What would you do if you had INFINITE CASH?

Hello there!

I have a quick question to you: what would you do if you had infinite cash?

Now, the reason I am asking you this question is because I just saw it on another forum (which has nothing to do with marketing btw) and I realized that this question, as much as it is a fun thought-experiment, is also a great unconscious measurement tool.

Here's what I mean: when you are asked this question, your true values, opinions (although you might not be so serious about the answer as it would not really become a reality, no really, millionaire is one thing, but infinite, nope) are revealed.

They are because you are free to play with your mind and say whatever feels "congruent" and "right" for you to so say. I realized this is actually a great question to ask oneself and everyone else as it forces you to be honest about your true relationship with money.

On the other forum, most answers were about themselves only, "I would get this and that" and I realized when I asked myself the question, "If I really had infinite cash, I could actually contribute to the world and not only think about myself".

So, my own answer, I realize today, is much more mature than it would have been a few years ago when I just got into this whole world of internet marketing and everything it entails.

I would first off, get an island for my mom and her dogs as I love dogs but I dislike cats. Then I would get myself a mansion with different sections where I and my (hopefully; cash make other people weird, particularly when you got all the cash) friends would hang out and do different stuff.

I would also consume lots of experiences such as parachuting and other experiences I cannot afford as of now. Finally, I would contribute to the world as I know from experience this is REALLY what would keep me happy and fulfilled as I know I would get bored with having infinite cash.

I would fix poverty in countries, develop technology so the earth can be habitable for the coming generations (as it looks now, my coming child which I might get within 10 years will probably not live until his 50s because of what we are doing to the earth).

What I think is great with this exercise is that we can force ourselves to be honest about ourselves in relationship to money and how we view it. This thought-experiment (depending on how serious you take it) is a great way to measure your own views, values and relationships you have regarding money.

It is a measurement of how focused you are on really WANTING TO PROVIDE VALUE TO THE WORLD (aka contributing) versus WANTING TO ONLY BECOME "RICH" OF CASH SO YOUR IRRATIONAL FANTASIES ARE FULFILLED.

Research in happiness shows that when we have enough money that we can get by without having to worry about it, we don't really become happier than the average person.

Happiness is perishable, and needs to be "exercised" on a daily basis to keep it fresh, in shape, healthy so to speak. Most things that make us happy are also free:

- Physical exercise
- Physical intimacy
- Enough sleep
- Healthy food
- Mindfulness
- Positive self-talk
- Socializing with people
- Following your passions
- Contributing to the world

This is what I have come to realized for the last 24 years of my life that I have lived so far.

I wanted to create this thread and hopefully discussion because I think it is an important piece of successful internet marketing as it forces you to be really honest about yourself and your relationship you have with money and success.
