Blah blah blah. I'd spend all 50,000$ on a plane ticket for two and galavant around Asia until the money ran out.

Why? Because I know it'd never happen, therefore I have no reason to behave responsibly in a theoretical situation. Invest. Debt payments. Psha. Live a little.

I know what you mean but it'd be nice to not have debts while on your theoretical trip

me: pay of car and fix it up a bit ~$20k and that leaves $30k left to go blow it all next year the world cup or maybe i'd invest it wait till 2014 when/if Brazil gets to host it (or whoever much cooler places have bid than south africa) and blow it all on tickets to all the matches lots of liquor and enough drugs to make it all a sweet sweet memory only remembered because of a camera

The kind of chicks that would double up on a guy like me.

Live in Thailand and train Muay Thai until the dollars ran out...prolly around 30 months.

That or I would spend a year in Thailand living like a king and getting personal sessions twice a day /drool

Haka Shakamalakabalsaka · 02-11-2009, 12:21 AM

Lots of

edit:

Maybe I'm being short sighted... in that case:

Eduardo · 02-11-2009, 12:41 AM

Definitely more of this. Would get about 1.13 million more shares at closing price today.

edit: haha, crashed this morning on some stupid partnership news. Don't worry though, I took my investment + profits out last week and ride freebies at this point :P

Tullaeniel · 02-11-2009, 04:01 AM

I would turn my basement into a dungeon with chains and 24 Box EQ... I'd also buy hookers.

Northerner · 02-11-2009, 04:17 AM

Hookers and blow.

Too lazy to pic it even for FOSS. Ref:PGT.

Put options on Eduardo's penny stock.

kollos · 02-11-2009, 05:33 AM

hard to say, i guess i dont really have use for that much money.
i sure would go travel around the world and visit lots of places.
probably the best use i can think of.

andlots of minor stuff like video games, a projector, a new guitar, repair my car.
maybe a miniramp.

Szlia · 02-11-2009, 07:29 AM

The funny thing with this gold debate is that the original picture is a box of swiss chocolate...

So yeah... 50k? Mmmmh... I'd use it to make a 1 year tennis trip around the world, buying tickets to all 9 Master Series (called ATP 1000 now), 4 Grand Slams and the Masters' Cup. Not sure it would be enough though, especially considering some of the tickets, like for Wimbledon, would have to be bought on the black market.

That or start a company or self-produce a small budget movie...

roosta · 02-11-2009, 09:22 AM

..no, not chubby girls, big ole tires.

Can you run over the chubby girl WITH the tire?

Camerous · 02-11-2009, 09:32 AM

Finally finish post production on a movie I have waiting to finish. Buy another camera so we don't have to redo block shots. Then go hire me a porn star for the weekend for 5 grand and fuck her till my cum came out her nose... and film it while I was doing it of course! Give the other 10k that is left to my parents cause hell they deserve it.

Eomer · 02-11-2009, 10:00 AM

People suggesting loan repayment or investments are hella gay. Even if that's what you would actually do, this is a thread to fantasize.

Given my current situation, that of being chained to a company I can't leave for more than a week or two at a time, I can't fuck off for a year of travelling which is one thing that would be high up on the list if I could. Other ideas:

-Fly a Mig-29 in Russia, pray that I don't die
-Downpayment with Burt Rutan and Richard Branson to fly on Spaceship Two: I think the flight is 200k
-Trip for a couple weeks to see an F1 race, probably Monaco so I can pretend I'm a high roller, maybe somewhere else. Given that I have 50k, it would be first class.
-An entire new wardrobe, purchase by a fashion consultant
-Hire an interior designer to spiff up my place, purchase artwork etc
-Liquor and whores
