Somebody offered me ten dollars for my shopping cart and everything I had in it.

I thought that was a lot of money but, I didn't see it on your list.

no, but if someone handed me $50,000 right now, all of it would be gone in two weeks.

I'd spend that tomarrow, it would actually make me go in the hole sooner but not as deep because I'd have to borrow more to buy the boat I've been eyeballing for a couple of years.

I would definately use money wisely.

That means Investing
At the very least it would go towards decreasing my mortgage amount.

I'd play with a small portion; depending on the total amount.

Sure would be nice to take the 78 Trans Am into a paint and body shop.

It would take at least $3,000,000.00 for me to feel comfortable. That's the bare minimum of what I'd call "a lot of money." I still wouldn't feel like I could live a life of leisure though.

1 million would be nice. I'd have it sit in the bank a good year and add up all the Interest I'd make off that, then go crazy with it

If you managed to squeeze 3% interest from your bank, then you'd still be losing about $1000 over 12 months off that deal.

But you have to be needing 1 mill to pay off the 6 cars you have rolled up in your mountaineer payment.....

I think $3 million would get me off to a pretty good start. first and foremost I would pay off all my mom's medical bills and make sure she always has the best medicine and treatments that she needs. then I'd buy about 200 acres up on kentucky lake and build me a house with my own boat dock, a 15 acre motocross track for fourwheelers and a big *** garage. after that I'd go crazy and buy a 40' baja outlaw, 50' gibson houseboat and a yamaha gp1300r for the lake. for the road I'd get a new f350 crew cab powerstroke, 68 z28, 67 fastback mustang, new shelby gt500 mustang, new range rover sport and I'd get my mom and dad new vehicles. I dont have any idea what I'd do after that though haha.
