Title: If you had a million dollars....
Post by: (e) on March 08, 2003, 12:39:26 PM: I know now a days a million dollars cant go as far as it could, but just take that thought away. What if you actually had a million dollars, what would you do with it?

Half would go to my mother and close family

The rest I would spend, probably get a decent car, and some other goodies I\'ve been wanting to get

(sorry for the lame topic, just trying to bring back life into the forum :( )

Post by: Samwise on March 08, 2003, 12:42:36 PM: I\'d buy a house and a car. The rest would go into the bank to collect interest (or other investments). Then I\'d live off that money and quit my job.

If I had more money, I\'d give some of it to my family. But only 1 million? Nah, they\'ll have to take care of themselves. ;)

Americas for sale, and you can get a good deal on it, and make a hefty profit, or maybe tear it apart, lets start with assumption, that a million people are smart, smarter then one.

You may ask what does NoFX\'s song "The Decline" have to do with this, and the answer is, absolutly nothing!

Post by: luckee on March 08, 2003, 01:35:48 PM: Id buy a 400K or so home. Spend some dough on a nice project race car. A vehicle for the wifey, and some exotic toy. Viper...360 Modena..NSX...911 Carrera(not all 4..1 of them)

Invest the rest.....

Buy or build a nightclub eventually.

Post by: CHIZZY on March 08, 2003, 02:38:12 PM: I would blow half of it on coke and strippers.

Then I would buy gold with whatever\'s left after buying a Lamborghini.

Post by: Titan on March 08, 2003, 03:21:43 PM: I\'d blow it all on beer.
Title: If you had a million dollars....
Post by: shockwaves on March 08, 2003, 03:28:52 PM: I\'d use it to pay for my upcoming college tuition, spend maybe a good $50,000 on myself, pay off the homes my parents live in, and then put the rest away for when it\'s needed. I believe I can make something of myself, and doing so would be more rewarding than just being given money. That being said, having a good amount of cash to fall back on during hard times would be a welcome cushion.

in california there is a "gift" fee, so if i give someone 100,000$, they state charges 50,000$ just to give money,.

that is dumb but i would buy a house, car, dirtbykes, everything cool and trick to put im my house; and the rest invest.

Post by: FatalXception on March 09, 2003, 07:58:05 PM: Probably buy a house, and invest the rest to live off the interest.. probably still work too, but just for gravy :).

Now, if it were like 10 mil, then I could pay off all my friends student loans and rent, buy my parents a house, buy a school (for the family run school), and some cars.... and then still live like a king on the interest on like 7-8 mil... that\'d be sweet...:bounce:

Post by: angelo1978 on March 10, 2003, 12:47:53 PM: Some of it will go to my close family , then I would buy a decent house, a couple of cars and put the rest away in investments and bonds for my kid..
