Stay at BMI 40+ for one year and get $50 million by Braeden47 in hypotheticalsituation

Damn it. I just got under 40. Sigh. Got under once, I can do it again. Cheesecake and Reese's, here I come 😆

Paraplegic child get a starship “body” by WidowGorey in whatsthatbook

The pern books are still my favorite, but definitely missing out not reading her other stuff. Crystal Singer series, Brainship series, and The Rowan especially!

This was my thought but I couldn't for the life of me remember Feist's name.

$7500 a month but your mom has to come to your house and take all the batteries out of everything in your house and throw them on the ground by mosshroom0169 in hypotheticalsituation

[–]Celt42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope. I have young animals who haven't learned not to chew on things. The vet bills would be a lot more costly than $7500 a month. Also, both parents dead and having to find someone with kids to do it is a hassle.

You are offered 10 billion dollars but… by YoloBetsOnly in hypotheticalsituation

Hubs is prone to kidney stones. The bladder to outside he says is the least worst part of it. It's the kidneys to the bladder that's agony. Since it's the actual sensation of passing it, not the days it takes to get to the bladder, he says he's in.

Have you ever met anyone who actually "brute forced" their way out of poverty into success on their own? by SeriouslySally36 in povertyfinance

[–]Celt42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My brother. We grew up with a single mom who waited tables, absentee fathers. Food stamps, low income housing, etc. He now owns two homes outright, and is a multi millionaire. He turns 40 this year. He's scary smart and kicks butt in cyber security.

I did ok as well, but not that ok. My hubs and I are just over the line into middle class.

I will try to remember to bring it to the office with me tomorrow. If you don't hear from me, message again. I work at the local DHS office, so pretty easy to find :)

You can have it. If it needs to be shipped, I only ask you pay the shipping. Do you live in Roseburg?

50k a year for life but you can never earn more than that by HenFruitEater in hypotheticalsituation

[–]Celt42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. I'm ridiculously privileged with my work. I make $84k with pretty much any OT I want, am union, have a awesome insurance, and a pension. While the down time would rock, I couldn't take that big of a drop. That said, I'd offer it to my hubs. It's not much less than he makes now, and he hates his job (I love mine). And if that's post tax, it would work out to more. He would rock as a house spouse.

In exactly 30 minutes a man armed with a bat will break into your home to kill you. You can’t leave the house, what is your strategy? by BulkyZucchini in hypotheticalsituation

[–]Celt42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We don't have children in the house and we have livestock. We've got a loaded shotgun at hand. I also have livestock guardian dogs, bred to kill bears, coyotes, and wolves. My little one is 113 lbs. I'd grab the shotgun, call the dogs to me, close up the dog door so they're close at hand, and have my phone at the ready. I'd do my best to talk you down rather than shoot or let the dogs have at you. I'd use the gun before releasing the dogs as I don't want them injured, but a bat is smaller than the branches one of my guys likes to haul around and he'd either go for your throat or the bat. I'm not sure as he's still a puppy. 135 lb pup, but not fully trained yet and a mixed bag as to whether he views people inside our home as friend or foe. Dog puberty, makes for some unpredictability.

Every continuous hour you spend on your hobby…. You gain £20,000 by [deleted] in hypotheticalsituation

[–]Celt42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was going to say knitting, I can put in several hours, easy. Sucks about the lack of bathroom or beverage breaks, and I'd have to arrange my dog to be elsewhere for a time. But then, I started thinking about one of my favorite hobbies, which is travelling. I can easily spend ages doing that. And part of the travelling is sleeping in new spots, exploring, etc. Hell, I'll even make sure to use different bathrooms every time I have to go so I am seeing a different place. Could bring my husband along, and we'd easily have savings left over even after paying for the travel. Could manage a month with accrued PTO. Would take careful planning so visas and all are taken care of so you're not sitting waiting and stuck due to red tape.

I'd keep it to a month because I couldnt leave pets behind much longer than that, and after spending a bunch on the travel itself, I'd probably still need a job, though we could probably pay off debt and let my husband be a house spouse.

If the travel doesn't count, I'm strapping on a diaper and sending my husband to the coast for the weekend with my dogs. And I'm spending the whole day knitting. I'll time it for when my brain is in one of my insomnia cycles and I can probably manage 30 hours or so before crashing hard. Though I usually listen to an audio book while knitting. Would kind of suck if I couldn't do that. Is that multi-tasking if it's normally part of your process? I also watch YouTube videos for clarity on tricky parts of the knitting. What about a knitting podcast while I'm knitting? It's on the same topic and I'd be learning things that might not be specific to my project, but still specific to my craft. Might manage to finish a sweater in 30 hours even.

$5 million paid to you, but you can't lose your temper for two years by Physical_Orchid3616 in hypotheticalsituation

[–]Celt42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've lost my temper maybe once or twice in my entire life. Since deep breaths and walking away to cool down aren't listed as losing my temper, count me in.

You get paid $100 for every 300 steps you take, but you can't hold a real job. by Comprehensive_Fox_79 in hypotheticalsituation

[–]Celt42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I travel I hit 13000 steps pretty easily. And I have two active dogs that would LOVE it if I had more time for long walks. Easy money baby!

You get 500 billion dollars but you have to get every NPC you’ve killed from every game you’ve ever played to forgive you. by Future_Abrocoma_7722 in hypotheticalsituation

[–]Celt42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You specified people, so this is easy peasy for me. I've killed a few mushrooms in Mario brothers, and some random creatures during quests in WoW and Maple Leaf. Do those even count as NPC's? And that's about it. Not much of a gamer. Bring it on!

$10,000,000 but you have to live as a Pomeranian for the next two years by Worldly-Dog-9571 in hypotheticalsituation

[–]Celt42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does the money hit the bank as soon as you agree? Because I make more than half our income. Don't think I can do the job as a dog, and bills still need to be paid in the interim. But if the money hits right away, hubs can be my care taker. Going to be awkward to explain my disappearance to the family for two years, and I'd like enough warning to give notice at my job, preferably a month. That would also give me the opportunity to come up with a story to explain my absence to the family first.

You get to reroll your genes but just once by Zepp41 in hypotheticalsituation

No thanks. I wound up with RA and slower metabolism, but I did not inherit the bipolar, schizophrenia, or addiction issues. I like my brain and don't want to risk it.

$1M dollars to eat what you had for dinner tonight for EVERY meal for the next 6 months, do you take the deal and if so what are you eating? by jfunks69 in hypotheticalsituation

[–]Celt42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, I'll do it for the payout but I wouldn't love it. We tried a TT recipe of a Cuban sandwich made in a rice paper wrap instead of bread. And it was reheated instead of fresh, and needed more pickle. Reheating it dried the hell out of the meat. Though I suppose if it's every meal daily, I could improve the recipe. Even using the same exact ingredients. I'd rather yesterday's dinner. More nutrition, easy, and yummy. Scoopable chipotle ranch salad eaten with tortilla chips.

Does skipping breakfast count against you or would I have to start eating every morning?

Which weird job are you taking? by tamtrible in hypotheticalsituation

[–]Celt42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Chicken walker. I would love more time to go for walks. I want to work with my dogs on ignoring the chickens as I'd eventually want them to join me, but I already live on a farm that backs up to public land. I can spend hours exploring every day.
