Thread: 1 million dollars for 30 days

  1. #1

    Default 1 million dollars for 30 days

    Let's play a little game, shall we?

    Lets say that a very rich person ran into you at work and game you 1 million dollars, he says that you can spend it on whatever you want but with one catch; you only have a month to spend as much as you can. After the month is over you have to give back what left you havent spent yet.

    Now lets kinda be specific on this. You might want to get a calculator and also think of about how many days it would take you to get this stuff.

    Keep and mind, lets pretend the person gave you the money today or tommorow.

    Here's what I've come up with

    Parts to make the ultimate gaming PC.
    Total time to get and make- 1 day
    Cost- 6,000
    Total left over- 994,000

    Car Insurance for a year
    Total time to get- about 3 days
    Cost: About 1,200
    Left over: 992800

    Total time to get- about 3 days (total trips to the grocery store)
    Cost- 6,020
    Left over- 986780

    Legal drivers licsence
    Total time to get- 2 days
    Cost- 80 dollars
    Left over- 986700

    Apartment place for a year (I think you can pay for a years worth of rent at once)
    Total time to get- 1 day
    Cost: 3,600
    Left over- 983,100

    Bamboo sword from BudK
    Total Time to get- 1 day to pay for but a few weeks to arrive.
    Cost: 30
    Left over- 983,070

    All of the video games I wanted (SNK Vs Capcom, Guilty Gear Isuka Pre-order, Suikoden IV preorder, Suikoden I-II from ebay, Halo 2 preorder, Fable)
    Total total time to get- 5 days
    Price- 535
    Left over- 982,535

    10000 bags of pizza rolls
    Time to get- 5 days
    Cost- 64,900
    Left over- 917,635

    Honda SUV with all options and accessory
    Time to get- 3 days
    Cost- 65,000
    Left over- 852,635

    Centralized cooling system for wherever I live.

    Left over- 851,735

    $3,600 for a year's rent? Are you planning to move to Bangladesh?

    I'd probably pay for uni, buy a new car, buy a house for my parents, and give the rest away.

    Yeah, $3,600 will cover about three or four months. I don't care where you live, there's no way in hell rent is that cheap.

    And why buy a years worth of rent? You have a million dollars. Buy a damn house. With hookers. And booze.

    Lots of it.

    [q=Joel]Now lets kinda be specific on this. You might want to get a calculator and also think of about how many days it would take you to get this stuff.[/q]
    1. A house
    Total time to get: two weeks, including legal paperwork and inspections
    cost: $1,000,000 including tax and all relevant expenses
    Left over: $0

    The reason for this is simple: houses go up in value over time, especially million-dollar mansions. When the time was right, I could simply sell it off for a tidy profit, and do things such as paying off my student loan, being nice to cool people and charitable causes, etc.

    I would buy

    - l337 PC. Spending range $10k minus.
    - A small stash of apple sauce, say $100
    - Same goes for beef jerky.
    - And canned lime tuna
    - Dog food. For dog which I already own. lets say $20
    - A Soul Calibur 2 arcade machine, 2player. Programmed with moves listing. Um...$2k minus?
    - Extension of house for both the PC and the Soul Calibur 2 arcade machine. Price = $20k minus?
    - dodo penguin. Price = pay some1 to steal it i guess. $10k minus. Start my offer at $5k
    - Clothes. $1k
    - Shoes $500

    I'd give the rest to my parents as a cheque or money order form. That way I can tell the rich guy I spent the remaining $956180 on a 'gift' for my parents and he'd curse the day he never made me sign anything.

    Simple enough, land and real estate. Tie up all the money on tangibal stuff such as that. Then wait for the property to increase in value, then sell off later on for double the amount.
    There is no signature here. Move along.

    I'd buy a house. And a new car/truck. I'd stock the new house with furniture and other goodies. Like ed, I'd put the rest in bonds.

    I'd buy a house and a super computer and a nice car, and clothes. I would go on a shopping spree! Then I'd fly to see some of my friends. Then I'd shop again. And then the month would be over. So quick.
