If I were rich, I would still shop the sales racks, because I hate paying full price on clothes. No matter how much I've had, past or present, I've never been able to bring myself to spend $80 or more on a pair of jeans.

If I were rich, I would still live like I do now and take a lesson from my uncle and aunt.
They ARE rich, but still use the cars they have purchased ten years ago, shop on sales and besides for office wear dont actuallty mind where they bought their other clothes.

If we were rich, we'd still live in the same house, drive the same cars, wait for things to go on sale, and live frugally.

....cut coupons. Shop at the commissary. Shop the clearance racks. I get a HIGH from a good deal

However, I would hire someone to dust for me....just dust... I HATE DUSTING!

I would still work, give 3/4 of my pay to my daughter so she could afford to be a stay at home mom and use the rest for things like the adopt a soldier care packages.

If I we were rich we would also live the same way except we would travel more (bring the kids to the beach, Walt Disney, Europe, ...). We would also change some things in the house. It's always fun to dream

Nope not me, If I were rich I would be building my dream home, I would me giving generously to family, friends and charity. I would shop at one of those high end markets and eat out at nice restaurants as I would want to support local buisnesses in my community. I would go on big vacations and spend a more on my hobbies. I wouldn't work but I would volunteer my time. It won't happen but its nice to dream.

I actually have more now than I ever had when I was raising my 3 kids on my own in fact I only cleared a 4th of our income now--but I can not buy expensive tp or paper towels, my dh says I spend more time trying to buy the cheapest everything and that I should just get the best--NO WAY--I will always look for bargins, garage sale and shop the clearance racks!

If I were rich I would still shop sale racks but at more high end stores. I no matter what would always clip coupons as I love seeing at the end of the receipt how much I saved. My kids would still know the value of a dollar but we would go on vacations without stressing over the cost of everything! I would buy a bigger home because mine is so small but nothing super extravagant. My kids would continue in public schools. I also would trade in our gas sucking van for a hybrid. I could be rich with a conscience.
