the million dollar question.......

If you had a million bucks,what would you do?:)

(been done before,but long time ago)

A million dollars. Let's see...

I'd pay off the loan on the car, pick up a book from the library and then buy a newspaper - preferably a Weekend Herald or similar. I'd have a look around for a some units to rent out and look to buy maybe four or five. A million dollars won't be enough so I'd use the equity to leverage mortgages at the bank. But only enough so that the interest is 75% of the rentals on the units.

I'd use the book to figure a way of declaring this a trading trust so I can claim a whole pile of expenses, use the additional cash to do some maintenance/improvements and then figure a way to do a sliding divestment/reinvestment over the next few years.

I figure I can do this for about the next 15 years - and then retire from my day job with enough equity to not have to work again.

Sure some people would call me a slum lord but I'm providing housing for someone and providing employment for a whole pile of others.

Hey being a capitalist isn't a crime (well not yet - apart from the ridiculous amount I spend on tax - which is why I'd take some time to figure a way of minimising the tax exposure)...

Now if I won the 5 million dollars in the lottery... then that would be something else...

Pay off the car, finish doing up the car to what I want.

buy a house, kit it out with some nice but not too expensive things.

then invest the rest.

Hmm a million aye? Well in kiwi $ its not as much as I would like but it would certianly keep me happy for a while.

1st thing I would do is ring my employer and tell him I can't work for ever again. Then Hire a relief driver for him for a month so he could find a replacement.

Then I would ring 3 or 4 of my closest friends and tell them they have one month to get time off work and get thier passports ready.
Spend maybe 200,000 on a Holiday where ever they wanted to go. Im thinking a combination of Europe and Asia.

Then I would pay for a friends wedding.
Buy myself a nice Lotus Elise that I know if for sale for the right price, and spend about 10g on getting my kit car going.
And of course give 10% to a variety of non-christian charitys.

So theres a healty 400 odd gone on hedonism and being nice to the world.

That leaves me with 600 odd to invest.
In quite what I dont know, but enough accountants and lawyers that I dont think I will have a problem.
Then I would still go looking for a Job after graduating, just to becasue I would go mad with nothing to do.
:cool:

If it was US$ well then simply double all the above numbers. :D

I'd start my own buisiness.

Elementary school was only 4 years ago and AF is younger than that, so it was recent. :p

Pay off the house and cars. Buy some land and build our dream home. Bank the rest and have a damn good life! :D

So I guess I shouldn't have responded then??!! ;) :p

Is it me, or is The Panda missing something?????

Wouldn't be able to retire on that amount, so I'd just have one hell of a good time until it was gone! You can't take it with you!

i would buy a tight ride and hook it up, and then invest the rest

I would spend $100k skiing the world in the following order - N. America, E. Canada, S. America, Europe, Asia. I would then spend $50k building my fream ride and the next $50k insuring it :D:D
The rest I would invest in property and pay off uni.

Actually I want to edit my reponse now.

I'd also take a trip to the Ngorongoro Crater in Tanzania Africa for a safari trip. I really want to go there.

id move to Europe...buy a tight car ( im thinkin Aston Martin, Lotus, Ferrari ) buy a house...and invest the rest smartly...

then i would prolly give my parents 50,000 just for nuttin and then spend 60,000 doing nothing and having fun

I would buy a house outright. And put alot into my car. And my jeep (or buy a new jeep). Depending on how much I'd have left over, I'd invest most of the rest and use some to pay for more school.

whoopsie

Anyway, what would I do? I would pay off the house and cars, and get a couple other cars :D , buy some land and build the house we really really want. That would come in under the million, but is the most important thing, cos if we didn't have a mortgage/car loans etc, I wouldn't have to work much at all to afford the fun stuff we want :D :D
