What Would You Do With an Unlimited Budget for 24 Hours?

Posted byVanya Wryter ConsultingPosted inBusiness, Jobs and TechTags:, , , , ,

Now, this is a dream-come-true situation! Everyone wants an unlimited budget. No one wants to decide if they should buy A instead of B, but they want both! When I saw this question, I thought, oh dang, this is a business owner’s dream come true! No more prioritizing software subscriptions or delaying the purchase of new equipment because the budget says no.

So here’s what I would do if I could go wild with the spending for just one day.

The Spending Spree

With unlimited funds and a ticking clock, I’d start with my wish list and buy the best office setup available: an ideal office chair, the most up-to-date monitors and keyboards, and a year’s worth of subscriptions for all the software I need and wish I could try out.

Next, I’d lock in memberships. Industry associations with annual fees. Premium networking groups. Masterminds I’ve admired from the outside. One year, paid in full, before the clock runs out.

Beyond the Business: The Fun Part

Here’s where it gets fun. Elite credit cards with eye-watering annual fees? Applied. Exclusive dining clubs? Joined. I’d prepay for a year of reservations at restaurants I’ve only read about. (Or buy gift cards to them.)

And yes—I’d buy a house, mortgage-free. It’s going to be a busy day, but you can get a lot done in a short time. And I have a year or more to enjoy all that I bought within 24 hours. 

The Real Takeaway

This thought experiment is the ultimate way to ask ourselves what we really want if money weren’t an issue. I would surely take advantage and make a great life for myself. 

What would your 24-hour list look like?

  3. Indeed! First I would pay off my credit card debt. Then I would gift myself say, $5 million, which ought to see me through to the end. Of which, yes, I would buy a condo here in Loveland, with a view, and hire a part time personal assistant. Then I would gift my son $500,000. so he could do the things you mentioned. Additionally, I would gift my step-daughter the same amount. She’s worked hard all her life and never abandoned me despite our differences. Then I would gift the Loveland Public Library, the Loveland Museum, and Probaso’s bookstore $100,000. each. 🙂
