What Would You Buy With One Million Dollars ?

Exercise: If someone handed you 1 M $ in the street today, all cash.

What would you buy... post it.

I'd buy the car and the babes, for 950 k.



And I'd blow the last 50K on a new pet raccoon (without rabbies) that watches television all day



What would you buy ?

I'd buy a normal house (150 - 250kish), set away 3 full college funds, buy my new truck, and bank the rest for retirement investments.

That sounds really smart -

I guess I should have put more thought into what I'd buy.

At least I have a mildly cool raccoon to hang out with.

I guess he's OK...

He kinda sucks though.

Aye, that's my logical answer.

Now, if it didn't matter, I'd totally go and buy a bunch of stuff that was fun.

million dollars.. hmm. First i need million € (which is more ) keep the girls keep the car, raccoon is far cheaper than that I will take him. Set enough money apart to pay for everything for my kids. And of course i would need about 500k to buy my favourite house. The rest will be put in a savings account. Come to think of it, a million is nowhere near that much money as it used to be.

'Tis true.

In fact, I was reading an article in the paper a week or so ago which was pointing out that to live the traditional "Millionaire's lifestyle", you actually now need about 3 or 4 million.

I'll take the women though. Along with a nice Aston, a big house and a huge hot tub in the garden.

I've always wanted one

1. Education for my kids (college money for future use)
2. My unproductive debt (anything that isn't 0% interest or providing tax advantages)
3. A long vacation for the family
4. Enke's unicycle if there's enough money left over.

I'd pick up 450 oz of gold, 5000 oz of silver, Pay off two pieces of real estate here in the states and then invest the remaining ~$200k investing in offshore real estate. damn, a million isn't nearly as much anymore when you think about it. ugh.

A bigger fuckin boat man, nuff said.

I will give you a good deal on the Unicycle.

A lot of people say they would buy a house......hmmmm. I know homes have always been said to be the best investment you can have. At this point in time in the U.S. I disagree, only because a lot of real estate value in the U.S. keeps decreasing. I'd wait on the big home until the market levels out.

With that I'd also want to get my fresh new million out of "cash", especially U.S. currency.

I'd probably drop $500K on precious metals (gold, silver). Drop another $250K on a condo on the ocean somewhere outside the U.S. in a tax friendly country. Then I'd spend $240K on on having some stupid but creative home utensil manufactured that I could have the shamwow guy sell in an infomercial.

With the remaining $10K I would treat myself and friends to a VIP evening at the Spearmint Rhino in Vegas. Obviously I would have $2K of that money in $1 bills, $4k in $5 bills, and the rest in $20's and $100's.
