What would you do if you had a million dollars?

[johnA27]

Me? I'd do 2 chicks at the same time man.

 

[Warl0ck]

Well you don't need a million to do that. You need about $800 bucks. Me, I'd buy a cabin on an island in Howe Sound, get married and disappear

No such thing as a "simple life" once you get married LOL:nono:

 

[High Roller]

I would rent a hotel in a tropical paradise, fill it with babes, and ...

"Two chicks at the same time" - Office Space

But seriously I would spend quite a bit on escorts, spread around that wealth. I would also consider a fuck tour of the world.

Considering a million dollars doesn't get you nearly as far as it did 10-20 years ago, I'd probably end up investing it conservatively. There's not a whole lot I'd splurge on, as I've got everything I want in my life. I might be less ambitious at work and/or consider opening a small business.

Go to work with a smile on my face. :tape:

Exactly.

I'd head for somewhere sunny & warm & relax in the breeze, in a hammock...then look for just the right piece of property!

 

[johnA27]

Truthfully though, if I had a million dollars I'd probably invest it into a house and with prices in Vancouver I'd have a nice little shack =)

 

[rxwca]

Hmmm.. maybe retire, invest some, then Hong Kong, Japan, Thailand, Germany - all the innocent places

Home sweet home. But it will cost you 1.2 million.

What kind of home can you buy for $1 million?

 

[Equity Market investor]

If you are debt free ( no mortgage, no car payment, no credit card payment ) , invest the $1,000,000 wisely and you can easily retire. Live life within your means and it can be done. Of course, I'm referring to one being single.

Never live in a cold rainy place again. Move to a region lots of room. Live a healthy life 1st thought. I have nothing to buy really.

Investing's fine, why conservatively though? That wouldn't even cover inflation (after tax). When you don't need that money to survive, you can afford a normal level of risk to get a few extra tens of K / year, perpetual and growing with inflation.

What, you haven't seen Office Space either? Still a classics, even if you discount a bit naive description of that old software exploit.

Money is addictive

It is. Addiction to money = addiction to drugs. It makes you do things you normally wouldn't do.

This applies to both buyer and seller. Look at what organized crime does just to make money from drugs.

 

[wintersurfer]

If it was $1,000,000 that just appeared, I would donate it to a local charity...

 

[apl16]

Go to the airport and see what unfolds.

Exactly! Let the wind be my guide. Enjoy the freedom.

 

[steverino]

Among other things I would buy a Jaguar XKR convertible. Good news is that I got the money and the car. But to others point, a million isn't what it used to be and I am still largely conservative and invest far more than I spend. Now if I had 3 million...
