If you had a million dollars...

I'd put it into a savings account and use the interest to subsidize my living expenses. I'll hopefully retire young, pull it out and combine it with the rest of my earnings and buy an acre or two in the mountains. Spend the rest of my life enjoying the beautiful mountain scenery, gardening, working on random projects and I'd imagine virtual reality will be along by then so I'll probably spend most of my time just screwing around.

A few things I might do...
Spend a bucket load to buy materials to get inventions started
Invest in instant noodle stock
Set up a national chain of either dim-sum or yakisoba food trucks
Create a super powerful lightweight capacitor [who doesn't want to shoot lightning out of their hands??]

I'm not sure if people are overly optimistic in what you can do with a million dollars or if Sweden is just expensive as fuck.

For a million dollars I would pay of my student loans and buy a decent apartment in central Stockholm. If a single million would be able to get me something substantial that I could live in indefinitely.

It's true, and you're not the first person to point that out:

Go to shit countries, buy houses and then rent them out to people to steadily turn some profit.

Keep saving 'til I have enough to safely play some stocks- enough to balance out any potential failures.

Invest in sustainability, clean energy, and space- because I give a shit.

Buy some land and build a 100% self-sufficient house- totally off the grid so I don't have to put up with bills. Far removed from society so people would leave me the fuck alone.

Build a small tavern in a small town. A brewery as well.


Yours seems to take alot of time, let alone money. A million dollars can only go so far.

OT: Get better computer equipment then get more video game consoles (all of them, really). After that, I'd have everything necessary.

As to grandiose things; well, a million dollars won't get you as much anymore. It's not like I can buy a car of solid gold or anything (Hell, with the way gas prices are, just filling it up might as well cost a million).


But the fact of getting an entire million in one shot is quite overwhelming so it's interesting to see what people would to.

If I had a million dollars I'd probably...
1. Take a trip to Japan and Germany.
2. Get a new laptop/desktop.
3. Get season tickets for the Devils
4. Buy some stuff from the Fakku store.
5. Hold onto the remainder for other miscellaneous things/living expenses.

I would invest $250,000 into stocks and bonds, put another $500,000 in the bank, and spend the last quarter on myself.

I would clear my own and my parent's debts, upgrade my computer, get some new dive gear, and then stretch the rest as far as possible (or invest, who knows).

A dream we all share, no doubt.

I'd buy a 4 bedroom house, some nice furniture, electronics, and save the rest in case of an emergency.

buy car, house, hire maids, have my own personal chef, buy lot of clothes, shoes, travel, get a yacht, party every night, probably make me a music studio to record music and much more shit.

Well for one I'd have a million dollars. Which in itself is quite satisfying.

And then I'd probably put it in a bank somewhere, with interest rates at 0.5% or something.

And that's still like 5000 bucks every month. So yeah. That might be about it.

Id buy a nice car, a nice house, A real, non repro STG-44, invest some, maybe start a business, then live the good life from there.


Love the STG-44 idea.me though?
I'd get me a Mosin Nagant,M14-EBR,A H&K G36,G36c,MG36,an H&K tactical .45 (with plenty of ammo for each) and spend like ten grand on a badass computer and pocket the rest for a later date.

Tell NO ONE. Keep 50,000 for emergencies or something, and give the rest to Fakku. Seriously. I don't need a whole lot of money to be happy, as long as I have video games and a computer.
