If I Was Rich

And bought the Mona Lisa, and burned it, would that be Illegal ?

Not that I could, or would, but when I am not on meds, I become self destructive. I throw everything away, could care less about money. Wonder what sort of trouble a person like me would get into if I had a endless supply of money.

If I was rich, I’d probably blow it all one way or another. I’m lousy with money. Throw in that I feel like having a significant amount paints a target on me to certain scummy people. Idk weird thought but it occurs to me here and there and prompts me to empty my pockets.

If you burned the mona lisa, I think there’d be significant enough backlash that breaking a law would be the least of your worries?

The mona lisa should be burned it’s ugly in my opinion.

But I’m pretty sure you wouldn’t be breaking the law, as far as I know you can do anything you want with your own property.

I’d set up a John Perry like centre, combined with modern day medications and therapies.

I like the idea of having outlets for psychosis, i.e music room and a room to destroy things. Safe space and trained medical staff. A nice garden that participants can help to ground and grow things in.

If I was a millionaire I would buy a million lottery tickets.

If I was rich, I would need a really good accountant and financial planner. I am an impulsive spender when I go through manic phases, so I probably wouldn’t be responsible if I had access to all of that money. I’d go nuts then feel guilty about it and hate myself.

If I was rich, I’d be perfectly responsible with it. I’d invest it all and make even more money with it. Of this I am sure as the sun coming up in the morning. And I’d make sure that I take all of my meds and follow all of my pdoc’s advice so I don’t get manic and blow it all.

I think you might. Hard to tell.

I heard a news story about a man who won the family home after a divorce settlement (sole ownership).

I guess looking at the house made him angry. He rented something like bulldozer from an equipment yard and mowed it down.

He was arrested. This kind of puzzled me too. Maybe there was still a bank mortgage to be payed off or it was done in a dangerous way.

So if he got that over a house, then i think you might be in some kind of trouble.

I would do what Bill Gates is doing: Give away 99% of my money for humanitarian causes.

health care (with an emphasis on research for schizophrenia)
educational scholarships
potable water and medicine for poor countries
human rights
science

That’s all I can think of at this time.
