If I were mega-super-rich....
 

If you were an actor, athlete, rock star, won the mega-lotto, or whatevah... what crazy thing would you splurge on? Or, would you be more stingy with your $$$$?

I'd buy homes in London, Colorado and here (maybe. LOL). As for something crazy, I'm super stingy with money, so I'm not sure if I'd blow my money on something ridiculous...although, I've never been in that situation, so I might lose my mind. :laugh:

I love castles, so I might try to buy one. LOL

I would travel around the world in my own plane, perhaps. Going to Italy, Switzerland, Hawaii, Alaska, Africa, Australia, France, Germany, etc. would be awesome. :)

Helicopter. I'd go helicoptering all the time. In all different countries. All round the world.

Cool
 

Yeah, I'm sure many of us would give to various favorite charities. :)

I would splurge on real estate, I think. I'd have fabulous houses all over the place. And I would travel a lot. :)

I think I would try my best not to be selfish with it. If I won the $50 million lotto, lets say, I'd probably keep half for myself and use the rest to take care of my family and friends...then give a sizable chunk to Red Cross or something of that nature. I dont think I would be happy if I did otherwise. I would want to see other people I care about benefit from it and not have to worry about, say, working the rest of their lives.

I'd totally be stingy with it. I'd pay off all my debts, quit my job, and go hosteling in Europe. And no one would ever know I had money.

I do exactly this too, along with what I said previously! haha

Lol
 

Yep, when people find out you have money, that's when they are your second cousin, twice removed. :laugh:

After completely paying off my debts...with the pittance I'd have left over, I would splurge on musical instruments/recording equipment, raising dogs (rotties, especially), houses, & fitness equipment (treadmills, weight machines, etc)...and I'd have one helluva fast PC with the most ultimately fast IP and the largest hard drive capacity & RAM available.

Oh, and I'd have killer home theatre equipment in just about every room (except bathrooms), too.


ANNNNNNND, travel, travel, travel.

Money can destroy more than you realize. :distress:

But, in a perfect world, I'd finally send my dad to Australia, his long time wish. I'd get myself a new car, since I think I really deserve one after riding this Rust!Monster for the last two years. I'd buy myself a house someplace warm, and an apartment in New York. I'd also build a house here in the Netherlands, where I can live with my 15 year old almost-sister, since she has to live with foster parents after her mother died last May. I'd give my (real) sister whatever she wanted (which would probably be more plane tickets to LA to visit with her CSI set friends :nod: ). After all that was done, I'd travel, travel, travel and travel some more.

Heck, if it were possible, I'd buy Stevie Nicks, but I think I will probably have a much bigger chance buying Mick. :lol:

:lol: :lol: :lol:
Now there's an idea.
I would...
-Pay off my parents, grandmother, boyfriend and my debt.
-New cars for all of the above.
-Land with new homes for all of the above.
-Rental properties to pay the bills for all of the above.
-I would set aside college money for my baby.
-Buy a home next to Stevie and even though I'd be rich I would have to constantly ask for a cup of sugar.
-Travel, Travel, Travel.
-Build a shelter for troubled teens.
-Help out my best friend and her family.

Boy, I could keep going. I guess when your poor you think alot about those things. :o

Of course I'd like to do all the things that everyone typically would want to do, pay off my and my parents mortgage and bills, travel, donate to charities (particularely the children's hospital), but then....

I would LOVE to have my own jewellery store, high end of course. I currently work for one where I design a lot of the inventory and the owners are profiting off of my hard work. I would just love to be doing this on my own. Sigh. One day...

That's exactly what I'd do! On the real estate front, I'd start with a villa in Italy.

Oh, and shoes. I'd buy lots and lots of shoes! :lol:

I'd take a $20, break it to singles, and use the singles as toilet paper. Hey, it's no dumber than pet rocks.

I wouldn't live much differently. To be honest, I don't want that much more than I have, materially. I'd pay off the mortgage. Change a few things in my house. I'd help a few friends with some things, but not too much as I know how money can poison and kill the closest of relationships. And I'd support some charities too. I would still work at the same job. I like my job. There are a few creative things I would do too. Buy more properties. Fix them up the right way. That's it.
