You have just acquired ten million dollars.





I am curious to know what you would do with it. Would you buy a Veyron? Or perhaps you would buy Bughatti and make lots of money selling Veyrons to fools like me?

[Invisible Friend.]

Shopping time.

This is hard.

I would buy a house probably.
Or maybe build one I like.
And a new car.
And do some traveling.
And maybe start my own clothing brand.
I like designing stuff.
And even if I sucked at it, oh well.
So yeah pretty boring.

But the making it into more money sounds good. 
But I would have no idea how...

[Nick 2]

own up, who's the commie?

[hammer]

A: A Liveable Bus type thingy I can cruise the country in.

B: The latest & Greatest audio & video recording/editing gear

C: Hire my mates out of their current jobs to re-record everything we've ever written for however long that takes, then hire someone who really knows their shit to mix it!

D: Cruise the country, listening to the greatness that is me & me mates!

& Never Work for a living Again!!

Well there was clearly only one option for anti-capitalist, anti-materialist lefties like me, so I chose it. I'd keep just enough to buy a few kilos of Haigh's Strawberry Creams and maybe a giraffe sanctuary, and then give the rest to far worthier causes than multinational shopping chains. You know, underfunded charities, the shanty town I've worked at in Buenos Aires, ending world poverty, all that jazz; people and places that deserve it. Money is nothing in itself and has no real value, only what we put on it. I'd burn it all, except that I accept that money is necessary and is sorely needed by above-mentioned causes. So to them it would go. And this ain't just rhetoric. Think of me what you will; it's genuinely how I feel.

I spose that would make me the commie? 

[Nick 2]

i'm impressed actually.

curious to know who thinks they are above my poll and voted option 4

Maybe it was our new friend, Alan Rickman, because he already has that much money?

So that pretty much means I do too. 

[Phenolphthalein]

Okay, speaking of what I'd actually do if I had acquired 10 million out of nowhere, not ... yeah, anyway.

1. Buy mother a house of her choice
2. Buy mother a car of her choice
3. Buy me a house
4. Give mother a decent portion of the money
5. Give grandparents and aunty a significantly smaller portion of the money
6. Invest the rest
7. Oh, and throw some of it charity's way
8. And I would probably be forced to give some to 'god' by the aunty.

Ok, I'm determined that this doesn't take over this thread too, but you ain't married yet! And let's take any response back to SUOPC, please

A: gain enough weight to look like a mobile toaster
B: Become a shell of your former self
C: Install a 1600cc engine that is prone to catch fire

Congratulations, you are no longer a Commie, you're a Kombi!

(I'm sure that will make sense to someone!)

Is Kombi one of Nick's characters?

Oh yeah actually I would build my parent a new house too.
But really is 10 million enough to do all this.
Like I want an amazing like house with all cool stuff right on the water.
How much do they cost anyways?

Depends which bit of water. If you want the nice bit of Sydney Harbour, most of your $10mil. If you want the swampy crap out the back of Port Wakefield, not much.

Anyhoo, I only said I wanted to end global poverty. $10mil ain't gonna do that! But you know, it's the though that counts

  It made sense to me!

Though I'd like to think I'd give a significant portion away, recent experience suggests I would not.    Last time I got sudden bags of money, I actually gave away about 2% .

But I've always thought I'd like to fund a decent women's refuge.  Ten million would buy a lot of refuge.
