    Default What would you do with large sums of money?

    Another one of these threads!

    What would you do with ridiculously large amount of money?

    I would open up a big animal shelter. I would open up a charity for low income households. I would go around to restaurants and grocery stores and pay people's bills. I would do that with their other bills also, but I figure that information is confidential so I don't think I could. I would donate to a lot of children's hospitals and already existing animal rescue funds. I would buy my mom a house and pay for the upkeep and all of that. I would pay her husband back the money he has spent on me and my son and pay off his credit card debt. I would buy sharky some of those extravagent cars he likes. I would pay off his debt and his parents debt.

    Also, a trip to Europe. For like a few months.

    I'd spend it all creating one singular and gigantic sandwich, the likes of which the world has never seen.

    Make sure my family is set, travel the world, and perhaps buy a quaint little Victorian house to call home.

    Buy a perfect house and piece of land and get a financial adviser.

    Put back a bit more than I need for splurging purposes, and to put the child through college,wedding, etc and in case there are more children on the way.

    Then give the ones I love enough to live wealthy... even those who I no longer talk to.

    Toss some money at a few places I like to give them a hand.

    Umm...I think that will do it. I don't really want more than I need, but it would be nice to be set for life.

    Buy some land from my grandparents at the end of a class 4 road about 2000ft up in the hills. Build a nice little house and barn, make it all self sustainable and live happily ever after.

    it depends how much but assuming it was enough to never have to work again i'd get an city apartment and a more rural house and go between them as I pleased and just read and cook and try do something decent with the money to help people somehow (the only way I am ever going to get that kind of money is by some undeserving way like winning the lottery so I would feel pretty guilty about it)

    Nothing extravagant. Just save it for things I need. Boring, but smart.

    Depends how much. First and foremost I'd pay off my student loans. Second I'd make sure my family are all financially stable.

    After that, I would take a trip around the world. I would also like to learn how to set up my own printing press and then actually do that. I'd also like to build a gigantic library room in my house (if I have a house).

    Spoil myself with a ton of crap I don't need and be escorted by hotties to make the other boys jelly.

    Buy myself a castle, a jaguar (car), open an animal shelter, donate to my two favourite charities and buy houses abroad in Japan and Menorca

    For a large sum of money I would live secure financialy. Simple life.

    For a ridiculously large sum of money I would live securely in a comfortable radiation proof bomb shelter filled with guns and quarantine zones incase of zombie apocalypse or nuclear fallout.

    I'd probably open my own shop and still work for a living....but then I'd get like....fancy marble tubs and really high end equipment. I'd go to Japan for sure. I'd go to other countries too but Japan is priority number one. I'd donate a lot to some worthy causes.

    I would withdraw it all in the form of cash and then burn it, thus slightly deflating the value of goods and services.
