lukeiamyourdad Posted April 11, 2005 Posted April 11, 2005 That's not exactly true. A hardworking man can have a habit of saving up cash and using it in a smart manner. But I do agree about the people who buy lottery tickets being spenders.
Emperor Devon Posted April 11, 2005 Posted April 11, 2005 Pointless to buy those things. There's hardly any chance of winning. You're lucky for houses to be so cheap, ChAiNz. Where I live, a good house costs around $430,000.
stingerhs Posted April 11, 2005 Posted April 11, 2005 @LIAYD: thats a special case that doesn't fit the statistics. and i'm sure that some people like that do exist, but they are most definately not in the majority. the fact is that the majority of Americans (~90%) spend more than what they earn and have amassed a sizeable amount of debt. if you want citations, then ask me for some in the morning when i feel like digging out the paper i wrote last semester on this same exact subject.
Boba Rhett Posted April 11, 2005 Posted April 11, 2005 The fear factor contestants only get 50,000. Some of the stuff doesn't look super bad but some stuff, like the liquified bugs, I dunno if I could even try to do. I'd probably throw a rock at a bear for a million dollars.

You're lucky for houses to be so cheap, ChAiNz. Where I live, a good house costs around $430,000. Yeah, I had noticed the farther North I go, the more expensive it is to even "live"... When I lived in Michigan, even the small "not-so-nice" houses were uber-expensive... (not to mention maintenance for the harsh weather)... I guess living in the Southern "time warp" has it's advantages hehehe... Anywho, after I take dirty pics of LIAYD and post them I'd say I'd spend some of my million on just "grown-up toys" (everyone has to go crazy at least a little).. then do my standard "old fart" habits and invest in my IRA, my 401k and my Savings... Hell, with a little under a million in savings alone I could live off the interest OH yeah... invest in real estate (people will always need land)...
Emperor Devon Posted April 11, 2005 Posted April 11, 2005 I'd throw a rock at a person. A sharp rock. Several sharp rocks. Whatever gets me paid.

Ahh ChAiNz, those would also be my choices as well! Million Dollars = Lotsa Intrest = Live well, and never have to work again... I like that! Originally posted by Emperor Devon You'd spend $250,000 on a car? That's not what I said is it ED? Try buying a decent fully loaded car with $250,000, you won't have much left... the high end of the standard production auto markets are up to around $90,000 for a top of the line, fully loaded model. Now if you start talking Exotics/Imports you could easily eat up the $250,000. What is a "Decent" car? That all veries drastically pending personal tastes... Me personally, I'd go for a 1967 Shelby GT-500, but I'm strange that way.
Sivy Posted April 11, 2005 Posted April 11, 2005 i would do just about anything for $1m... apart from man sex
Darth333 Posted April 11, 2005 Posted April 11, 2005 Originally posted by RedHawke Million Dollars = Lotsa Intrest = Live well, and never have to work again... I like that! With the actual interest rates, you'd still have to work... Dunno what I would do for a quick easy million but I know what I would do with it: buy lots of cookies and send them to poor cookie monster
KNeo Posted April 11, 2005 Posted April 11, 2005 Why... I think I’d ...eat a klondike bar? O_o hmm... I think I'd strip naked and run through a cornfield while perverts shoot me with paintballs. ^ The above statement was based an factual events. Not that I'VE done it. I just heard that women actually get paid lots of money to do that. It might not be true... *shrug*
StoneDragon Posted April 11, 2005 Posted April 11, 2005 Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm.....I would give up all my games.... Of course, after someone gave me the $1m, I would buy new games and some expensive computer.

KNeo Posted April 11, 2005 Posted April 11, 2005 Actually now that I think about it... being shot with a paintball gun whilst naken would farkin hurt. Espeically for girls. Being shot in the tit would hurt like hell. I get bruises from being shot WITH clothes on. *shudders* I withdraw the above statement about running through the field naked.
lukeiamyourdad Posted April 11, 2005 Posted April 11, 2005 Originally posted by Crying_Fate Being shot in the tit would hurt like hell. I've received many, many, many, many many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many soccers balls right on my balls. I can't have babies anymore. Playing paintball with the right clothes on already hurts like hell. Wouldn't like to be shot while naked.
The Hidden One Posted April 11, 2005 Author Posted April 11, 2005 Playing ball with the right clothes on already hurts like hell. Would'nt to be shot while naked. I've had many expieriences in that sorta stuff.*shudders* But I don't like to dwell on the past. But I rethink my descision, I would jump without my clohes lit on fire.

lukeiamyourdad Posted April 12, 2005 Posted April 12, 2005 I don't know how a frozen paintball feels but I guess it is like a rubber bullet :S
stingerhs Posted April 12, 2005 Posted April 12, 2005 ^^^^ imagine loading your marker with small round stones. then you'd understand what it feels like.
The Hidden One Posted April 12, 2005 Author Posted April 12, 2005 I have a friend who says that is something like that.... But I know it hurts like crap.

Originally posted by Boba Rhett Isn't interest down to like ~2%? Maybe lower? Even at 1% to 2% monthly interest for $1,000,000 that comes to $10,000 to $20,000 a month... that's a pretty darned good income IMHO! That would definately keep you from having to work too hard!
