Recipes: 0 Rep Power: 158 | I would spend 300,000 on opening a computer and software store complete with an internet cafe, computer consulting, full in home repair services, and 'lan parties' (video game competitions) for prizes. (300k would include initial operating costs for several months to a year) I would spend 20,000 on a good car, and set aside another 30,000 grand in a seperate checking account to cover all car related expenses (including gas + insurance). I would continue living where I live now and set aside enough money to pay my rent for 10 years I'd make sure my gym membership is up to date, and restock my supplement cabinet. (perhaps in bulk )I'd put aside food money, maybe 5 grand. Then i'd take the left over money (between 500,000 and 600,000), and split it up into rolling savings accounts. Preferabely between seperate banks. What would YOU do with a million dollars?

| Pro Stature | Untill I decided what to do with it, I'd keep it all in the bank and live off the interest for a while, spending it on rent, supps, food and the usual crap. I'd buy a place in the south of France, and maybe a house in Canada. After that, I'd continue to just live off interest if I could while keeping the bulk in the bank. |

| Pro Stature | Pay off my parent's home. Buy dad a fully restored 500hp 1978 Trans Am. Buy the house next to my grandparent's, blow it up, and build a tropical greenhouse for all their birds and plants. Pay back my parent's for college and pay off the remaining 4 years. Purchase myself a house, muscle car(s), and my girlfriend some car(s). Invest a couple hundred thousand in gold coins and very low risk stocks. Help by investing in a early childhood education center for my girlfriend (she's a teacher). That will bring back 10x what I invest in short amount of time. And last.......buy a badass engagement ring ![]() After I graduate from college I'll pull in probably $70k+ each my first couple years. With the investments I made in coins and stocks I'd be a pretty wealthy person. |

| Pro Stature | LOL yeah, I'd probably treat myself to some expensive Russian prostitutes too, just for the hell of it. |

| Pro Stature | Bad idea - skip the Russians and go straight to the Czech girls (You'll thank me later)! I would invest 900,000 in property - best place to put your money, as far as I'm concerned. With 100,000 I would buy some nice guns, a car, and any other imaginable thing I saw. Then I would join the Army Special Forces.

Recipes: 0 Rep Power: 7 | Oh man.. Finish fully restoring my 1971 Pontiac Ventura. She's my baby that I can't afford to take care of anymore Then I'd redneck-up my '05 Colorado. Get rid of all my mom's debts. Buy a little place on a beach somewhere, deck it out with a home gym... then I'd fill that garage up with any muscle car that tickles my fancy. All starting with a 1970 Hemicuda. If there's any money left I'll buy supplements... and gas. Lots of gas.
