    Until you don't have money and people feel like it's owed to them. It either settles down or you end up in bad shape.

    Or you use the last of your money to tell the public how this journey went and that it's coming to and end through diverse media perhaps with some levels of proof to be sure to be left alone.

    Money CAN buy happiness, if you spend your wealth on hilarious shenanigans.

    If I were filthy stinking rich, I'd use my fortune to do something like buy a fancy private golf course and set up a luxury community on the grounds whose sole purpose would be to house the destitute and downtrodden.

    There'd be gourmet buffets set up on the 8th and 19th holes, and if you make more than 10k a year, you can't fucking golf there. In fact, any trespassing rich would be shot

    Having worked retail before, it’s to prevent people shoplifting and returning items.

    At the store I used to work, some people would dig through the trash cans outside to look for receipts for items paid in cash and try to shoplift and then return them.

    parent root

    It's also to prevent an infinite money glitch with credit card rewards. Pay with credit card -> get cash back from the rewards -> get refunded in cash at the store -> use cash to pay credit card -> repeat.

    This has been my plan since my 20's (im now 40):

    Win lottery. Start an LLC where i hire my friends and family as employees so you can pay them a salary, instead of them asking for $. The only thing that is asked of them is to go out into the world and give out $1,000 a week to someone that is doing something kind and good for others, or someone that is clearly struggling. They can divide it up and give out to multiple people, but its at minimum $1k a week.

    I was Christmas shopping in a mall a few years ago when I was standing in line to pay for my kids toys Christmas gifts. I was second in line. A person appeared out of nowhere and asked the person in front of me if she could pay her gifts. The woman was shocked and said it's not necessary, but the stranger insisted and said they went from store to store to pay for other people's gift and that she insisted to pay. After she paid, she went to the next store and continued to pay for other people's gifts. 

    Everyone was shocked and shared an "aaaaaaww" moment and they all agreed that the world needed more of those people.

    However, behind me were a couple of parents whom I overheard arguing about whether they could afford the gifts for their kids this year and they clearly were struggling financially. These people would have appreciated and probably benefited much more than the middle aged woman who tried to turn down the offer. 

    I can't help but thinking that paying for a stranger's purchase right out of the blue is a waste of money. Give people that are in need the money instead.
