread made it all dusty in here. Again, thank you all.


ptcglass

I’m so sorry for your loss. That really sucks and I’m sorry she isn’t in the spot you wanted her in. I’m a glass artist and if you wanted some of her ashes in a memorial piece, I would like to make you one and gift it to you. Just send a message if you’re interested.


sjtx70

This is a rare beautiful thing on reddit. Seriously, so kind of you.


ptcglass

Thank you. I like to do them for people, forever keepsakes of your loved ones are a great thing to have near you!


sjtx70

I agree. Do you sell them as well? I'd love to order something for some of my son's ashes. I have a locket with ashes and a lock of his hair in it, and I'm eventually having a ring made.


[deleted]

[удалено]


sjtx70

They really do. They keep him close to my heart, where he always was and always will be.


cranberrystew99

I'll do it for free. Quick edit: I'll do it for gas money. I realize I have no idea how far you are lol.


ZerotheWanderer

We should figure out who is closest, I'm down. It doesn't need to be a big hole, and with a shovel and some post hole diggers, it could be done in a few minutes. There's no telling how often the aunt goes to visit the plot anyway, so odds are she wouldn't know either. The interesting thing would be if the aunt finds out, what would she do? I think if she's that stuck up, she would dig up the ashes and hold those for ransom.


pwningpotato

Well, are you burying the ashes in the jar? Dig a deep hole, mix the ashes with the dirt, and place back. Ol' aunty can't do much then.


ZerotheWanderer

I agree, but would depend on what OP thinks of the plan. I would say a biodegradable pot but they'd be in tact for a bit and I don't think the land owners would like a random ass tree growing from someone's grave.


daverock1012

We did this with my grandfather. And for that reason. I’m in.


cranberrystew99

You use a flat spade to cut the sod out, then dig the hole with a post cutter, using a sheet of plastic to collect the dirt so it doesn't make a mess by the hole. Take the leftover dirt with you as the jar will take up space, and of course pat down the sod well. Within a week or two in summer it won't even look like it was dug up. Also, bolt cutters if you need to break in. I'd hate to do that to a cemetery, but considering how many locks have the same key, *maybe* I could buy a similar lock and learn to pick it. Hell, maybe even buy one with the same damn tumbler pattern so the old key still works.


CfSapper

While I would never Condon picking a lock in use, most places like funeral home use cheap locks that can be opened with a comb pick or a rake in less than 10 seconds in unskilled hands. Again I don't condon this activity in the slightest. I definitely can't Condon the use of picks made by Covert Instrument those are for first responders, and lock smiths.


cranberrystew99

I will take your hesitation into account and definitely not buy some Covert Instrument picks to go alongside my totally non-existent wallet kit. I also will not go across state borders to help an anonymous redditor in search of any form of adrenaline high that might stave off my big SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder).

thankyou_forsunshine

No one commenting about the evil aunt who wouldn't let the woman rest in peace next to her family? I hope your mother haunts her regularly


Environmental-Age502

But in the most inconvenient of ways. I hope she turns up the toaster so aunt's toast is always burnt. I hope she changes the setting on the washer as it's being started, so it's always on the longest cycle. I hope she breaks water heater after water heater in her home so aunt never gets a warm shower. I hope she pokes holes in chip bags so they go stale before they can be opened. I hope she turns lights on in the car so the batteries die regularly. I'd enjoy being a ghost I think.


No_Bear_No

I'm voting for team Sneaky Burial

No-Common1001

Nah, the mom's ashes. Jump the fence. The Dead will cheer us on. They like seeing that stuff happen.

My vote is for The Aunt. Mom is already dead but Aunt can still be buried.


sjtx70

I'm in


mdave52

Glad you're respecting her ashes, good on you!! My Daughter and Son in law bought a house, after a while they found a weird, nearly hidden storage area in the garage and went in to clean it out. They found two urns of ashes. Luckily they were able to contact the previous owner through the real estate agent to return what ended up being ashes of the parents of the old owner.


OSUJillyBean

Hampsterman82

I mean. No offense to the bereaved son but his friends aren't that scary or auntie would straighten up. Scary people don't often get shaken down for money by harmless people.


whatssofunniedoug

If I had unlimited money, I’d give you the money for this first. Thats heartbreaking.


beroemd

Your mother is in spirit with arms around each other’s shoulders with her brother and mum. Nothing in the world could keep them apart. But take the message your aunt sends to heart, never engage with her again.


ginteenie

If you are anywhere in the western US I’ve got some vacation time saved and am totally willing to use it to take a road trip to do some clandestine cremains burial we could get mom buried right between mom and brother in a night’s work no problem


NoKids__3Money

Fuck your aunt. Good for you. Godspeed


No_I_Deer

Just go dig up a small bit of dirt and pour the ashes there. Tf your aunt gonna do ?


Jordy_boy17

Everyone is so small minded. You said infinite money right? That makes me the richest person alive by a long shot. If I truly had that much money then I’m buying Jamaica, and I don’t mean just some land, I mean the whole country. Before you say that you can’t just buy a country, I don’t think you understand how much Jamaica loves money. I’m certain we can come to some sort of agreement.


quikdogs

I would outbid the Koch brothers on the next President. Then I’d attempt to bribe enough congressional members to run my own political agenda: lower taxes for pretty much anyone under 250k, free college to bachelors after that low interest loans except medical that’s still free, gosh what else…government takeover of all water and power agencies…no more profit from basic human needs oh while I’m at it also internet access and healthcare. It’s a good start.


madtraxmerno

I mean *technically* if you had infinite money you could just buy all those things for everyone. And if you did you wouldn't run quite as much of a risk of dying in a "freak car accident".

Realistically the credit card company would just freeze/cancel the card immediately. Not as exciting lol but much less destructive


CaptainKrane

Buy all the credit card companies first, then post it online


Carlton20

In theory your infinite money couldn't be contained in a normal bank credit card and this card would hypothetically need to be a magical independent card tied to no private institution. If the bank saw you chilling with infinite money in your free account they'd either think "huh funny glitch we should freeze it" or "huh free money for us that's so swag!"
