When do you say you have too much money? A lottery would count but when I think of that, being of finance background the first thing I think about is the tax. And then, I go into a spiral of thinking how I would need to invest it to save on that.

But leaving reality aside, I would want to build me a House. I want that house to have a reading room, an office space for me to to work in, an art room for me to go crazy.. but then reality steps back in. Who is going to clean up all of these rooms?

Closer to reality, I would want to make a Trust that would sponsor someone’s education and also let them have a small allowance to enjoy their special experiences like prom, graduation, birthday parties. I may not be uber rich but I am privileged, my parents may not have given me luxuries in life but I had always what I needed. I would like someone have that opportunity, to just be happy even if it’s just for a fleeting moment.

So, I believe the answer would be to buy for someone a happy memory.
