Don't know why I must move to a cheap area... no, I would probably decide to stay here at least for half of each year. My lifestyle remains modest as well, but I would actually rebuild some parts of this old house.
There's only a small part of the world that I could actually influence so far in my life.
With the billions, I would try to expand this radius of course, but only slowly, only reluctantly, trying to stay wise. I would focus at first on the ones that are closer to me, and mitigate their needs. You did not require me to improve the whole world after all.
Yeah, cheap area will likely be a not-so-desirable place, unless you’re the type who likes to live in the boonies.
Thats the point.
The money isn't for you, and you don't get any of the benefits of having it. The only reason I allowed for a stipen for a modest living in a cheap area is because I knew that half the comments would be "First I buy land build houses for me and all my friends and family, buy everyone cars, and fund all their colleges, then with the hundred million left over, I'll help some homeless people" OR if I would have said you get no money at all, everyone would have said they wouldn't have time to do anything good because they still had to work full time and half to afford their bills. So, the compromise is you get a modest lifestyle in an undesirable area fully funded, or no money at all and you can continue to work full time and a half to afford your basic ass lifestyle while not helping anyone.
It said that I get money for such a lifestyle.
But now you add that I must actually move before I even get that little money.
You definitely want to clarify your "Question".
No, I would still play that game, but maybe my way of spending would concentrate even more on those where I expect something back.
I don't have that.
I don't have that either.
