If you suddenly became very rich, how would you actually use the money?

When I read about lottery winners on social media and on the news, a large number of them spend their winnings on vacations and luxury cars and parties and public donations to charity and I do not think they understand, that real happiness, comes by buying steak and kale and walnuts, not from buying 5 luxury cars, or wearing a gold chain around your wrist when you leave the house.

These lottery winners are rich, but their mind is still managing cash flow in poverty mode, which is why they do not live a lifestyle that matches their income.

If I won the lottery I would buy a house and I would pay off old debts that I have.

Buy my house and overhaul it

Fix my dad's car

Max out my premium bonds

Grow my business

Invest in my friend in exotic rentals business

Buy commercial real estate

I'll squander some on gifts and things I've wanted for years like a Royce Silver Cloud, a gravity strider, a Rolex Oysterquartz and other gold jewellery

I would use it for good - things that I really need, not irrelevant luxury... mostly for privacy, some aesthetics, and necessity.
