if someone dropped 1 Million USD in your lap today...
 

tax free, no strings attached - what would you do with it? details?

:glugglug

It would be shopping time!



:winkwink:

A better question would be.... what did you do with it? :winkwink:

put half in the bank and spend most of the other half :1orglaugh

I'd sue for pain and suffering + lost wages because I am sure that much money coming down on my lap would break something.

I would use it buy some rental houses

Buy some rental properties around here geared towards retired folks without pets. (The old people take care of their places better than young people)

I would buy me a SL 65, some new clothes, a watch and a new bicycle and put the rest to the bank. (~700k)

stop working.

invest invest invest

you should see the load of shit i had to haul out of the last ass holes i renters house the dump weighted it at 1.2 tons


i guess they never knew how to use their garbage can

I like this answer better than your first one.

Probably look at investing part in rental properties, and the rest likely into some kind of stocks or RRSP's... Potentially take a chunk and throw it into some projects that are likely to make money... Or, I could be really dumb and just turn around and buy ONE horse...

short stocks

make a few more mill from it

sell my house, take the money for myself and use the whole 1mill to buy a kick ass house. Just as good as putting in the bank, only you get to live like a king :Graucho

my lap would still be there

Invest some and then by a summer home somewhere warm. Enjoy life in a way I can't now!

Invest it and buy a nice comfy chair to enjoy looking out the window at the birds in my trees

bank drafts are very heavy.

I would eat it, with tabasco sauce.

Buy another house.

Funny you should mention that Quiet.

Someone on GFY basically did last night. I nearly fell out of my chair when I saw the domains he's got. I knew he had some good ones, but never knew how good and how extensive his collection of undeveloped properties was.

Going to show him how to turn his million dollar portfolio into tens of millions. We're talking on the phone today in depth and hopefully if he likes my ideas it'll be another big deal courtesy of GFY.

This board ceases to amaze me.

:glugglug

I would go to guatamala they said in a post that prostitutes are $2.50 there.... Then I would pump out an new content cd a day for life...

I want a really nice home to live in, so I'd say a house.
WG

Rental houses and raw land.

Save $250,000 in an interest bearing account. Spend $250,000 on home improvements and a couple new cars, and use $500,000 to build a few businesses locally to keep the money flowing in.

Invest, invest, invest.

Maybe get a McDonalds franchise or a Tim Hortons franchise
the rest in real estate and party money

half in my personal account and half into my business. I would agressively grow my business.

I'd pay off bills for family, open a club (hopefully create some jobs) and put the rest somewhere to draw interest:thumbsup

Buy a new house.

Horton's the the best franchise you can buy in Canada right now. but holy shit do they make you work for it. get to go to tim horton's school, and must be directly involved with managing the business 24/7 once they give you the privilege of buying one. no thanks :)

I'd Invest in some houses, then rent them out

there must be a way around it. have someone else go to school and shit for it, while you're his investor with voting rights in a holding company which actually owns the franchise. just give him nonvoting shares without a seat on the board.

By a shitload of brokered traffiic to feed my sites or burn it, tough call, six of one, half dozen of the other

id go to my bank and lay it down on a development deal for this town.

id like to buy an entire street from the highway to the beach front here in myrtle beach sc and redevelop it into a top dollar rental property area. the entire street, both sides for about a mile all the way to beach front.

im guessing it would cost some where around 20 million, but once it was said and done it would make $ for ever.

Constant schooling actually... since they change their methods and materials sometimes, the managers have to go back and learn all the new stuff, so that they can accurately teach the new staff as to how the big bosses want it.

yeah, it's a huge headache, but could be worth it I guess. Timmy's does great.

I would place it all on black in a casino :Graucho

throw it in a box with the rest of the others.

I'd buy a property for myself someplace warm. Then figure out what to do. :)
Probably a few rental apartments in Helsinki to pay for my living. :)

I would invest about $800k of it into safe stocks, import a load of 1950's and 60's chevy/cadillac/buick cars (very expensive in Sweden) and some into the adult biz......id for sure do morethings but thats just some of it.......:glugglug :thumbsup

now where is my million Quiet, I know you have it :Graucho

i bet i can guess where :)

$50,000 on a new car, put $450,000 into my awesome invention idea, put the other $500,000 into a swiss bank account

id probably stop work for a year and tour Europe.. the rest will go to the bank.

I won't tell you

i would start a real estate co. in Iraq :Graucho

I'd buy Viagra in bulk lease a ship and a small militia and sail down to south america... sell it to local dealers...
I'd flip that and make 7 million cash, invest in an offshore bank, laundering the money untraceable... then take my 5 million clean money and stick it in a high yield account and live off the interest for the rest of my life

Turn of the computer and head to the areas destroyed by hurricanes with truckload after truckload of shingles and other material. Make another million in 3 or 4 months selling material and contracting roofing jobs. Actually don't even need close to a million to do that, wanna invest? :winkwink:
