No such thing. Ask away!

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.

Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

A million dollars doesn't really change your life much, the biggest difference is probably owning a home or having more money invested, but you're still going to have to work.
Pretty much dead on.
Million isn’t that big of a dollar amount when you look at cost of living
Million dollars is enough to retire if you invest that into stock markets and life off the interests which would average 70k a year.
Assuming you already own a home, and the stock market stonks upward forever, yeah. Otherwise you’re renting and in 30 years when rent is 15k/month you're outta luck.
I own a house and I don't make anywhere even close to 70k a year.
Yes it does assume economic growth over the rest of my lifetime but it has done that for the past 100+ years so it's not a completely unreasonable expectation and even if that is not the case then we'd all be screwed either way.
Ok,
I'd have paid off my student loans and mortgage already, as that's the first thing I'd do as soon as I received the money.
I guess a typical Friday would involve me waking up at noon, pottering about in my pyjamas for a few hours, then working on whatever project I have on the go. I'm one of those people who has an obsession-of-the-month, and I can't imagine that would change.
I'd have more time to spend with my kids and partner than I do, which I imagine would be nice.
On the whole, I don't think it'd be wildly different to how I live now - only that without the pressure that I have to work so many hours a day, I'd have more time to spend with my family.
A millionaire? I'd work my nine to five job and live in a 2 bedroom house in a suburb.
Is this like a '13 Going on 30' situation, where I am waking up this Friday morning suddenly in the body of this 30 year old woman? Or have I been this woman the whole time, and I'm just waking up to a normal Friday morning in my life? Final clarifying question, is it still Valentines Day in this scenario, or is it an unrelated Friday morning?
My answer will change drastically depending on the details of this scenario.
you been this woman all your life and it's normal Friday morning, it's not Valentines Day, unrelated Friday.
It's starting off with a lot of being 'eepy and bedrotting, probably until 10 or 11 am. Once I finally feel like getting out of bed, I'd go out to a really nice local cafe with a laptop, have tea and a light breakfast while working on fielding emails/calling clients/whatever admin is necessary for the business that makes me millions. After maybe four hours of working and sipping tea, I'd take an early break, and text my boytoy to see if he wants to see a movie tonight. I'd want to go to a trendy art-house theater and watch something deep and thought-provoking, just to be amused at dinner afterward as the man attempts to engage in thoughtful conversation about what we saw. I'd bring him back home, destroy his body and subjugate his soul, and then send him back home before midnight so I can bedrot alone for another hour.
Yes, this is brilliant, I want more from others! Thanks
I'm not judging, but this is an odd fetish
When you say "until I close my eyes" does that mean I revert to being a male non-millionaire after?
If so, definitely rewriting my will to give everything to the old me when I revert. Yoink!
I'd try out a lot of the clothes I wish I could look good in. Especially now that I can afford them
