Hi!
If you had the money, what would you do?

I would probebly first buy several more computers,
then probebly buy a nice hanger somewhere as my workshop,
then buy stuff to work with, maybe build my own jet, to travel the world (meet you guys),
then maybe buy a little island where I can make my own theme park.

Your turn.

Let's see...

Pay for college.
Buy a new guitar.
Buy a new amp.
Buy new effects.
Buy a new trombone.

I think that's about all I can think of. Save the money for other things coming along.

Guitars! Actually, I'd start buying guitar parts on ebay or wherever, refinish them when necessary (probably always), assemble everything, and resell them.

Eventually, I'd progress into making electric drum kits, since I know how to make them (except for the drum module, obviously).

In other words, a business.

I would buy every guitar that I saw.

I would buy a mansion on the Archipelago in Sweden.

I would buy a flat in Paris.

I would buy a flat in New York.

I would buy a mansion in Los Angeles.

I would give it away.

I would buy a ferrari, a rolex(or omega), and such for me and all my friends.

Super computers. 20 of them.

Personal jet.

Butler.

Buy a bunch of designer clothes.

I already do a lot of that stuff. Actually, just 2 of them.

Also dude way up there, if you had the money to do anything you wanted, why go to college?? :confused:

Invest into a trustable charity.

Only after have I bought the most State of the Arc computer in the world.

And save for college.
2005-07-15, 10:03 PM #17
I'd give a lot away to charity, spend some so I could live decently, and do absolutely nothing with the rest of it.

Excessive material possessions bore me.

I would buy several thousand acres of land that include mountains to ski on, plains to drive cars and ride horses on, and possibly a dry lake bed for vehicle races. I would build a house of my own design (which I want to do anyway, and I know how I want it to look more or less already), build a vehicle of my own design (this one's a little more fun, think of a half-track from WWII, but a mouseball instead of wheels at the front), perhaps a personal jet and rocketpack too. Computers of course, but nothing extreme like supercomputers.

I would also try out every career that could ever possibly interest me. Including, but not limited to, fighter pilot, submarine captain, professional fisherman, firefighter, etc.

I would also have at least one of every musical instrument that exists, and a full-time ensemble that would play live music whenever I wish. A full time hammered dulcimer player too.

Are we talking about an infinite pool of money here? If so, I could keep expanding forever.

The first thing I would do is establish a holding corporation to give myself added legal protection and benefits.

I would first buy about 4-6 multiplexes, two apartment buildings, a hotel (which I would operate as a business, and hire people to run the day-to-day operations for me) , and about 6 restaurants and stores, all in the name of my corporation. I would then buy up condemned buildings, level them, and construct new skyscrapers in their place, and lease out the units, again under my corporation. If i had the funds to do it, my goal would be to become the next Donald Trump.





I would buy my Ferarri (as a corporate vehicle, but designated for my use) ONLY after I had all that.

My only problem would be to find enough people I could trust enough to manage these properties.

You're going to hate me when I tell you that there was a cartridge at my local second hand game shop. There was also FFII, FFIII, Breath of Fire, Breath of Fire 2, and SMRPG.

I'd buy myself a nice flat, built a recording studio in the basement, and run my business there, helping musicians to get their creations to tape. I'd get a modest car, and live a long life, confortably doing what I enjoy.

-Education for everyone (good aka fun)

-Build my own city in the image of Ancient Rome/Athens (colosseum, temples, agorae, baths, marble streets and buildings, no cars, olive tree plantations, ... )

-....?
