yeah, i know it's not gonna happen... But just a thought... what if... money suddenly pours down... on the streets, on the roof of your house, everywhere. what would you do first? would you grab 10 big buckets and line them up in you front yard, while you're picking up every money taht catches your eye? what if you're nursing your little baby, and it rains with money? you could see everybody on the streets picking up money everywhere...would you drop your baby and join them for a while...?

I have just one bucket in my house so i guess i would have to use pillow cases , but that would mean catching and putting it in myself .

Hmm im going to have to be honest. I would grab the money. I would grab some of those giant rubbish bags (clean ones of course) and quickly scoop as much money as I could into it. I immagine I would act like a half crazed person dollar signs flashing infront of my eyes. I would continue picking up money till it was all claimed. Not long I expect as everyone would be picking it up. If I was a mother with a baby I would grab a high chair or car seat and set it up in the front yard as I collected money around it. I wouldn't leave the baby by itself.

If money was to rain from the sky, watch out!!! I will be gathering it as fast as I can. I will be dancing in that rain storm. I will then pay off all of my bills. After that, I will be investing the rest of it as I know this rain storm will eventually stop. Good thing I have no children to nurse.

I would surely try to get money if that ever happens. Of course, that's if its feasible. I mean, what if I was really far and I could only see that situation from a safe distance, say on board a moving bus? Then again, if the real owner of the money surfaced and would ask his or her money back, I wouldn't think twice about returning what I was able to gather. (^_^")

Well, who knows for what that money was for to begin with. A huge amount of money does seem to imply something important and the plausible way for it to suddenly pour from the sky would be due to an accident. One would often bring a large amount of money for serious reasons. Business isn't always good. Some businesses can include an exchange between a family and a hostage taker. None-the-less, I try to recognize one's own effort to earn what they deserve and see luck which wouldn't be due to the misfortune of others.

If that happened, money would lose its buying power. So I would go get a broom to clean up my sidewalk.

Its true. Money wouldn't mean anything if everyone had an abundance of it. I mean, honestly I'd probably run out and grab some cash, but I feel like I'd be quick to discover that money is now worthless.

I'd do my duty to God and country first. Afterward I'd pay off my debts; and if there was anything left over, I'd have needed repairs done on the house.

I know that money will not pour from the sky... but, if money pours from the sky, I just stand in my home upstairs, and I just collect how much I can...

If this happened, problems would arise. SInce people had enough money now, nobody would work or people would buy anything they want. There would be an imbalance to the economy. And the idea is stupid. Why would someone drop a baby if we could just carry or put him somewhere safe while picking up the money.

LOL I would probably get a huge sheet and let the money fall on it. Then I will roll it and keep it aside, while spreading another sheet. Else, I would get a fan and blow all the money towards my house. I will have a terrace or open ground ready to catch the falling money. :)

If I see money pouring down I will do something wise with it. First pay all my debts (credit cards), and save some of it in the bank. I will basically act the same way as if I didn't have all that money. If you think about it, that's when you're going to spend it all and buy stuff you wish you had or haven't had before. But if you're smart/wise, you will save some for the rainy days. If I'm nursing my little baby and I see it's raining with money outside I wouldn't drop my baby and go outside to pick up all the money. By acting fast and greedy for the money will not reward me for anything. I mean of course while it's happening outside, as normal human beings we will all still think about it.......but remember, everything has its limit. I wouldn't risk hurting my baby for money because not having my baby with all the left over money will be unexplainable......Money can't buy health. So I will keep doing whatever I was doing with my baby and pray for the ones outside picking up all the money.

No one will suffer themselves for money. The value of money is lost and the interest get lost and everyone can do anything they like if money is plenty. In the place of money something will occupy then. Cheers

Well I would probably think I was hallucinating for a second. Then if I knew I wasn't then I would know that money wouldn't be worth much or anything at all. But I would grab a couple thousand just in case.lol. Just like if money grew on trees then they would be just like leaves. Worthless.

I'll run out with whatever I can to hold it. I don't have a baby so no worry for that. lol. I wouldn't be greedy. I'll just get what I can. I mean, after all, it's free money, I just made more money then I had a minute ago.

I would probably be in awe and not be able to move for like 10 seconds! Once i snapped out of it, I would grab every bit I could!! Luckily, I live in the country and it wouldn't be as riotous as it would be in a subdivision or on a crowded street! I often think of things like, "What would I do with $10 million?" It would be nice!!!
• Philippines
28 Jul 09
i suggest u better snap out of it sooner then 10 seconds..who knows, it would only rain with money for 5 seconds...everything would be all gone by then.lolz
