if you had a lot more money than you do, would you start hiring people to do stuff for you?

Anything math related, but we already have a family accountant for that. I guess I wouldn't though. I can't imagine having enough money for myself, nevermind supporting another.

Hm. I already hire someone to clean my house once a month. I might hire them more often, if I had more money. And I have a massage person I go to.

So I'm gonna go with my own personal DJ and PR team to follow me around and make my life sparkly.

Until I get bored of that.

Probably I'd just travel more, really.

Cook. I try my best to eat healthy but it takes up more time. Having someone to cover all that would take a lot of pressure off my life, and let me enjoy food that is made by someone else!

I almost said match maker, but... then I remembered all my bad experiences from the past with that one :P

I said personal trainer, but what I am more looking for a professional kinesiologist to monitor my workouts to make sure I am moving properly. I do a lot of compound lifts that are very easy to do incorrectly, and I would love to have someone knowledgeable monitor my motion and form. If I had enough money, I would hire one.

Chauffeur because I can't drive. Personal trainer because I need someone to teach me how to work out properly and make sure that I do it. Massage therapist because mmm, massages.

If I had a lot of money, I wouldn't want to blow it all on completely useless things, but I feel like these three are things I could really get some use out of. Though realistically, I'd probably just rely more on cab/chauffeur services when I need them rather than hiring my own.

seamstress and stylist, so I could have good-looking clothes that actually fit me. Mass production doesn't seem to realize that a long torso and a small bust can coexist, meaning most shirts that are long enough on me are too big in the chest and vice versa.

Also chauffeur, because I don't like driving. Although ideally I'd live somewhere that I can mostly walk and/or use public transit.

I'd really like a cook. I like cooking sometimes, but if someone else could help me on evenings when one more exhausting effort is the difference between ramen and something healthy, I'd be that much healthier.

I'd also like a poet. If I have money, I'm going to spend some of it on being a patron of the arts.

Finally, an escort. Because there's nothing like having someone to walk with who is paid to respond to callsigns as if we're starfighter pilots: "Blue leader to Blue 2, shields forward as we enter the trench."

Oh man that would be SO COOL.

I'm not sure ... cleaner, seamstress, and a language tutor I think. I only speak English and I would really like to learn Mandarin properly (did it at school but had to drop it when I changed schools and the new one didn't offer it), and at least one European language. (And Latin and Greek and Hebrew and all sorts of things, but let's start with one or two ...)

IT person, handyman and interior decorator. Because I fail pretty hardcore at all of those things.


Also, why isn't spider killer on that list??? I would absolutely employ someone 24/7 to kill spiders for me.

Personally, I want my own cheerleading squad. Shouting encouragement and mocking other people's teams. Just sayin'.

(I get to pick the uniforms, of course...)

off topic, but my daughter just killed a spider with her bare hands (I'm pretty sure) and brought it to me and I almost shit myself, then tried to retract and calm down because I don't want her to be afraid of them like I am. but... AHHHHHH!

I went with Maid, Cook and Masseuse, but I could live without a cook if I could have a combined lawyer/ accountant who was particularly skilled in internet and entertainment law who didn't mind me calling at 1am to answer my stupid questions ^.^

Also, woo, go spacebaby :)

Maid, Chauffer and Seamtress. It would be a miracle to go from having hardly any clothing that I like, or that fits to having bespoke clothing only. *sigh*
What was once before you - an exciting, mysterious future - is now behind you. Lived; understood; disappointing. You realize you are not special. You have struggled into existence, and are now slipping silently out of it. This is everyone's experience. Every single one. The specifics hardly matter. Everyone's everyone.

Maid (I really, really hate cleaning)

Personal trainer (Someone just has to make me do it!)

Historian (I always forget to take pictures and document my own life.)
