You wake up Monday morning and check your bank account.

It says your available balance is $125,534,298.00. you call the bank to tell them there has been a mistake, but they assure you there is no mistake and that is your balance. What do you do? How do you spend your day and the next week. Be as specific as you want.

Ok. I would make much more extensive inquiries about the deposit. I would ask to see the security footage of the person who made the deposit, and I would request the bank to contact them to make sure they had intended to deposit that money to my account. I would not just accept the word of the first ding-bat with whom I spoke on the phone.

THAT would probably take at least two weeks. If the bank were uncooperative, I would make a police report, and/or tell the bank that I was making a police report.

@Stereoguy I don't know how the police cleared a wire. I would not touch the money.

@Stereoguy Well, I actually did have that much money at one time. My mother wanted my brother and I to have our inheritances early, as long as we paid for her nursing home, also. I bought a foreclosure in Lansing, Michigan and put $40 K into repairs, and then the housing market crashed. I should have been able to sell the house for $139 K and then one disaster after another. I ended up losing about 30K, and I bought a car, paid up.

But in a perfect world, I would have flipped another house with the profit from the first.

@Stereoguy Ooohhhhh. I thought I read $125,000. No, I didn't have $125 million. With my 401k it was about 140K.

@Stereoguy Well, I've told you some of them already. But heck...that's a lot of money. I would start out the same way...I would try to disaster proof the money so that if the same sort of bad luck happened, I would still be able to have an old, old age in a nice little apartment with a kitchenette in a care facility.

I know that my son won't take care of me personally, so it would be really nice to be able to have that in my final years. I would set aside enough in a trust so that I could have an income even if I lost my mind and mismanaged everything. (I thought of that because of my mother and her dementia).

And then I would buy a nice house with my 4 man jacuzzi inside a 4 season room, and a super, super security system. I'd like to have a very high wall around my place, so that only birds could come in, or mice, and I'd like to have a barn so I can shelter homeless cats and pay a vet and a couple of cat wranglers...😂

I'd like to have a really nice garden, with lots of vegetables and herbs, and a flower garden in the distance, and a gardener to take care of it.

And I'd like to have a chef, and maybe even get a massage once a week.

By the time I pay for all of that, I think I would be near to broke, but I would have a nice house to leave my son. 😂
