I thought this may be a fun time waster. Post what you would do if you won the lottery. For the sake of imagination, lets say it is a good mega jackpot type lottery of 100 million dollars or so! Here's mine.

If I won the lottery I would:

  1. get out of debt
  2. build a new house with a walk in humidor
  3. stock the humidor with all of the good stuff
  4. hire Wade as my personal humidor caretaker and make him move down here out of the cold ass weather (that should cut down on all of his DAMN IT threads....:rofl:)

I daydream about this often. After the get rid of debt, take care of family, friends, and charity I would stock my multi car garage with:

HD Electra Glide Ultra Classic
Bobber with a Shovel and jockey shift
Chopper with a Pan in the style of Easy Rider
1981 Honda CBX (I have owned two)
Honda Trail 90 (my first two wheel love)
Honda Trail 50 (my first two wheel lust)
Dodge Viper
1956 Rat Rod Chevy pickup - flat black with giant motor
1963 Black Lincoln Continental Convertable with Blood red interior (this is the make and model JFK was riding in on that fateful day in Dallas)

And of course a very nice house with all the bells and whistles.

I daydream of this so often... I'd invest half of it in stocks. What's left would be used to buy a loft with a walk-in (filled) and a house. I'd rent the house. I'd get me ma out of debt. I'd mod the shite out of me car as well.

Most lottery winner actually squander all of their winnings. I'd just pay off all debts, live in the same house (or move to one within reason) and do things that I normally wouldn't do. I'd probably hold down a parttime job somewhere (so I won't get bored) and travel to places I would never get a chance to otherwise.

I win 100 million and I am going to get 50 million. After fed and state taxes, I will get 27 million. 10 million goes into a fund that will allow me to make 104k per month...tax free:smokingbo I would buy some acreage and build a new home...5 million max. The walk-in would be 1000 sq. ft. and the man cave would be an additional 2000 sq. ft. It would be f***ing sick!! The main house would be 7k - 10k sq. ft. I would take care of the family... 5 million. Hmmm...I'm up to 20 million, 7 more to go. I would most likely piss away another 1 million and invest the remaining 6.

I'd purchase a ton of rental properties, hire a property manager and staff to run them, these I'd own outright, and would generate enough income that the wife and I don't have to work unless we want to. Then I'd invest in some franchises mostly for the property values, gas stations or fast food on prime street corners and get someone to handle running them as well. Idea here is this property will only go up in value and if the retail pays the mortgage and bills the property will sell for a huge profit down the road with no further investment. Last I'd let a good friend move into the house to watch it while the wife and I go travel the world. If when we get back we don't have just as much money as when we started, we work on our investments for another six months. Freedom baby, I'd buy freedom.

Sweet idea! I think about this every 5 minutes.

1. Out of debt obviously.
2. Buy a very nice beach side condo on a very exclusive island somewhere in S Fla.
3. Buy a Ferrari.
4. Buy a Hummer.
5. Give 20 percent to my parents and siblings.
6. Travel extensively.
7. Invest what I had left.

Hmmmmm, i would put a lot in to a savings account and another part i would invest it.
My dream is to make my own company of clothes and name it after my great grandma who started the tradition of "designing", it would be called either Cusamano or Guessualdo.

Then i would give some to my parents, my sister so that she could get a boost in her photography career and... that's pretty much it.
I'm still young.
