If you had a million dollars...
2005-11-15, 10:56 AM #1
What would you do if you had a million dollars?

I would buy a nice house, and fill that nice house with nice stuff. It would be out in the country, and I would have a lot of land. That's what I would do.

What about you guys?

Spend a million dollars on lotto tickets when the winning ticket will get over 10 mil.

First thing... I would upgrade my computer :I

After that, I will please myself with various things. Perhaps with a better house, perhaps not.

But really, I'd finish school then probably invest the rest and forget I had it.

That's where I got the question from (lol). Rented it twice in the past week, thinking of buying it actually.

I'd buy a partment in a small town somewhere in the middle of the Netherlands (and preferable somewhere where I can get cheap gigabit internet connection ¬.¬). I'd upgrade my hardware. Maybe buy a car. And save the rest for a time when I can think of something I could possibly need more.

Oh and I would probably download less, since I can afford to buy it then.

Once upon a time in Massassi, this type of statement generated a pretty harsh response :p Not that I mind it or anything, I just think it's funny how this place has changed.

I would invest it, and, assuming returns of 6% annually, I could probably live modestly off of it for the rest of my life.

Buy a decent house, nothing too crazy, just a nice cozy place for me, Jess and hopefully our future family. That and a decent car.

Then I'd invest the rest, keep working but live nice and happily, taking a vacation down south bi-yearly and enjoying myself.

On a more crazy idea, I'd stop working and develop some mad designing skills and work for a gaming company. *nods*

Thing is I don't need money to be happy. I don't really live trying to imagine I'd ever had that kind of money. I got Jess, she loves me and thats already more than enough. We lost our child but we got closer, and hopefully we will have another try sooner or later.

I'd buy a nice house, nice car, lots of nice stuff, hook my friends up with mad cash, and then sponsor as many poor children as I could. I'd rather not work, so I'd be mountain biking all the time as well as paintballing/airsofting.

I'd probably quit school and work and go about full-time development of software and learning on my own. I have so many ideas I want to pursue, but school and work plus daily living are really taking up all the time I have, so I can't work on the projects I want to, at least not with the amount of time devoted to them that I need in order to finish.

I'd invest the rest and also probably host a huge party for Massassi and pay for everyone's plane ticket/lodging/food/drink etc.

Oh, come on! And miss out on college life?! :)

But I'll tell you what to do with a million bucks - buy a huge balloon, fill with helium (as much as a million bucks could buy) and let it go. Because who the hell needs a huge balloon, filled with something that's not even as heavy as air?

#1 - I would buy a £200 Violin

#2 - I would maybe buy a £400 Cello.

#3 - I would increase my trance software to become some uber experimental trance DJ.

#4 - Hookers. Lots of em.

#5 - Since 1 million pounds isnt enough to buy and KEEP and McLaren, I would probably get a nice little Lotus Estige.

#6 - Invest in edible panties (mark my words.... they're gonna be BIG!.... cos we're getting fatter)

#7 - rent out a room with 3 attractive blondes, and await hilarious sexual situations to occur.

#8 - More hookers, clean ones with no diseases :rolleyes:

#9 - I've lost interest in this thead.

First I would invest half of it, part in long term stable investment, and using part to participate in short term extremely agressive investments for a short time.

Then I would do some traveling, try and figure out WHO I AM, and maybe study Keysi and search out spiritual and martial arts masters. [/anime]

Then I would come back home, and start up programs for those who are down on their luck. You know, poverty, disease, all that stuff. Start a band and play free shows for prison inmates, and generally try and help people who get the short end of the stick of life.

Maybe I will find time for some sort of personal romantic and religious life. [/emo]

Also, since I will end up having far more than 1 million, I will host a Massassi get together somewhere, maybe Egypt.

And then, I will grow a beard, sit on my front porch, and play Johnny Cash and Social Distortion songs until I die, on my Gibson J-200 Vine guitar.

I would use it as collateral for a loan to buy a large apartment building.

I would then lease out the units and generate a positive cashflow for myself.

So, you would invest it.

How original :rolleyes:
2005-11-15, 5:46 PM #38
Buy 1 million lottery tickets (or as many as I can get ), and become a multi-millionare, making just enough to do what pagewizard wanted to do, buy an apartment and lease it out.

I would take care of my rooms, better care than pagewizard, and charge less than pagewizard. After approximately 6 months, after pagewizard loses 70% of his business, I will take out a loan so I can buy off pagewizard's business, then I will take less care of my rooms, charge the same price, and make pagewizard's old building my executive, presidential, penthouse, or high-class suites.

Then I"ll wait and let the cash come in with twice as much revenue as my original building.
