You won the Lottery...
 
what the hell would you do with A LOT of money?
let's say you won like 5 million+ or something

that is a lot of money and basically , if you are smart about it, you wouldn't have to work ever again in your damn life ;)
would you be trying to live of that for the rest of your life
or would you spend as much as possible as quickly as possible because you cannot help it to buy all kinds of things... expensive things you could never afford before...

what kind of things would you buy and why?

i would buy myself the following things:

mini cooper
car for my boyfriend
a big ass house
one freaking fancy camera
a lot of new shoes and clothing
all kinds of epic things for my pets
i would buy a house for my mother with a garden, she deserves it and she badly wants a garden
i would buy so many fairy tail merchandise and pokemon stuff as well
get an imac desktop and iphone OH and an ipad OH OH and macbook

god there is so much i would love to own... but money.... MONEY IS ALWAYS AN ISSUE
damn reality :pink_pissed:

i would also donate money to charity that help animals

If ever i won that amount of money, while its tempting to say that I can just buy whatever i want, which naturally i would do for at least a couple of dollars worth, I would actually make investments with whatever i still have.

By making good investments, I would still be making more money.

I'd have a big one

5,000,000??

I would take $4,500,000 of it and invest it. I love Disney, so I'd issue a buy of 45,000 shares of Disney. That would list me as one of the major direct holders of the company and I'd be receiving an annual payout of probably $50k a year. As the years go by, that payout would increase.

I'd invest the remaining $500,000 in a RothIRA account to secure my future in case something happens.

Once everything is in place, I'll happily live comfortably for the rest of my life.

Pay off my debt as well as my parents' debt, buy a nice house where me and my friends who live in bad conditions can move in, and then buy a new car cause mine is starting to get old. I wouldn't want a fancy car. Maybe a 2012 Honda Accord or something. That's perfect to me.
Save the rest in the bank for bills and stuff and enjoy my life doing whatever I want without worrying about money.

EC March 12th, 2016 2:19 PM

Music. It seems every day I'm adding more and more music to my wishlist on Amazon, and barely making any dents in purchasing any of it, so...

Lunaris Adamantine March 12th, 2016 2:31 PM

I'd pay off all debts, quit my job, then move to a place and buy a house where I can get the attention I need to start an acting/voice acting career.

Just cause I'm rich doesn't mean I'm going to stop working completely. It just means I'm going to chase my dream job instead.

Thepokefansophia March 12th, 2016 3:09 PM

Well I would like to say that I would use the money for future purposes such as getting my own house and etc.

But most likely I spend it on rubbish like designer clothes and handbags and getting my nails,eyebrows and hair done. Also probably on food and I would like to give some of that money to charity.

I like to buy myself a puppy because they are so adoraaable!

that end bit is how i feel as well. i'd invest some, and then hop over to europe and chase my dream of being the world's biggest football agent. lots of money spent on flights, hotels, etc. i want to actually do something with my life rather than just roll around in money i didn't actually earn.

i'd also probably donate a bit to my school so they can build more buildings, and give some to my parents.

Syndrome March 12th, 2016 8:09 PM

I would drop out of uni immediately and pay off whatever debt I have from loans. Then I'd invest some of it because that's like the thing to do when you get this amount of money (or so I've been told)??? The rest is gonna go into a nice house and a few cars. I'd probably use some of it to start a career as a fitness model too.

Sirfetch’d March 12th, 2016 8:19 PM

I'd still want to work if I won the lotto. Idk about you guys but, I'd get bored after a few weeks of spending and would want something to do haha. I'd buy a nice house, some nice cars, probably donate some of it, and the rest would be divided into my savings and an investment or two.

Pebbles March 13th, 2016 3:51 AM

why so many have debts{D:}

Kikaito plush March 13th, 2016 5:25 AM

Buy all the vocaloid program voices.

Mawa March 13th, 2016 8:50 AM

... My student loan.
.. An assurance for my cat's health
Paying what's left on my brother's houses.
And move in something nice :3

Jessie March 13th, 2016 2:17 PM

I'd pay off the rest of my car, purchase a small horse farm (around 10 acres) with a quaint little home and a 4-stall barn. Nothing fancy, but in a safe area with nice pastures for the horses. I'd get a second horse since I'd be bringing my horse home and wouldn't want him to be alone, most likely a rescue. I'd also love a new truck.

I'd finish paying off my parent's home, vehicles, and debts. I'd probably buy my dad a Porsche, because he deserves it and he's always loved Porsche cars.

Lastly, I'd try to invest the rest.

As mentioned above, I would still work, but I definitely wouldn't be doing what I'm doing now. I would be pursuing my dream job instead.

moon March 13th, 2016 3:36 PM

um probably buy two big log houses in the canadian mountains and put my parents in one and myself and all the pets I'm gonna have in the other and just write stories during the weekdays for the rest of my days.

Margot March 13th, 2016 3:57 PM

Goodbye student loans, hello fully-funded graduate school <3

I'd use a lot of the money to travel all around Europe and South America. Then I'd buy vacation homes in my favorite places: one in a big city, one right off the ocean, and one in the mountains. Each house will have a massive library and a giant bathtub. Tbh, I'll probably buy a lot of new clothes/shoes/jewelry too.

The rest will go to various charitable causes.

ShinyUmbreon189 March 13th, 2016 7:04 PM

1: Pay off any legal fines I have
2: Buy my parents a house, it's the least I can do for them dealing with me for 18 years.
3: Buy myself a house, probably on the beach or something.
4: Buy a new SUV and an everyday driving car. No need for a sports car, attracts too much attention.
5: Buy a good quality music studio and try to get my own thing going.
6: Then probably put half of what I got left into investments and a retirement fund.

Brendino March 13th, 2016 11:59 PM

While I wouldn't quit outright, one of the first things I would do is reduce my availability at work to maybe one or two days a week, so I'd at least be keeping busy.

Then I'd buy a small house for myself (wouldn't need a big mansion or anything), a new car, some new furniture, and a bunch of electronics I probably don't need :P Then I'd make sure my family was taken care of, helping them pay off any loans/bills they have, and giving them enough so that they can live comfortably for a while.

Anything after that (hopefully at least half of my winnings), I'd either put into savings or invest. I wouldn't want to live an extravagant lifestyle or anything- I'd just like to be able to live life on easy mode for a while.

gimmepie March 14th, 2016 3:35 AM

I'd allow myself a couple of thousand just to do whatever with. Buy a house or two. Donate a bit. Open a dance studio and then save/invest the rest.

If only.

Gabri March 14th, 2016 6:28 PM

I'd blast it all on booze, drugs and hookers obviously.

...

Not really, I'd use it to help with university and life costs (both mine and my family's) and whatnot, and buy me a couple of stuffs I'd like to have. But I'd mostly save it.
