wealth that only you know about. Live modestly but never have to worry about anything. Take care of family. Donate anonymously. Randomly tip $1000 at the bar. And play golf everyday.

Would the dog stay the same age forever? Or would it keep aging to the point where it can’t move, is basically a skeleton, but still cursed to be alive and just wants to die already?

This is it, really. With unlimited wealth you'd get to provide for your loved ones, help the underprivileged (if you were so inclined), likely exact some degree of societal change (if you were so inclined), and most importantly lead a leisurely life enjoying every earthly pleasure. Sounds like a dream
