Wealthy as in having more fun money to spend w/o worry? New car, but something reasonable like a Subaru Outback, pedicures every couple of weeks, redo my kitchen floors and cabinets.
Money like hitting a $100+ mil lottery? After making sure family and close friends are secure, a small but private beach house, and travel, especially back to Ireland. It's fun to daydream......

Huh, we were just talking about this very topic at work yesterday!
I would buy myself a jar of marinated goats cheese every week. (Then a gym membership to work it all off!)
I would also buy a big bouquet of fresh flowers every few days.
A massage every week.
That's just for starters............

A personal trainer & chef, weekly pedicures and get my hair cut and styled regularly. I'd go to college (finally) and put my youngest two through college when the time comes. Retire and travel!

I think rather than a new car - or at least as well as a new car - I might want to hire a driver... I'm not sure. On the one hand, I hate driving. I do it out of necessity, not enjoyment. I am not one to just 'go out for a drive.' On the other hand, I think I'd feel guilty having someone responsible for taking me everywhere.
If I did get a new car, it'd have to be one that works with my wheelchair, which isn't easy to find. I might be better off with a mechanic who has fantastic access to parts so if it ever comes to that, I can replace/rebuild my engine so I still have my fabulous, wheelchair friendly interior.

A chef and someone to style my hair whenever I wanted. I'm sure there's more, LOL, but those come to mind first. Oh, and Joe Manganiello. I like this also! I'd add in my dream mansion, a housekeeper and gardener, a masseuse and hairdresser, and a top notch trainer to kick my butt into gear and save me from myself after all the fancy meals I'd indulge in.

I'd do a little addition on this house just to add on a nice, more modern master bathroom with a big soaking tub. My current masterbath has been in renovations by my dh for years and is unusable and tiny, tiny, tiny. I might add a third garage or an out building. Redo some of the flooring and maybe even renovate the entire kitchen while we're at it.. Add a sunroom with an endless pool. Oh, and hire a gardener. Would love fresh flowers in the house on a regular basis too. And someone to clean!
As far as additional homes, I'd have a little apartment in NYC to make going to see Broadway shows and other performances regularly much easier. I'd want another one perhaps where ever my daughter ends up living.

I'm happy where I am but I'd add a pool. Make that a HUGE pool. I'd also buy a few bracelets. Maybe I'd hire a butler.

A full-time maid/housekeeper and a personal chef. Then we have a gazillion and one updates that need to be done on this house, so some construction crews/contractors. A new car. Oh, a personal shopper, I have no fashion-sense. Interior decorator. Eh, that's good for now All this. But I'd probably have the house built. Who am I kidding? I'd have a few houses, lol. What I'd have in each house is a whole other thread. I'd throw in a landscaper, too. I hate to garden. I'd also go for the weekly massages & pedicures every other week.

Oh gosh---I guess I would like some quiet retreats to escape to. Not necessarily giant mansions somewhere, but just some quiet property on a pretty lake or something down in the Lowcountry of our state.

I would be a one-woman job creation scheme...a chef, housekeepers - more than one to keep all the rooms in my large beach front house clean, a personal trainer and sundry other instructors for any sport I might feel like doing at a point in time, gardener(s) to keep the grounds of said large house up to scratch, a hairdresser on call. Basically a bunch of people to keep my life running smoothly, while I concentrate on living life to the full!

Pay off any debts we have, and those of my loved ones. Set up a trust fund for the boy. Move to PA ASAP, and get a nice home there. Hire a housekeeper, and a personal trainer. Travel. Buy a small home in the UK. Travel some more. Buy a small RV to travel around North America in. And last, travel to meet any pea friend I wanted to, anywhere!
PS...while sharing my wealth with those (in our estimation) who need it the most, and contributing to our church!

Dh and I were just talking about where we'd like to move if we could move anywhere. We decided on Hawaii. The warmth and relatively mild changes in barometric pressure would be great for both of us. Dh wants to play golf everyday, and I want to be on the beach in the sun and sand.
I'd try to ride again, but if I couldn't I would love to teach kids to ride and have some great horses, and cats, and dogs, and birds.
A small plantation with oceanfront land as well as some grass for horses would be perfect. I'd have a studio to work on my arts and crafts right on the beach. We'd have a smaller, eco-friendly house with a great master suite facing the ocean with a ceiling that opened up to the sky. I'd have a large whirlpool and and rain shower for dh in our spacious spa bathroom. We'd also have a heated pool, a kitchen and area for entertaining, a media room for movies.
I'd move my bestest friend and her family with us, where they'd get to have their own place, right by ours. So we could hang out together. We'd get someone to clean our houses and cook--so we could enjoy her children, and work on our art projects.
Dh's best friend has MS and is by himself. If he wanted to move, he could come, too. I'd pay for everyone's medical care.
I'm sure dh and I would finally be able to adopt a few children. Those that nobody else wants.
We'd have a few cars, and travel when we wanted to do so.
I'd make sure all my friends and family are taken care of for life.
I'd also like to go back to areas where we used to live, and do something grand for the friends and acquaintances that made a positive impact in our lives. My former doctors and their staffs, my favourite stylist, people that gave of themselves and expected nothing in return.

I would build the house of my dreams. Not necessarily a huge house, but one that was exactly the layout I wanted, with everything I could think of in it, and a really nice workshop for my husband to work on old cars. I would have more than one car for myself. One for fun and one for driving around the grandkids. We would travel lots of places, and probably have permanent places to stay in some of those. I particularly would love to have a place in London and NYC and in the Cayman Islands (but not on Grand Cayman). Certainly we would have staff! Season tickets to the theater and the Atlanta Braves. And then what I would do for my family... soooooo much! We would probably have our own subdivision.
