Tithe
Debts
House
New car and sound system (Sell old one, Kia Rio bleh)
Deposit enough to forcast bills for 10 years or so
.

I doubt I'll have anything left after that, but if I do:

The PC I've been wanting to buy for like the last YEAR
XBox with a crapload of games
PS2 with certain games that my friend doesn't have

I got a friend that has about $250k in school loans. Myself it was only $11k due to community college for the first 2 years and my scholarships.

A million dollars isn't that much in today's world! I would put it in the bank and doing some planning, invest it, and spend it slowly. After I put it in the bank, I'd probably buy a sweet computer or two and a sportscar. Then I'd go from there.

I'd consider buying all the software and music I've pirated.
I wouldn't actually do it, I'd just consider it.

Re: If you suddenly got a million dollars - what would you buy?

i would buy a truckload of beer, a chrome-plated canoe with flames painted down the sides, a ferret, a large kevlar-lined helmet, and probably buy TechTV cuz their new programming sux, and guns-lotsa-guns!
well, actually, i would invest about 80% of it and blow the rest on computer stuff. (but a chrome plated canoe would be tight!)

-----------------------------
Owning guns is statistically safer than going to the doctor... Think about it.

Re: If you suddenly got a million dollars - what would you buy?

First off... You guys saying you would buy high end computers..that's crazy..computer parts are cheap enough to buy if you worked a 6.50/hr job.. well maybe with overtime..

Anyhow..I'd put it all into my company...and turn around and make 3million the following year?? Maybe?? lol.

Then i'd buy a $875,000 dollar home in the middle of no where on a 100 acre lot. One room would be a "datacenter" Consisting of my racks, servers, apcs,,etc. I'd have wireless monitors and speakers in each room of the house. A rotatating turn table in my living room with a "tricked out" 72 Chevy Nova on it. Surrounded by recess lights. My climate controlled four car garage would consist of 2 schools, a range rover, a porshe 911 , a Yamaha raptor 650R, a jet ski and a yamaha 1100 The center of my home's roof would be built as a heli pad and helicopter. On top of my house would also be a 50 caliper heat sensing fully automatic machine gun turret which would be activated upon tripping a 'danger zone' in my front yard when armed.

I would still work though..I just wouldn't take no bullshyt from anyone.

I'd find people whom treated me like shyt in the pass that are currently unemployed. Give them a job and treat them like shyt. lol

Then i'd pay to have people I didn't like ...killed.. Like... fuq with me..I make a call and have your a$z cancelled like the Dave Chappel show lol but within the hour.

Then I'd become this "Mr. Big" Crime boss (that's what i've always wanted to be right..lol) and launder illegal arms, drug, stolen money through my legit IT company

Ok..I think that may be have been little over a million lol sorry..got carried away lol

Re: If you suddenly got a million dollars - what would you buy?

I chose other. I would invest the money in a number of things, new house, nice car, some in the bank, perhaps give a little to chairty, and then i would buy a nice computer. I laugh at everyone who voted for "I'll quit my job or go into early retirement". If you can retire on a million dollars, please call me and tell me how rofl. 1 million dollars is not enough to retire on for the people on this site. The story would be different if you were a single 50 year old person and up. I know im just throwing things around here, but beleive me, your million would ware down quickly.
