re4p3r1 Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 Seeing as how everyone spends time fantasizing about that one day when they win the lottery or become a pro athlete, heres a topic for you. If you had $1000 or as much money as you want what would be the first thing you would buy?? Me, I would buy a big pool for those long hot summer days.

1_man_army Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 Well I do have some money as I have a savings bond that matures next month (when I turn 21), I'm using it for driving lessons. However, if I won the lottery though, I'd build a big house to my exact specification (it would have to have a club, a football pitch and a big cinema room) and an Aston Martin. After buying those and giving some to my family, I'd just use it to enjoy life - good food, plenty of holidays etc. He who learns must suffer, and, even in our sleep, pain that cannot forget falls drop by drop upon the heart,and in our own despair, against our will, comes wisdom to us by the awful grace of God. - Aeschylus (525 BC - 456 BC) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lenin64 Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 Well, I would use it as financing for my army. It gets kinda expensive. Command the Murderous Chalices!

Only you...*shakes head* I'd probably just save it, then spend it on a bunch of state of the art gadgets etc. But first...a new wallet to hold all my cash : Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

issy2 Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 I'd put it in a bank, then hire a technician to download a DVD converter for me, buy all my favourite films and put them on my iPod. I'd buy a really nice purple/dark blue armchair, we're kinda redecorating at the mo. And then I'd get a plane ticket to somewhere north so I could see the Northern Lights <3: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe to you, but to the general public, they're rather have the $1000 over nothing. But having an extra grand that doesn't fit into the budget isn't exactly a whole lot of money, and not nearly enough to get giddy over and start dreaming of things to buy.

dusqi Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 If I had $1000, I wouldn't even be able to pay for a month's mortgage :P If I had $10,000,000 - I would invest it and live off of the interest for the rest of my life. Approximately $100k/year after tax and inflation. For it is the greyness of dusk that reigns.The time when the living and the dead exist as one.

Range_This11 Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 Books and Classic Movies. Buying a book is the best investment you can make. You're investing in knowledge which, in turn, can provide you an endless supply of everything else in the world.

123_x_pac Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 I would save it up to about 10grand. Use some of it to buy a rusty,old Chevy Camerro. Then I'd take it to the best auto place around. Put a nice Hemi engine in it :thumbsup: Then, I put a big scoop on the hood, put a sunroof in the top and make the car a nice redish,blackish color. Then put a spoiler that suits it and put 24s in teh back and 20s in the front :D Put nice bucket seats in with red/black color scheme.

Azvareth Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 A memorystick to my cellphone... maybe some CDs? I'd probably save the rest and gradually end up spending all of it on alcohol. Alternatively: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Giordano Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 An unlimited amount of cash? Easy. Buy out Hollywood and remove the power from those corperate producers and give it to the directors, writers, etc. Then sustain a normal house and buy some nice things as time goes on. Create films since I bloody own the industry, and never have to worry about anything else again. \ "The cry of the poor is not always just, but if you never hear it you'll never know what justice is."

BlueLancer Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 I got plenty of $1000's and I'll tell you they wont take you far... :lol: Think.. Just the cost of living for a year, even if you live on rent, is at least $10K +. With millions of dollars? I always thought of the idea that since it's such a huge capital.. You could just put it in a bank with 4.5% annual interest, and live off some of it+re-deposit the rest to cover inflation. Basically free income, but who really wants to sit around all day doing nothing and playing video games :? It sounds like a dream to a teen maybe... But when you're older.. Maybe you'll want to do something that has a meaning in the world. That's why rich people don't just sit around in their mansions all day.. A lot of them start doing volunteer work for free, start foundations for poor people etc.. Because they want meaningful things to do in their life, having money just sitting there waiting to be spent is barely 'meaningful'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
