Poll question: A deep philosophical question:
Imagine if you could have a guaranteed income of $50 million dollars, per year, for the rest of your natural life. The only exception is that you would have to wear a green, pink, and orange colored fanny pack, for the rest of your natural life. During special dress-up occasions (i.e. church, dinner parties, etc), you could take it off, and when you needed to not wear clothes (bathing, sex, etc), you could take it off. However, when dressing casually, you'd have to wear it. Well?

6. but it can buy everything else...

11. I'd hire minions to tell me how good I look
have advertising campaign to create new fad, and hire hitmen to kill you and anyone else who refused to compliment my stylish fannypack.

Money solves everything.
