You have Just Won £/$20m
« on: August 08, 2013, 10:18:34 AM »
Okay so you've won the lottery.

You have 20m in the bank.

Do you go crazy and get everything you wanted or just live comfortably and get a few nice things ?

I budget myself to $150k a year while investing the rest. When I croak, my kids get 10%, the wife get's 25%, and charities get the rest. I'd have a greenhouse / miniature observatory too  :hat.

I'm not very materialistic. I live in a studio flat and have my computer, guitar and amp and thats pretty much everything i Own. :lol

I don't see that changing all too much if i was a millionaire.

I'd get a nice house obviously and a home studio to make better music and indoor pool :P

I'd like to live comfortably and not have to worry about money again.

I'd have my own version of a lesser splooge, but yeah, I'd buy a shitload of high-end PC parts, a new car, and pay off a debt right off the bat. Then I'd live normally but with a little more freedom. I couldn't see that amount of money doing anything for me except making me more lazy though. I always hear people say "Oh I'd still work even if I had enough money to live completely comfortable for the rest of my life!" and I always think that's complete bullshit. Maybe, maybe not... But I personally would go along with that philosiphy for about a day before a customer or my boss pissed me off enough to say "Y'know what, I literally do not need this job. I do not want this job...um.....FUCK ALL YOU CRACKERS! I'M OUTIE LIKE A BELLY BUTTON!".

If I would have it *now*?

I'd leave it on the bank, apart from buying a car and some guitar stuff. Then I'd just finish my studies, so I can get a proper job. When I'm done studying, a house would be a first, the rest can happily sit in a sock under the bed.

Build a self sufficient compound (solar/ water/ wind) on a decent amount of acreage and try to live as simple of life as possible.

If I won 20 million dollars this instant, then I would finish Pharmacy School, then I would try and do medical school, since ultimately the reason I didn't do it in the first place was because of money. With lack of money no longer being a problem, I would focus on a career in medicine and continue living my life just as I am now.

I definitely would not go crazy, and I would also choose to accept it in increments over the years, rather than a lump sum. And finally, and most importantly, I would accept it anonymously if I could.

Buy a few really nice things (cars, slightly bigger house).  Share with some of my family.  Then vacation the fuck out of the rest of my life.

Invest half in a trust for my kids and grandkids. Pay off my kid's college debt. Travel, travel, travel and then travel again until Mrs P. and I shuffle off this mortal coil.

I'd build a house that functions fully on solar energy, with a greenhouse and and a basketball hoop. Then safely invest the rest to make sure I can live off from that income for the rest of my life.

Buy a house and payoff the rest of my car, maybe take some more exotic vacations every year. I don't have any real debt, I love my job, and I don't need/want many things I can't alread afford. So for the most part I'd just keep going the way I already am.

I've been unemployed since January and I could quite happily continue to do nothing all day every day . The only difference is - i'd have money to buy nice

food to live in and eat at nice restaurants and I would continue to work on my music and take a LONG overdue holiday.

You could if you live normally, the interest on 20m would be quite a bit and could enough to live on.

I would settle my debts, get a house, and set my kid up for success with a nice amount. Then I would rent a mobile home and spend a year touring America and Canada. Then it's off to other countries, Ireland first of course.

Pay off all my debts, buy a house and a car, go back to school. Learn how to invest and turn that $20 million into more money, then become an eccentric rich guy who funds video games and movies and animes and stuff.

Pay off my house. Pay all of my parent's and sister's bills and homes (same for my wife).  I would set aside $1 million as the friend fund wherein I would pay off cars or other large expenses rather than just giving them money.  Then, I would save the rest and travel as much as possible.

For real, first thing I would do is to donate half of that money, or $10M, to both my local SPCA and the Community Chest. There are poor animals, and people needing help more than me needing all that money.  :hat
