what would you do with..ONE MILLION DOLLARS!!
 
get it? austin powers? no?
anyways, i didn't wanna put like 50 million cause that doesn't involve any planning, you just get everything you ever wanted. one million isn't that much , yet it could be just enough.
no wisecracks please, only serious plans....

tdoc210 08-04-2006 05:16 AM

i'd buy you.
Nah Id but a good guitar and a tower amp, and buy a ranch in the carpathians.

Alo 08-04-2006 05:41 AM

My parents would probably take it from me. ><

tdoc210 08-04-2006 05:55 AM

^ kill them, and pay for the disposal

MURDER JUNKIE 08-04-2006 07:09 AM

Invest in a business that will make me considerably more money, be a CEO and a real prick. Then in my off time I'd get pissed and snort coke off a high class call girl's labia

dog 08-04-2006 07:17 AM

id buy a house on a big ranch, in mountains like hunter thompson had. heaps of weapons and animals. good guitars. years supply of food and alcohol.
and a million is a lotta money adidasss.

MURDER JUNKIE 08-04-2006 07:19 AM

Would you buy peac0cks too??

Sound Devastation 08-04-2006 07:57 AM

£600,000

id put £200,000 away to buy a house.

the rest would go to Sound Devastation.

MoonlitSunshine 08-04-2006 08:01 AM

First, I'd buy a super-computer, then a load of games and stuff for it. then I'd get a Lazyboy Chair, and spend the rest making sure I'd never have to get up again.

Mama Booze 08-04-2006 08:23 AM

I'd go on a world trip and visit all my internet friends. :)

Ooh btw yeah...I got the Austin Powers reference.
"I demand...ONE MILLION DOLLARS!"
People scoff.
Number two makes a referance to how economy has changed over the years Dr. Evil was cyrogenically frozen.
Dr. Evil get's with the program, "I demand...ONE HUNDRED BILLION DOLLARS!"

holdyoualways 08-04-2006 08:30 AM

probably buy myself a nice car & if my parents are still living in this house, id pay the rest of the mortgage so they can move wherever they want
& then probably take a couple of my friends to vegas
& if theres any money left over after all that, probably just save it

It would have to be something that I could stand behind and believe in, you can't sell a product unless you believe in it as well. So probably a micro-brewery :beer:

Urban Hat€monger ? 08-04-2006 09:43 AM

I could probably buy 2 luxury houses here for that.

With the high cost of property here I could easily rent them out for about £2000 - £2500 a month each to professional couples on short term leases.

I`d use that money to get a morgage for my own place and live off that.

That is exactly was I was going to say. I might not buy them in Birmingham though...

DearJenny 08-04-2006 10:24 AM

Trip around the world and then purchase a house in canada.

or

buy/build a castle in Ireland overlooking the sea and live out a little medieval castle hangout fantasy of mine. lol. No electricty, I'd use torches. But plumming would still be a must.

.... You've never been to Ireland, have you? Torches don't work here. "Hmm, I need light.. Oh no, it's raining. AGAIN."

As for luxury houses, you could buy... oh 1 nice house for a million here. That's the state of this country.

DearJenny 08-04-2006 10:53 AM

^........*whimper* It was just a dream. And you dashed it. happy?







lol.

MoonlitSunshine 08-04-2006 10:57 AM

oops. That probably should've gone in the bitch box, under "I hate the Prices and Weather in this country".

If the inflation ever stops, it'll be a nice place to live :D

right-track 08-04-2006 01:40 PM

Buy a nice house and travel the world first class, visiting top sporting venues along the way.
e.g. World Cup/Formula One/Olympics etc...
And entertain top class escorts at each hotel. :D

Barnard17 08-04-2006 01:46 PM

Sod that. I'd buy 5 or so flats in London, live in one and rent the rest. I'd be making far more money than if I rented a couple of Luxury houses in the middle of nowhere.

This middle of nowhere is a offshore tax haven/ holiday island where loads of rich bankers work on short term contracts ;)

could you actually buy 5 flats in London for 1 million dollars?

right-track 08-04-2006 01:59 PM

Nearer 5 garages.

MoonlitSunshine 08-04-2006 02:00 PM

Yeah probably. As long as you don't look too big, it'd be easy.

so no investing for you....so after you spend the money you'd go back to a crappy job?

right-track 08-04-2006 02:04 PM

Yep...you should know me by now.
I'm only happy when I'm miserable. :)

MURDER JUNKIE 08-04-2006 02:43 PM

My first purchase would be one of these:

adidasss 08-04-2006 02:45 PM

what the bloody hell is that??

MoonlitSunshine 08-04-2006 02:48 PM

My guess is that it wipes your ass for you.

Trauma 08-04-2006 03:35 PM

I'd buy a section of the Rainforest, a painted lady tenor saxophone, gibson sg, a tower amp, sponser fifteen african or brazilian children, donate to animal reserves, donate to the cure for cancer, a little marij(u)an(a), loan payments for my parents, a dog, adopt a road, and buy a small field.

Raine 08-04-2006 03:35 PM

If I had one million dollars I’d like to split half of it between these various charities:
the Family Violence Prevention fund because no form of violence should be tolerated; the Scott Newman fund because I’ve seen first hand how drugs/alcohol can damage a family or a single one person’s life and with more money they could probably offer more help to people that suffer with drug/alcohol related issues; the Rape Abuse and Incest International fund for my own reasons; and lastly, the National Clearinghouse for the Defense of Battered Women simply because there are women all over the world that are abused by many people in their lives and I thin money for this particular charity could help educate women in communities all over the world on how to better deal with abuse of any sort.
As for the rest, I’d like to set up a program within the National Clearinghouse for the Defense of Battered Women that offers defense lessons and maybe hire someone to demonstrate some of the most basic defensive maneuvers.
And I’d very much like to create a branch in the Rape Abuse and Incest International fund that handles the medical care for victims of these sorts of heinous crimes. Money in this branch would go to helping giving victims the best medical care as possible.

If I were to perhaps invest this money and make a profit I’d probably start my own art studio. And I’d spend a good deal of money advertising and trying to bring new art into any particular community.

MoonlitSunshine 08-04-2006 03:51 PM

You know, now that I think about it. If I had a million Dollars, I'd probably think "pity it's not Euros..." and then wander around buying anything i wanted. I doubt i'd actually plan anything, and I'd squander it all on useless stuff.

bruise_violet 08-04-2006 03:57 PM

I would give a lot of it to animal sanctuaries, buy animals for myself and beautiful stables/fields/houses to give them nice places to live. Oh and I would go on a massive shopping spree because I love clothes :)

Laces Out Dan! 08-04-2006 04:31 PM

Id probably buy a slaughter house..and buy out all the malls in ireland and make them only sell dead animals..i think thats what i would do.
