That and a couple more to rent out. Invest the rest. Then play games all day.

Take other half, hire a reputable financialist or whatever they're called to invest my money for me so I can get more money.

Damn, you have $2.5 million in debt?

Anyway, here's what I'd do:

- I would keep working because if you had no money, you'd go bored and start blowing it.
- Put it into various investments
- Set up an interest earning account that will allow me to fuck 1,000 high dollar hookers/escorts until I'm 45.
- Buy a nice condo.

Post by: Eel O'Brian on October 30, 2013, 09:27:54 AM: Immediately quit my job, like just leave all my tools and paint sprayer in whatever apartment I was working in and tell them to give it all to the next sucker

do nothing but rest, watch movies, and play games for around three months while I sorted out what to give and to whom, what kind of house i want, etc

take 6 months and travel

invest most of what's left, go back to school

Post by: hampster on October 30, 2013, 09:30:37 AM: Pay off debt, move to a better city, buy a house, buy a new computer and stash the rest away for my kid's college and retirement

Being an adult sucks. Kid me would have filled a swimming pool with gummie bears :'(

Title: Re: What would you do if you won 5 million tomorrow?
Post by: radioheadrule83 on October 30, 2013, 11:10:04 AM: Pay debt, quit job, take time to do something worthwhile, learn worthwhile things, go travelling and see worthwhile things. Record music.
Pay off parents' debt (they're probably close to not having any).

I'd watch with curiosity how it affected my relationships. If anybody suddenly wanted more involvement where they'd had little before they'd be getting short thrift. I'm not vindictive by nature, but I think someone trying to cosy up and take advantage of me could cause me to be incredibly nasty indeed. The social effects would be the most interesting to experience IMO.

I've read my vague first sentence back and I'm tempted to ask myself why I can't do any of that stuff now. A more youthful, optimistic version of myself would probably give it a go. In the real world, time and energy is limited to some extent by life and basic survival getting in the way. They say money doesn't make people happy, but it definitely makes it much easier for people to be happy if they want to be. No doubt about it.

Post by: Great Rumbler on October 30, 2013, 11:45:03 AM: As a serious answer:

-Buy/build a new house
-Buy a new car
-Buy a new computer
-Buy a bunch of anime figures and body pillows
-Take an extended trip to Italy with a personal guide
-Throw the rest in a modest yield account
-Write books for the next 60 years

Title: Re: What would you do if you won 5 million tomorrow?
Post by: Fragamemnon on October 30, 2013, 12:19:47 PM: first, get a leave of absence from my job. I don't want to quit it, just not be around for a while. Pay off house. Hire amazing landscapers and get some cray cray backyard landscape work done.

Travel and birdwatch with my wife for four or five months straight. See EVERYTHING, from penguins in Patagonia to the Galapagos Islands to the Mongolian taiga.

Take a motorcycle safety course and get a bike. Use it to ride around town and get good beer instead of that box wine Von Cruncheon loves so much.

Spend two weeks in Seattle. Eat a hot dog with MAF and visit other friends. Go to TI4 and watch people play some dota.

Pretty modest stuff.
