Piles of Money

First thing I would do is buy a big boat and play this song:

I promised my friends I would

You people with debts... for shame.

1: Live exactly like I do now, but less ramen and more food in my diet.
2: Go through all the bullshit it takes to get my vagina.
3: Save up a few hundred thousand in several bank accounts to survive in the face of Murphy.
4: Buy a house. I fucking hate the very concept of rent, and I want to be somewhere less crowded. Or I could just wait for my parents to die, there's always that. But Alaska's a no-go for Ash, so that's a tad nonfortunate.
5: Donate the rest, and tell the people who owe me money that they can forget paying me back.

I don't need or want hundreds of millions. I'm a simple girl, and I've got simple tastes and even simpler desires.

Wait until you meet the concepts of property tax and Home Owner Association fees along with sewer, water, garbage, and home maintainence. Many of these are rolled up into the bottom line of "rent" depending on where you rent.

Why is everyone so serious lately?

Would rather get myself a house out where Home Owner Association doesn't exist. I was raised a country gal, and the city is not doing itself any favors if it's trying to get me to like it.

Property tax is yet another tax to pay. L'sigh.

By the by: what's your opinion on California, Oregon, and Washington?

[Rhizomorph13]

Do you mean for a place to live? Probably the Portland Area where I live. It seems really popular. My brother has lived in LA and San Deigo and he fucking loves San Diego. Seattle seems pretty cool but the cost of living is really high. All three, Seattle, Portland, and San Diego have great Swing Dance scenes. I'm sure that is important to you.

Simply put Washington is rainy and cold, Oregon is rainy and a little less cold, while California is hot and dry with temperate areas in San Francisco, San Diego, and the northern third is pretty temperate with lovely forests. I lived in the Redding area and it is very rural and beautiful.

My Irish boy puts in for Portland, as he lives there now and quite likes it.

Here in the US we have a large on-going lottery called Mega Millions that covers over 12 states. On rare occasions I buy a couple $1 lottery tickets. No I did not win.
However some people do and a rare few of them win upwards of 2 to 300 million dollars.

For the sake of argument, lets say that you were left with $100,000,000 (£63,500,000) after taxes free and clear. What are a first few things you would do with it?

Well, I don't play lottery and this is for a religious purpose.
Playing lottery is a type of gambling (i.e. by which one loses or gains money), and gambling is prohibited in Islam.

But yeah, just for the sake of argument, here are some of the things I might do if had the said amount of money:

- Give most of the money as charity.
- Travel to other countries.
- Save some of them for my parents and brothers.
- Get myself a better car.
- Buy more books.
- Buy a decent house (but most likely wait I'll for that).
- Buy a better computer instead of having this old/slow Dell computer.
- And then save the rest for the future.

There are probably more things that I would do, but I don't know what lies ahead in my future, or what situations I may have to encounter, so I don't know for sure what I'm going to do with so much money. Also, I don't look forward to having a rich and luxurious life, and there's not much things that I want to buy for myself right now. That means I would have to find other beneficial ways to invest all that money.

lol, I'm an atheist and I don't gamble because...I don't have the fucking money to lose! Much nicer than "god doesn't like it."

That last guy I was seeing was loaded and often loved to hit casinos and do the whole Rat Pack thing. He couldn't understand why I was so leery of gambling. I guess some people don't know what it's like to choose between rent, your car bill and food.

Ahh, and you think you have the maturity to handle a situation that you've never faced before? Interesting.

What, it's not like it hasn't been done before.
