What would you do with a million dollars?

[sr71plt]

So far I've just left it invested.

 

[Edward Teach]

Just curious...after taxes...

If someone gave you or if you won one million dollars, what would you do with the money?

What's the first thing you'd do?

Would you save it?

Would you invest it?

Would you spend it?

Or would you do a combination of the above?

If you decided to spend some or all of it, what would you buy?

Would you buy a car? What kind of car?

Would you buy a house? Where would you buy the house?

I remember when a million dollars was a lot of money but not so anymore.

I might see if I could tempt some busty blonde to visit NC with a Saleen 302.

If I had a million dollars, I'd buy SusanJillParker a green dress.

You'd be really surprised when Freddie showed up.

First thing I'd do is inform my wife and move forward together, then we'd seek out counsel from our accountant and RIA. However we'd definitely make essential donations to our primary charitable causes.

And is there such a thing as a postnuptual agreement?

Quick and tax-free cool million, eh? Real easy answer since the list is already made.

First: Buy the house with three acres and outbuildings that is for sale about a half mile away. Set up a cat and dog sanctuary.

Second: Convert one of the buildings into a small antique and vintage toy museum. Drop at least $50k on eBay buying items for it.

Third: Pick up a decent used RV just in case I ever feel like doing a thirty-day road trip.

Fourth: Make my four favorite charities very, very happy.

Fifth: Invest the balance.

Sixth: Make some serious changes to the will.

Saleen?

I'd be persuaded to come to see the car...as long as I could drive it (lol).

"911, what's your emergency."

"My car was stolen by a tall, busty blonde."

"How did she steal your car? Did you leave the cars inside."

"No, I gave her the keys."

"You gave her the keys?"

"Yeah, I met her online on the Literotica forum boards and told her that she could drive my car if she came down to see me. Hello? Operator? 911? WTF! She hung up on me."

I like your second idea a lot about selling some antique (wink) and vintage (wink, wink) toy museum that you bought on E-Bay that are imported from the orient, the far East, made in China.

Also, than you for adding me to your will.

Bare Naked Ladies

Blue. My favorite color is blue. And ever since I lost everything in the great 100-year Susquehanna flood on 9/11/11, I've been living in jeans, sweatshirts, and sneakers (lol).

I do miss wearing short skirts and flashing my panties, my favorite thing to do behind wearing low cut blouses and flashing my bra and cleavage.

"Ah, those were the days before reality and homelessness hit."

"Well, operator, she said she liked Mustangs, so I bought her a 750 hp Saleen 302 Mustang hoping to impress her, but, but, she just jumped in it and took off. Operator? Operator? Shit."

And is there such a thing as a postnuptual agreement?

That's complicated, postnuptials are on a state by state basis. You'd need to contact an attorney specializing in these type of matrimonial contracts, in your state of primary residence . My wife and I have a clearly defined extensive prenuptial agreement.

Problem with #1, the sanctuary would eat up that million so fast...

Problem with #2, with all the building codes for setting up museums that million would be gone before you could buy the antiques or even open the doors to the museum.

Problem with #5, you won't have any left over. A million dollars doesn't go very far these days.

Sorry to tell you all this.

 

[sr71plt]

Agree with Zeb. In my region the million (even left over after taxes) wouldn't cover the three and a half acres developed to accommodate the described shelter, let alone with anything else contemplated. A million doesn't cover as much as those making very little now imagine.

 

[MichaelinChina]

Convert it to Chinese RMB.

 

[Zeb_Carter]

Convert it to Chinese RMB.

At the current exchange rate $1,000,000 = 6,356,550.00 Yuan.

 

[loquere]

How about a donation to charity?

 

[Zeb_Carter]

I'm managing to support thirteen already on a meager disability income...set $100k or so of the million aside, and forty to fifty would be no problem.

Building codes and the costs aren't a problem when all you're doing is cosmetics to an existing structure. I've already been down that road with an antique store and know what is required.

Oh, there would be money left over to invest and subsidize both the sanctuary and the museum. Budgeted correctly, I would easily be able to set back half or more of the initial million.

Okay. You might be able to do the pet rescue.

As for a building open to the public. How many bathrooms does it have? Is it heated in the winter(don't ask, building codes - I know it's Florida)? Is it air conditioned in the summer? Does it have a sprinkler system? A fire alarm system? Shall I go on?

Doesn't matter if the building exists or not, you will need to bring it up to code.

 

[lovecraft68]

Quit my damned job.

Give a lot of money to the local animal shelters.

Buy the old "Club Babyhead/Club Hell in Providence and turn it into "The Black Flame" the Occult fetish club I created in one of my novels.

 

[lovecraft68]

Hey, I know.

I would buy literotica.

And these would be my changes.

No more anonymous, you'd have to register to read and comment on stories. Would cut down on trolling big time.

I would moderate the GB, it would be worth the money to see them frothing over there when their BS was erased.

Pay a couple of people to screen stories and enforce the rules which I would most likely leave as is, except they would be consistently enforced.

Seeing one of the existing rules is no rape. I would eliminate the non con category and have just reluctance and add a rough-but consensual-sex category.

There would be no more chapter stories allowed in monthly contests and there would be a separate top list for chapter stories and stand alone stories.

The themed contests would be drastically changed, but the changes would be based on suggestion made in thread where everyone could weigh in.

Oh, and one more thing. Scouries would be gone.

Yes, you're correct, Zeb. But as I said, I've been through this before here and know there is great flexibility in what the inspectors can and will choose to require with an existing structure upgrade. Building codes vary tremendously between what I'm talking about and converting an existing building to uses such as a restaurant, retail store, or other heavy traffic establishment.

I wouldn't be planning on replicating The Louvre; more like one of those little niche-type, 1500-2000 square foot museums you find in small towns and medium-sized cities all over America.

It's all a pipe-dream anyway until Freddy coughs up this "magic million."

LOVE THIS LOL!

However, Laurel would be an idiot to sell Literotica for 1 million dollars. MORE!

 

[SEVERUSMAX]

Pay off my debts and my taxes, give a bit to certain causes (almost forgot about that) and with the remaining hundred grand or so, I'd buy a small place in Alaska to live, maybe seek out two or three regular lovers, invest a portion to keep the money flowing in, write a lot, and catch some fish now and then. Oh, and stock up on pizza, whiskey, and beer.
