I voted hoping to see what the results are, but it just told me "Thanks".

Anyway you can publish the results? I'd be curious to know. Though I liked the movie, I would not care enough to live a drugged-up glamorous life portrayed there. If I was making that kind of money, I would just settle by buying a big plot of land in a wine country and grow grapes for rest of my life.

Is that really what you want out of life?

rdudek
Yes, I love simple :)

Hey, sounds fantastic to me too. I don't know what these other weirdos are looking for. ;)

Prestige. Power. Influence. Just a few things that money will get you more readily and consistently than any other method.

That is all fine but it can be done without the chaos portrayed in the movie.

If it was amended to say: 'grow grapes and do self-funded cancer research'

If OP's passions revolve around wine, then that pursuit seems on-target.

Isn't that freedom?

Everyone has their own idea of happiness. Just because you have money doesn't mean you need to live outlandishly. Why not just relax and enjoy life?

Should have just stayed on that boat, forever, instead of going to Monaco.

done! when do I start? :)

my two cents: use pick1.com for the poll next time and get much more out of the user engagement!

(I am not affiliated with pick1, but I like the platform)

Yes, atleast for a little while.

Just watched it (like, few hours ago).

Drugs/alcohol and sex/masturbation as means of coping with the pressure/anxiety/whatnot resonate a lot with me. And if you have money cushion, you can let that spiral out of control every once in a while.

Yes.

I expected more, and perhaps many others did. I answered "yes" simply because I wanted to see what type of questions were asked given that response. I didn't realize it was a 1 question survey. Your results are likely skewed.

Even more skewed now due to the fact that I answered "yes" without having seen the movie. There was no "I don't know" button.
