What would you do if you get a great amount of money - Page 4

eBookNerd · 06-16-2009, 10:02 AM

I love my house, but I'd probably move it out of the subdivision! New kitchen for sure. Help the kids finish college and pay off student loans for them. Buy a second home at the beach.
Buy equipment for the Children's Hospital in Boston. Build a ginormous 2 story home library with a fireplace, leather seats/sofas, multiple window seats - no spiral staircases or ladders though (I would fall). Maybe a swimming pool. Read, read, read!!!!

"What would you do if you had a million dollars?"

"I'd do two chicks at once."

Chicks dig dudes with money.

Great movie.

eeep! In my defense, I was very hungry. And cooked chickens sounded good. And I haven't seen that movie....

Buy a 20acre parcel of land, making sure I was nowhere near others.......have self sustaining houses built for myself and family.......surround with a block fence (money is no object, right?) top with concertina wire and broken glass.

Plant trees around the perimeter, blocking concrete wall.

Hire someone to live onsite to tend vegetable gardens and fruit/citrus trees.

Enjoy the real night sky.

I find shopping with my partner doable... I'd never go shopping alone, unless it's for some gadget...

We take turns driving to work. Not a personal driver, but getting there

Hmm, replying on emails... I'm horribly slow at that!

I do have a personal chef! I can't cook (or rather, I can cook, but it'll be rather bland, unless it's any form of pie, cake or other sweet stuff), but my husband can. So, he cooks. He might complain about it when I say he likes to cook, but he does (though, he'll probably never admit it

)

I'd offer it to SpringerLink or The Teaching Company in exchange for free-download-Fridays to everyone on the Internet.

I'd establish a huge, plush retirement home for cats, dogs and horses.
