If you suddenly became rich what three task would you stop doing?
Doing my own laundry, cleaning the house, and washing the car. They are extremely time consuming when I could be doing something else.
I was going to answer with only one task (chore) and that is working to make a living.
Everything else I do is good for health, humility, compassion and generosity.
But then I realized that so is working to make a living. I thought I'd instead spend my time writing, painting and creating software. But these would only be valuable if other people found them to be valuable, so I'd end up making money off of them, if they were worthwhile actions. So, then I realized that I need not do something that wasn't worthwhile. So, if I want to write, paint and create software, I need to do a better job of it so that those actions are not selfish.
I'd stop my day job and just work for fun and fulfillment and create art. I'd stop worrying about money. And I'd stop worrying about what sells.
3 things I would stop doing: Worrying, pumping my own gas, and anything involving landscaping.
Everything else I pretty much enjoy doing. But if I thought it would help someone in need, I would pay them to do things like clean my house, and pay them a lot more than they would make somewhere else. Because someone did that for me once, and I think it would be excellent to repay that favor.
1. all work around the house.
2. all work related to my vehicles - gasing up, taking them in for service, washing, etc.
3. grocery shopping.

Do you think having a lot of money changes people? Would it change you?Jared, of Subway fame, is on his way to jail for dealing in child abuse of various types. I have to wonder if this would have happened if he had just stayed fat and poor. Maybe he was always a pervert and hid...
