If you won..

[RoseRed]

Travel extensively.

Thats fine, as long as part of his house would be for the homeless to live in

You'd donate 50 million to church? That's alot of damn money. I bet the preacher/pastor will end up with a nicer house than you.

 

[Inkpen]

Buy a house with a enclosed swimming pool..and a lot of land for wildlife.
Donate, donate, donate.....
Help out some of my friends that could use the $$ help...

Travel to So. Pacific, New Zealand and Australia...and hug a wombat ...

Come home and throw a huge private party for all Formites....
...
and continue working with wildlife...and buy more land to preserve wildplaces in So. Maryland.

If I were the giving type, I would donate money to a program that helps them find a damn job. :shrug:

What would you do if you won the lottery...say 500 Million?

I would give some forumites money in place of green karma each time I want to leave them karma...

I was thinking the same thing, but instead of green karma, I would send Pingrr over to kick their azzes instead of sending red.

I've got all kinds of dreams, and I think at least at FIRST - I'd spend the first year or two just being stupid and buying stuff and doing things.

I'm afraid of that much money, though, because I think in the long run, I'd lose all my friends. I'm worried that that much money would turn me into someone I don't want to be.

 

[Nickel]

I can't even conceive of $500 mil.

That's a lot of money.

I think I'd purchase a large historic home with a lot of land and renovate it. Set up a college fund for the little one. Pay off my vehicle. I'm sure Dustin would want to build a killer garage and fill it with cars. With all the extra space we'd need a few more dogs and cats. Pay off our current mortgage and rent the house out. I'd give some to our parents and siblings. Invest the rest.

See, the problem with all that money is that you're still limited by your environment. Like, say you wanted a chauffeur on call 24/7 to take you around - where are you going to find someone to do that?

I was thinking, maybe I'd have some work done on my house - put on an addition, enlarge the bathrooms. Then I remembered that I'm dreading the guys coming in to install my Pergo floors in ONE room - what kind of stress would it be to have them knocking out walls?

I'll stick with buying a pair of shorts.

Just live in your current house while having a new one built to your needs/wants. :shrug:

 

[BS Gal]

I have no idea what I'd do. I know I'd quit my job and move, but I don't know where I'd go (and by "I", I mean DR and I).

 

[vraiblonde]

This one already has all my needs/wants. The bathrooms could be bigger, but that's about it.

I'd probably just buy furniture and decoration items. I like my car, love my house, don't want to deal with boats, don't care about jewelry, don't want to move anywhere else, no interest in quitting my job.

I'd suck at being rich.

Then, have the biggest and baddest forum gathering ever.

You could start a bird sanctuary.

 

[bohman]

New house, on the water. Preferably with a few accompanying acres.

4 boats - one large and one small of the sail and power varieties.

College funds for any family member that wanted it.

That's about all I want. Invest the rest, and live off the interest. Oh, maybe look into getting an unlisted phone #.

Maybe not. But, I would spell it correctly.

 

[bresamil]

Set up funds for the kids. Invest and live off the proceeds. Travel. Donate. Volunteer.
Never clean again.
