If you want to be rich then play the millionaire spending game with me

[ButterflyWoman]

I'm finding a lot of resistance lately. It's very strange. I feel overwhelmed and like I just have too much to do. I know that can't possibly be correct! Wealthy people, even ones I want to emulate (Richard Branson, for example), have lots of time to relax and do what they want, so why do I feel like I would have to personally oversee everything that goes on with the charity funds and various businesses. I would like to have a hand in some of it, yes, but there's no reason why I have to do all of it, or even most of it.

I think this comes down to my inbuilt sense that I'm pretty much on my own in the world, and if I want something done, I have to do it myself. Assistance is unreliable and possibly unavailable, that kind of thing. It's something to be released, anyway. The reason that Richard Branson and other wealthy entrepreneur/benefactors can do all this stuff is that they hire people to help them do it! I only need to do the stuff that I personally want to do, and whatever I don't want to do, I can just hire someone else. There's no need to fret over how busy I might or might not be; I can be as busy or as NOT busy as I want. There's no need to worry about being overwhelmed or too busy. I can delegate.

Something to meditate on, and to release.

Okay, back to the $22million for today.

I guess I'll hire some more people to do stuff for me. I have a housekeeper and a nanny/companion for my kids, a director for my charity fund and several employees there, and another assistant who handles various business things for me. I'll hire a main groundskeeper and a couple of assistants who can also look after the animals who will be shortly appearing on my property. I'll set aside $3million for the hiring of groundskeepers (that will be over a ten year period, and includes things like bonuses and other perqs; I am a generous person and a generous employer, and I like to reward people for a job well done).

I think I'll spend some money on equipment for our property. I've thought we should grow some hay to feed various animals who eat it (healthier for them, and not too terribly difficult to do, from what I've read), so we'll need a baler and some other farm type equipment. We also need a riding mower and probably some other stuff (I'll ask the groundskeeper what he needs and wants). Not a clue what that sort of equipment will cost, but it does remind me of a song I haven't heard in a long time ("John Deere Green" by Joe Diffie), and I'll set aside, I dunno, $2million, I suppose (probably won't be that high, but we can include all kinds of gardening and maintenance supplies in that).

Which leaves $17million to dispose of. Good grief. I think maybe we should have an underground vault on our property. Something fireproof and big enough to store all kinds of precious things. Let's say that's gonna cost $1million, because I want to do it right. And I want to have a ramp to it, rather than stairs, so we'll need landscaping around it to disguise the entrance a bit and make it look nice.

And $16million left, what on earth will I do with it? I've got all the stuff I want and need, and the investments provide a continual very comfortable income. How about I give $10million of that to the green technology support fund (that can eat up a lot of money!) and $5million to the general charity fund, and then the other $1million I'll throw into savings and investments.

Whew. I need to hire someone to spend my money!

This is REALLY interesting:

You start off with a million, which isn't a whole lot of cash to me, to be honest.

But then, each day in the spending game, you add a million.

Now I haven't posted in a while so the money grows, and I started on the 1st of this month.....(technically the 2nd, because it was 1:50 AM when I posted and I went to go bed right after).

Now if you look at my post on the 6th, and how I said $5 million, it was really $6 Million...

And I didn't post between the 3rd and the 5th....So that means I have $12 Million that I have NOT spent yet, plus that $1 Million I left out on the 6th!

So adding 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5, etc all the way up to 21, I'm at $231 MILLION! WOW!

And out of that $231 Million, I have ONLY spent $8 Million!

Which gives me a grand total of $223 MILLION that I can spend!!! WOW!

Now let's start with $223 Million tonight!

So my DREAM house has been bought! That's $50 Million.

I bought a 1450+ acre lot that I'm gonna turn into my own private city later on! That's $30 Million...

I spent about $50 Million in luxury, and exotic cars, suv's and supercars....

So that's $130 Million spent right there....

$5 Million goes towards a passive income stream of at LEAST 5% a MONTH for the rest of my life, so I can pay the bills and take care of my needs....

About $25 Million is given away to family, and friends.....(cars, houses, money, etc...all taken care of)

There's $100 Million left....and that goes to the Studio and construction of a 75,000 sq. ft. mansion to build the studio in....and there's a house in Westlake Village, CA that I fell in love with, 25,000 Sq. Ft in size....that I'm rebuilding on my property with a few changes that suit my needs....I bought the blueprints and got the original contractors for the job, to recreate this house on my property in Cambria, CA

That House along with the Mansion will house the Recording Studio...

I'm also building a 3-story 300-Car garage to house my cars, all climate controlled at the perfect temperature, to keep my cars in showroom condition....there will also be 100 motorized rotating platforms for my BEST cars...in this garage with a full-on repair shop....

I buy all the furniture, tools, and household Items I need as well...

And that takes care of everything, until my investment pulls through BEFORE the end of THIS month!

That will be $500 Million towards the Dinar to go up 25,200 TIMES that amount!

When I reach that point, ANYONE who crosses MY path will have their dreams come true!

I will be a source of abundance and prosperity to individual people who's lives will change forever.....and they'll turn around and help their loved ones, their loved ones will help their loved ones, etc, etc, etc....

A whole new trend will emerge, and Charities, fundraisers will be overflowing with money!

ALL because I was able to take care of MY needs and MYSELF FIRST!

This is KEY to EVERYONE playing this game!

I see too many people giving EVERYTHING away to others, and while that's a wonderful thing to do, I BEG to ask, WHAT ABOUT YOU????

If you could have ALL the money you wanted, and you can ONLY spend on YOURSELF and NO ONE ELSE, what would you do for yourself?

This is KEY! Follow your heart and find out WHO YOU ARE FIRST, BEFORE you give so much money away! Take care of yourself FIRST and once YOu are taken care of BY YOURSELF, people WILL come to you for help, and BAM! You help them in ways they couldn't even help themselves, because YOU took care of YOU FIRST.

Do you get this????

Think about it....

Yes, that's what I want, as well. To be a sort of fountain of abundance, not only for myself, but for anyone who comes to drink. But, being in the centre of it, I would always have my own thirst quenched, and always be refreshed.

I think this is because we are still we are still somewhat in our mode of lack or maybe a bit still in the non-loa mindset of forgetting about the hows.
Also, we ourselves don't realise how much time is spent to delegate the responsibilities, confirm with nitty gritties and check on the status of many of our projects. From an outside perspective it is easier to see how much free time the have.
Plus, think of it like this: Sina has accumulated $223 million soo far. In this mindset we must spend all that money bit by bit on a daily bases. Some multimillionaires spend that over the course of a year not a month. In this version of reality, we are spending in 1 month to have majority of the rest of the year free. I say majority because many of the things we have spent our money on is a work in progress, they still have to be checked up on.

It is a kind of lack mentality, now that you mention it. I have always seen a lack of help, of assistance, of anyone who had my back, etc. I've always felt that I had to do everything for myself because those who were supposed to be there for me were unreliable. And that is a kind of lack mentality. Interesting.

The thing is, I do not WANT a life where I have to do everything, all the time. I don't want to slave over a business or a charity foundation in order to make sure it's running. I consider time to myself to be something I need to have, and the idea that if I was wealthy, I wouldn't have that is quite alarming. It may be holding me back on various levels, as well. I don't worry that wealth would make me lazy, I worry that it would make me so busy I wouldn't have any free time!

That's the resistance I'm hitting now. I suspected this was part of the stuff that I needed to release, but I hadn't been able to get hold of it until now. Playing this game has certainly exposed it!

See this proves my point in my last post!

You WANT it, therefore you are implying that you don't have it, yet!

THAT in and of ITSELF is a lackluster mindset!

The purpose of this game is to feel like YOU ALREADY HAVE IT....

I'm already there and I feel NO lack whatsoever.....

I also think that's why SO many people are giving away 90% of their money, when they play this game!

You have THIS MUCH MONEY AT YOUR FINGERTIPS!!! GO OUT AND TREAT YOURSELVES!!!!!

This is what perplexes the hell out of me!!!!

Right. So according to you, I'm doing it wrong.

You must be a reflection and manifestation of my resistance, of my own negative and critical inner voice. Fine. I get the message. I'll deal with that resistance.

I wouldn't put it just quite like that.
I think many people are giving away money because they feel at that point they DO have much. Most are still taking care of the basic needs, then the needs of the immediate circle of people around them . Once that is done, they do a bit for themselves, then bit for others they barely know. After, they re-evaluate and start the cycle agian: which basic needs I have skipped, which family/friends/loved ones have I missed, how can I indulge for myself, how can I assist others.
Look at your own post. Shelter, income to provide for basic needs in years to come, support to friends and family, indulgence in your passions and refinements of your basic needs, then charity.

I see it more as a game where you now have to the ability to see who you choose to be. Defining yourself as a cause rather than an effect. The impact it has on you is not simply how you view money but how you assess the priorities you have in your life.
I find once many of us have a clear view of our own priorities and better view of our bigger picture, movement starts happening in our lives. The steps we could be making now seem a lot smaller now because we have seen something much bigger. The goals we have set along with our priorities are much more apparent because we no longer feel pigeonholed in an limited environment but confident in the root cause of our choices in the incredibly diverse environment we are now able to see.

$19,000,000
Yesterday I doubled the budget for all my existing properties. Today I am thinking of machines. I own 2 farms.
I've decided to hire 2 teams to manage and operate these farms.
I put notices to my family members first. Only 2 took the offer though, concerned about getting papers to work there. Also, they heard I have a place coming in the Bahamas soon, many are holding out for that one instead.
So I have to put out ads. My friend Chris has asked me for a job, so I have made him an assistant to my personal assistant (who seemed a lil miffed until she realised it was a promotion. Also Chris is used to seeing the b!tchy side of me and can handle it. I am way too polite with most of my staff.)
I have set aside $5 mill each to staff my farm for 5+ years. The farms shouldnt need more than 8-12 workers year round, with more hired for seasonal work.

For Machinery, I plan on leaving that mostly to the management team. They will know what they need best. They have a $4.5 million budget each, with the option to increase the budget once have balanced our books and experiencing profit.
I have given them notice that I plan these farms being 100% fully sustainable, I have a special focus on producing textitles, essential oils, cold pressed oils, fruit wines/spirits along with the produce. I also have arranged for bonuses to be given to all employees that contribute to bringing our total waste down to 0%.


$20,000,000 I put this strictly to cover the construction costs of my building downtown Toronto.

This is really interesting, and I think a lot of us playing this game come up with resistance in really strange/unexpected ways! All reflections (like my 2 lack-focused ladies in week 1) and so fascinating to see out there in the :real: world, no? You're opening to it, and the game mentality is helping you to see the ridiculousness of it. You're doing great! You are exactly where you need to be, ButterflyWoman!

What I'm finding now is that I care a whole lot less about money in my life. I am not obsessing about it like I had been, which feels great. I would also suggest seeking out a "Seth Service Manifestation thread" on the forum, just for a little boost. Kind of like a Universal Manager, but more concrete. I'm starting to think that whatever I think about something money-related, I should just try to think the opposite, since what I've always been thinking has never, ever served me!

Anyhoo, on to my... $17,000,000. Yes, it does start to feel like a chore, doesn't it! I like the idea of hiring someone to do stuff for me so I don't have to figure it all out! Apparently my post from yesterday didn't post, but it was AWESOME! I went all over the world on safari and fly-ins and studied with shamans... But it took a LOT of work to figure it all out. I think from here on out, I want to be contributing some, saving some, and spending some. So $3,500,000 is going into savings/investments, another $3,500,000 is going to charitable causes. With the remaining $10,000,000, I'm buying a jet for $4,000,000. I have wanted one for so long, and now it's time. Because I want to buy a chateau in SW France, which I do for $6,000,000.

Yes. In fact, uncovering and exposing these attachments and various kinds of resistance was my intention in playing this game. Now I've uncovered at least three areas of it.

Thank you so much.

Yeah, I'm seeing that, too. And I've noticed that when I hear some mention of big sums of money, I think, "Meh, it's not that much." The other night I was watching an old rerun of a detective type show, and one jewel thief was extorting money from another to the tune of $5million (out of a possible $100million) and I just thought, "Only five? C'mon, that's chump change!" I had to laugh when I caught myself thinking that.

[NicB]

$2,000,000 for meeee!

Hmm, what to do. I have everything i need from that first million.

Ok, how about this...
- $100,000 on awesome furniture and nick-nacks and various accessories for my home to make it awesome to live in.
- $500,000 invested into my music endeavours/equipment/business
- $300,000 to family and friends
- $200,000 to charity
- $100,000 into an awesome old school car
- $100,000 on therapy and education, courses/seminars/appointments/etc
- $100,000 for free use for a year.
- $600,000 invested into my savings account.

Now thats more like it!

You actually TREATED YOURSELF to something you always wanted and all you were doing before was just giving money away, without keeping much of it, if anything at all for yourself...

This is proof that your resistance has dramatically decreased, and as you find things you like and you buy them for yourself FIRST and THEN take care of everyone else, you'll be in a MUCH more abundant place for more things to come, all because you're now spending and appreciating that money for YOU....

Does that make sense?

Sina

[ButterflyWoman]

Several things I've decided after dealing at least somewhat with my resistance and attachments and so on.

First: I can play the game any way I want, and by "the game" I mean, essentially, "life itself". I spent a lot of my life being told that I was always doing it wrong, that I wasn't marching to the right drummer's beat, and I've even tried to conform to other peoples' expectations and experiences, and generally failed at it. I march to my own drummer, the end, full stop. No more listening to ANY guru or expert or guide or other person or voice that tries to tell me I'm not doing it right. I'm doing it EXACTLY right. This is my reality, and I'm in charge of it.

Second: It came to my thoughts that a king or a lord was someone who had a great deal of power and wealth, and they certainly didn't do anywhere near everything on their own. They had advisers and secretaries and all manner of assistants and servants (employees) to take care of stuff. Yeah, they had ultimate responsibility for things, and they had stuff they had to personally look after and do, but certainly someone like William I of England didn't personally manage the whole of the country. That's what vassals are for. Therefore, as a wealthy person (the modern equivalent of a lord, but without the social obligation), I can have as many assistants, employees, and advisers as I want. I can hire a top quality secretary/assistant for ten years with a very generous salary and bonuses for $1million, and I've got plenty of millions to play with. So the idea of having to do it all myself is just nonsense, and I can dismiss it entirely.

Thirdly: If I want to give money away, I can. When I've bought multiple properties, built houses, collected cars (classic and otherwise), bought antiquities and rare books, bought jewellery, bought a helicopter and a cruise boat, spent money on various gardening and light farming equipment, built greenhouses and planted a netted fruit orchard, had all the fences reworked on my home property, set up trust funds and investments, bought gold and silver bullion, and gotten myself tens of thousands of dollars worth of dental work, I'm actually doing okay, and I can afford to spend money on other people if I feel like doing so. To me, hoarding is not fun, and while some "luxury items" are fine and good, I'm just not that interested in overpriced bling or status symbol displays. Spending money, however, is fun, and I include in that things like supporting green technology development, education, the arts, and other "charity" concerns. Spending is spending, whether it's on me or on my family or on total strangers or on the restoration of heritage buildings.

Fourthly: My intention in playing this game was to bring my own resistance and attachments to my conscious awareness, so I could deal with them and release them. That has been happening. I'm grateful. I'm going to keep playing and deal with whatever other resistance comes up. I like doing it on a daily basis, because it generates a kind of continuity that carries over. I could let it all accumulate, or get the entire amount in one go, but I like doing it this way, so I'm going to continue to do it this way, which, of course, goes back to point one, which is that I'm in charge of my own reality and I can play it however I want.

Whew.

Today I'm spending $23million and I'm buying some more property. We'll get an apartment somewhere on the Queensland coast, which I expect my in-laws will use more than we will (I'm not a big fan of Queensland, but now and then it's nice for a change of pace), and I want to buy a flat somewhere near the city centre, to stay in on weekends if we have something on and we don't want to drive the hour+ to get home, and also for guests and visitors to use if they like. I expect to spend about $6million between those two properties.

I've also got several million in the dream house budget, but I've thought of a few things that we might like to have in the house, so I'm going to put in another $3million. We might not use that, but the fund is now drawing interest while the architects work up the plans and so on, and it will be more than enough for our not-ostentatious, high-tech, green-wherever-possible custom built house.

I want to build a personal observatory on our property. We're far enough away from the cities and towns that light pollution isn't a big problem, and you can build one for a surprisingly affordable amount. However, since I'm very rich, I want a really nice observatory, though not super big, and a really good telescope that can do high quality photography and tracking and other cool stuff. I'll budget $3million. I have no idea if that's how much we'll spend, but it seems like a good starting point.

Going to hire some landscapers to build me a few more ponds. I need one for ducks (just to keep as pets, though we might also eat the eggs and let the ducks in the garden to keep snails and caterpillars under control) in the duck yard (with the special fox-proof fencing), and I want one that's essentially a water feature where I can grow water cress. We already have the aquaponics, of course, but I like ponds and I like cress, so there we go. I expect the cost to be trivial (compared to the millions at my disposal).

I'm going to look into plastic surgery. I'm not especially vain, but I've had dark circles all my life, and there's nothing cosmetic that fixes it, other than covering them up with makeup. I have read, however, that there are procedures that will help, so I think I'll do that. while I'm there, I'll talk to the surgeon about a few other things, like the fact that my eyelids are starting to get weirdly droopy and like crepe, and while I'm not too worried about it from a vanity point of view, it may be starting to affect my vision a little bit, and that deserves some attention.

Speaking of vision, I'm going to see about laser surgery. I've read that they can now repair that thing that happens when you reach a certain age and require reading glasses. I hate reading glasses, and I'm keen to get that fixed so I don't need them. And while I'm there, I might see about getting my astigmatism and my myopia fixed.

So let's say $1million for medical stuff and pond-building, just to make it even.

And I still have $10million! I could put it into savings/investment and draw approximately $800,000 a year interest, but I've actually got plenty in there already, so I'll put $5million in and put the other $5million into the charity fund I set up, because I like to spend money that way!

Whew. Busy day. Time for a cup of tea. Sometimes the simple pleasures are still what you need.

This is a really interesting way to look at it, a good alternative somehow. I was just working on my letter to Universal Manager and came up with this conundrum of emotion re: being out on my own. For as long as I can remember, I have wanted to be self-employed, but I associate it with so much responsibility and pressure that it really becomes unpalatable. Something about looking at it as though I were a queen lording over her kingdom makes it easier, because we expect royalty to have a court and advisers, etc.

My sentiments exactly! Consumerism for the sake of consuming isn't the reason I desire more wealth than I currently have (although, my goodness, how much more wealth could there be? I'm at $18,000,000 today!). I work for a company with a very, very green foundation, and my mind is bent more toward Eastern philosophies, so I recognize that if I'm working on this to get stuff, it will only lead to wanting more stuff. It's great to splurge and get the things you want, but I believe that relationships and the human bond is ultimately what brings us the greatest level of happiness. So after you've got everything you could ever possibly want, how amazing is it to build a school in South Africa, or to offer opportunities for personal development to those in not-so-great circumstances, that they may rise up to help others? That is what I want from this experiment, to get money the F out of my way so that I can CONTRIBUTE and do good, just like I see in others all around me.

See that is been my resistance from the start. That it simply isn't enough. That I need large large sums of money to leave a legacy behind and make a difference. Hence why I started my Billionaire game.

I have the opposite problem from you but still the same. That I truly need to depend on people and their direction to get things done because I am not confident in my own work. Feeling worthless because I have to depend on them and feeling even more worthless when they leave me high and dry. Like now, I have been pushing for my musical projects. The album I wrote for my friend she never picked up. I decided to do it myself and I believe that the producer of the beat will tweek my work so I wait for help. I push and push, I've even offer to pay for time spent consulting, but no responses. So it's not finalized, not developed further. I LIKE working and depending on others way too much. To have my life FULL of activities because I have wealth is what I am pushing for. Also, to be able to start a project, develop the idea, not worry about the middle part and work to get the end perfect once I have all the pieces.

A lot of my resistance that has popped up for me is a fear of being great, on my own. I even think that I may have BEEN scared of being successful. Once I start getting good at something I was met with disaster or I lost interest. Plus, that the original fundamental aspect of lack, that even with much, it still isn't enough.



$21,000,000
Since I spent my last amount on the building alone for my downtown piece of property I've been questioning if 10-14 floors is enough 4 floors is still too close to the highway for my tastes. I don't think so.
$10 Mill more should get it between 15-20 floors high, which still isn't enough for me. LOL. So I am just gonna invest the rest of this money also for that building. I've told the architect and contractors want it to be at least 30 floors above ground. Looks like building is going to be a narrower than I anticipated. It is still going to be one of the shorter buildings in that area. I have a feeling this project is going to set me over my budget and I am going to have to make concessions somewhere to get what I want.


$22,000,000
Now this is the first part of the construction costs of building the ecologically sustainable community in the Bahamas. I have 7 farms that must be like a small hotel to house whole families (with grandkids) and I've decided to tack 10 more on to it (170 acres out of 2,000). Plus a great lodge for all extra commercial uses and all those that aren't family.


These 2 projects are going to eat up majority of my budget for the rest of this 30 days, I can feel it. I'm not complaining because I know these 2 are probably going to generate the most income and pride for me. At the end I will have 3 farms/reserves and my building in the heart of major city. All down while keeping strong to the values my parents raised me with, taking care of my family in ways they can grow and take care of themselves.

$18,000,000 to spend. I'm going to make it easy on myself today. I'm buying Katharine Hepburn's former estate in CT. The cost for one of the estates is exactly $18,000,000 and I will cover the taxes and other costs with money from savings.

[ButterflyWoman]

Resistance seems to be smoothing out. Some of it seems to have evaporated on its own, as if just exposing it to the light of awareness was enough. No effort required. I love that.

So, today it's $24million. I've been buying stuff for myself and others all over the place and today I'm just going to put all this money into investments. I'm going to put $14million into my investments/savings. This, combined with the money that's already there, should provide me with an extremely good income from interest. I'll invest $6million in gold and silver ingots, bricks, coins, etc. (as a hedge against fluctuations in the financial market, etc.). The other $4million I'm going to put in my kids' trust funds. If I'm rich, they may as well be, too.

Now I haven't posted in a while so the money grows, and I started on the 1st of this month.....(technically the 2nd, because it was 1:50 AM when I posted and I went to go bed right after).

Now if you look at my post on the 6th, and how I said $5 million, it was really $6 Million...

And I didn't post between the 3rd and the 5th....So that means I have $12 Million that I have NOT spent yet, plus that $1 Million I left out on the 6th!

So adding 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5, etc all the way up to 21, I'm at $231 MILLION! WOW!

And out of that $231 Million, I have ONLY spent $8 Million!

Which gives me a grand total of $223 MILLION that I can spend!!! WOW!

Now let's start with $223 Million tonight!

So my DREAM house has been bought! That's $50 Million.

I bought a 1450+ acre lot that I'm gonna turn into my own private city later on! That's $30 Million...

I spent about $50 Million in luxury, and exotic cars, suv's and supercars....

So that's $130 Million spent right there....

$5 Million goes towards a passive income stream of at LEAST 5% a MONTH for the rest of my life, so I can pay the bills and take care of my needs....

About $25 Million is given away to family, and friends.....(cars, houses, money, etc...all taken care of)

There's $100 Million left....and that goes to the Studio and construction of a 75,000 sq. ft. mansion to build the studio in....and there's a house in Westlake Village, CA that I fell in love with, 25,000 Sq. Ft in size....that I'm rebuilding on my property with a few changes that suit my needs....I bought the blueprints and got the original contractors for the job, to recreate this house on my property in Cambria, CA

That House along with the Mansion will house the Recording Studio...

I'm also building a 3-story 300-Car garage to house my cars, all climate controlled at the perfect temperature, to keep my cars in showroom condition....there will also be 100 motorized rotating platforms for my BEST cars...in this garage with a full-on repair shop....

I buy all the furniture, tools, and household Items I need as well...

And that takes care of everything, until my investment pulls through BEFORE the end of THIS month!

That will be $500 Million towards the Dinar to go up 25,200 TIMES that amount!

When I reach that point, ANYONE who crosses MY path will have their dreams come true!

I will be a source of abundance and prosperity to individual people who's lives will change forever.....and they'll turn around and help their loved ones, their loved ones will help their loved ones, etc, etc, etc....

A whole new trend will emerge, and Charities, fundraisers will be overflowing with money!

Sina

OK so I'm at $24 Million Today....

Everything in terms of the foundation of my property, studio, and garage, monthly payments (coming from my passive income stream) has been taken care of....

Now its time to add in the details to the property, studio and garage and that's where every penny is going towards today....and for the rest of this week into the end of next week.....

Pianos, Studio Recording Gear, Cars, Furniture, Clothing, Shoes, Accessories, Home Theater, Audiophile Stereo/Surround Sound Systems, etc.

I have 2 chauffeurs, 2 part time personal chefs (each with a different specialty and several more I call in on special occasions), 8 maids/housekeepers, a few gardeners/landscapers to take care of the vineyards, front and backyard, pool guy, my own plumber, a butler and 2 personal assistants....

Add to that the expenses I have in bills and I'm at $350K month.

And that's why I have the passive income stream, plus a good $5-10 million aside in a separate account just to keep up with all my expenses and necessities....

$23,000,000

As discussed yesterday, I will be using this for my ecological Bahamian property.
I love Atlantis! I love how everything is set up. It makes me think that I don't want my property to be simply a business venture and farmland. I want it to be a place of fun for grownups and kids, especially since many of the farms will have a hotel style for the families. I've asked my developers to create canals and all freshwater features to be functional for the farming and ecological sustainability but to also have a waterpark-like feel.
I am inspired by the property my aunt lives on, it's a 54 hole golf course but it isn't dowsed full of chemicals. Yet it still is simply gorgeous. I remember a city she took us to that had a functional canal system which cycled water from the lake to someplace (I didn't see where), but kids and adults were allowed to use it like a lazy river. It was awesome!
I can't wait to see it when it is done!


$24,000,000
DONATION DAY!
Being the daughter of teachers, education is very important to me.
$6,000,000 is used to start a fund to provide scholarships and grants for people in Canada for all levels of education. The stipulation is that an essay/thesis or business plan must be provided on how what you are doing will contribute to society, along with an implementation plan (that way I can see how you will pay it forward) for your thesis/business so you are able to create your own charitable works.

$12,000,000
Is used to boost the libary system in the Bahamas. Not only through books, facilities and people to run it. There are various free educational services offered.

$6,000,000
To boost arts in the Bahamas. Increase art programs, have more showings, more productions, fund more educational programs and more tools able to be rented/borrowed.

[evandangie]

$19,000,000 today. I forgot to make charitable donations and put $ in savings yesterday, so $7,500,000 goes to each, leaving $4,000,000 left to spend.

Today I'm buying a railroad! Just a regional shortline, but wee! What fun! It will be updated to include passenger rides along with the freight it already transports. Super excited! I'm going on a whistle stop tour next week! I'm really looking forward to getting to know the people along the route.

[missbhaven]

AHH!! Last day that I HAVE to work double time. I am back on track to finish on time.

$25,000,000
This I am using to cover the costs of equipment in my downtown Toronto building and landscaping. 35% is green space. That's lots of aquaponic equipment, lots of edible fresh water species, lots of plants, lots of organic components to get the aquaculture system set up. There there are the gasifiers, vacuum sealers flash freezer, a paper making machine (to recycle any fiber that can be made into paper as packaging for retail space), back up diesel generators, solar and wind panels (many of the windows are a new variations of solar panels), water filtration kits, rain water collection units, and I have a lil bit of research going into the glowing algae (I want to know it's nutrional properties, it's reproduction rates, and how much oil it can produce. I think it would a be cool functional way to light up the exterior of the building at night, espcially if they have a high oil production rate for energy consumption or good nutrional value for edible consumption). I am on the whether or not to have a salt water pool though. It would be cool to have a few saltwater vegetables, seaweeds and sea life as a seperate aquaponic setup.
The building costs should cover the gas lines on the balconies and really nice washrooms and kitchens, but any excess left over the equipment will be used to furnish the condos.


$26,000,000
Sadly, I may have to pay much more for my Bahamian property due to corruption . I will not tolerate this project being delayed to infinity. It will be completed within a year and a half!
Since I have a more lavish feel for this property, way more property and way more units; I know it will take not only this days amount but also another.
A desalinization and rainwater collectors are high on my list. Along with many of the same items listed above, possibly on a much bigger scale.
Storage units shaped like pyramids will also be built for the cheeses, spirits, fermented food products, and all dry/canned/packed storage. (Yes, I believe in prymidology.)

[evandangie]

$20,000,000 today to spend, $8,000,000 to savings and charitable donations.

I'm going to space camp!! I'm not quite to the point where I can drop $35,000,000 on a flight to the moon, but I can simulate! I am going to do the official training to become an astronaut, then take a few zero-gravity flights, around $2,000,000. I'm putting the remaining $10,000,000 aside so I can purchase a ticket in a few days to fly to the moon!

[missbhaven]

$27,000,000

$15 mill is to cover the cost of farming equipment, textile equipment, distilleries, packaging equipment and many more solar panels (a large section is going to be a solar farm with a simple harvestable ground cover crop underneath) for the Bahamian sustainable lifestyle farm.
The leftovers -
This now converted into savings fund. It will cover any expenses that go over budget or projected analysis. Then any leftovers after that will cover payroll for the coming years.

[ButterflyWoman]

Well, I didn't spend any money yesterday and now I'm up to $51million.

Honestly, I have no idea what to spend it on. I'm so flush with stuff, have vacations planned, have hired all kinds of staff to help me, I own a boat, a helicopter, several different properties, all kinds of antiquities and rare books and vintage and antique jewellery, and the list just goes on....

So today I'll put $10million in savings/investments, $10million worth of gold/silver as an investment, and $31million in our charity fund.

[ButterflyWoman]

$27million today. I feel like I have everything I want and need, and I can't think of anything else to spend money on right now. I have things I want to do, but I've got all these things arranged, and stuff to do, and objects to enjoy, and places to be, that I just feel like I don't want to acquire anything else at all right now. I feel glutted, I guess. Filled to slightly over full.

Everything seems like it's been moving at a super fast pace, and I just feel... it kinda reminds me of "Christmas morning fatigue" from when I was a kid. I'd be super excited and rush in and open all my presents and so on and then I'd have all this new stuff and I'd be quite overwhelmed with it, and feel like there wasn't enough time to play with it all. It's not actually a comfortable feeling. Some sort of resistance, perhaps? I'll meditate on that.

I'm also starting to feel like dealing with money is just too much effort. Not small stuff, like, you know, going shopping or whatever, but having to intelligently account for all this money is kind of exhausting. I might need to get one of my assistants to deal with this and just come to me for approval. I don't know if this is more resistance or not, this sense of having to deal with stuff that I'm really kind of bored with. It feels like an obligation now. I'll meditate on this, as well.

But back to the $27million. Since I feel so glutted with money and spending and buying and so on, I'm going to put $20million in savings/investment, and give the other $7million to the charity foundation I set up and let them dispense it appropriately.

[missbhaven]

$28,000,000
Wow the final days are closing in.
I am fretting and stressed. Will I be able to bring things in on budget? Or will my belief that things tend to go overbudget come back to haunt me.
Every big huge project (like the museums in Toronto) has ended up going way over budget.
Savings seems like the best option here. $20,000,000
But I am not simply satisfied with that.
$8,000,000
So I am booking vacation, for myself, my immediate family, and my boyfriends immediate family (I also invite my 3 best friends and their spouses to book a 6 month leave of absence). A nice big family trip. African Safari is planned where after we head to Hawaii, with a diverting stop in Barbados. Private tutors/nannies are hired for the kids since this may take us 6 months to a year.
The African trip is the highlight a beautiful 2.5 month tour, including a luxurious cruise up the Nile learning ancient Egyptian and Kemetic culture. Then on to Barbados, which will have use cruise through a lot of the Caribbean before we head to the Panama canal to get to Hawaii.
We may stay on after to hit to the Indonesian Islands, India and Madagascar so we can return the ship to it's port, but this trip is budgeted only to take us as far as Hawaii.

I am totally enjoying how busy my 2012 is looking.
The downtown building has a projected construction finish date of late fall 2012 with an operational start date of March 2013. The Bahamian sustainable community will be semi functional by Christmas 2012 with a full completion by August 2013, My storefront locations have lease contracts ready for their Feb 2012 openings (The cruise maybe delayed in some ports because I will be flying out to see my yoga studios opened, Maria is soo excited to be partnering with me). The additional apartment building in the Bahamas has a finish date of Spring 2012. The orphanage is projected to be finished by Christmas 2012 also. The Ontario farm is fully functional and busy prepping for spring.

Le sigh.
I love life.

[ButterflyWoman]

$28million.

I have lots of stuff I'd like to do, travel I'd like to experience, but..... not all at once. I just feel like my life is full, and happy, and BUSY, and I don't feel like I can fit any more stuff in right now. I don't want to buy anything, go anywhere, do anything. I want to play with all my new toys and then move on to more new things.

So $10million goes into savings/investment for interest income, $10million goes into gold/silver, and $8million goes to the charity foundation to distribute or invest or whatever (I leave most of that up to the director, though I do like to look over the recipients of the funds).

Done. Time to enjoy my life.

[evandangie]

Oh boy, 2 days to account for... Internet was down last night, so I just thought about what I wanted to spend it on... So I've got $43,000,000 to spend today- LUCKY ME!

First of all, I'm going to the moon! I've got all the money I need now by adding $25,000,000 to the $10,000,000 from 2 days ago. Woo hoo! Just like Lea Thompson back in the day. Pure awesomeness! Ok, but without the dramatic teenage love triangle and all the stress of whatever scenario put them into space. The rest goes to savings and glad tithings.

A quick aside, I really feel like things are shifting for me. I feel like I'm starting to let myself want the things I really want, instead of basing every decision on money. It's also becoming kind of a game to manifest the things I want because I feel I can allow myself to want them, but am ok to release them and see what happens, because I feel pretty good where I am. Also feel like the Universal Manager thread and the Seth Service threads have been really good ways to get the desires "down on paper" to release them. I think a few of you have posted to these as well? Anyway, having fun and feeling really good!

[missbhaven]

I have felt things sift for me also.
It's mostly a lot of beliefs I no longer agree with popping up. A lot of restrictions I had on my own self, I find I am releasing. Tied with a lot of jealousies being let go and being truly happy to see some of my friends and acquaintances getting stuff done. Lots of reflections of self through the eyes of others also, mirroring beliefs. I've noticed I've been more defensive and aggressive when it comes to defining who I am and my beliefs upon seeing it reflected back to me..
I've noticed I've had more anxiety attacks lately with just a lot of issues simply bubbling up. A lot of deep rooted fears being brought to the surface to get dealt with.
Not soo much the cash situation but more connections.



$29,000,000
Feelings:
I am at the point where I feel full and satisfied.
I have taken care of myself, I have established a away to keep income arriving into the lives of myself, family and friends. I have supported friends and family dreams. I also realized, Majority of my goals do not have to do with me, only a small percentage covers all I needed to keep myself happy in terms of career. After that taking care of my family in the long run means the most to me, being able to help and provide means much more to me than shopping and buying a lot of material items. Being able to relax and have fun while this gets ready is simply icing on the cake. Having a community where we all can gather and again socialize means the most to me.
Only now do I feel well enough to save. So this is what I do.

$15 Million sent to my financial advisers who buy precious metals and stones for retirement funds, with the other $14 million put into the fund in case of an unexpected increase of the budget. If it is not used for that purpose, it then covers payroll for the upcoming years.
