Can I have a million pounds instead? They're worth more.
$1m US = £628,813.80
whereas
£1m GB = $1,590,045.29
Plus I can spend it easier

I would drive to San Francisco and get some Dim Sum, then I would fly immedeately to Heathrow airport in London and get some fish and chips and a bottle of Lilt, then off to Cornwall to get some of those brilliant pasties they have. I would do all of this whilst consuming enough VSOP congniac to drown a large horse (assuming the horse is a very good swimmer, of course)

A million dollars, American. Or a million pounds. that is a lot of money for a little girl...
I would buy an apartment or a little tiny cottage (money doesn't go far on houses in Sydney), & a new computer. I would give some to my parents, & some to my sister. I would buy an airbrush & a lot of canvas. And some wine, and a lot of food, and a personal trainer called Sveyn, and a car, and... when does this money run out?

Either way you've still got loads left.
So far you've got a guitar, a scooter, a coat and a pc.
That can't come to much more than about $8000. If that.
You have to think bigger in these things I reckon.

Or better still. Tell noone you've one. Buy say a thousand lottery tickets and share them out amongst your friends.
Then if any of them win they're bound to share at least some of their good fortune with you. . .

ah and to top it all off....
an old VW stoner van!!!
like the "mystery machine"....
and the rest i would spend like at least 1000 on
grey tape, toilet paper, and eggs and use it on
Rich family houses...Yeah....
You know i find it easier to remove toilet paper from trees using the water hose and hosing it down....
It will dry on the ground eventually and then you can just rake it up....hmmm, years of experience has served me well....
darn little kids, comming up to this house and throwing meager toilet paper......at my trees...i got something for'em this year!!!
*laughing heartily, he bends over, and picks up a large "Wal-Mart" shopping bag full of rotting meat from his back door...then he walks over and pats the wheel to his homemade pumpkin launcher*
If they come within 90-80 yards of this house....
BAMMMM!!!!
right in the head with old hamburger meat!!!
They will never know what hit them!!!

I'd but that house near Ceres and sit on my ass all day going "aaaahhhh"
I'd also rebuild a room in the house specifically for Errol's needs, so he can have his own little bachelors pad, with a waterfall, constant food supply, heat rocks galore and as many extension cords he could want to climb.

I'd give my parents enough money to quit work and go travelling, which is their dream. I'd pay off my sister's morgage then she could stop setting herself limits so she can pay it. I'd fritter away a few thousands on clothes and other desirable items. I'd buy myself a small holding somewhere scenic and warm and live out my dream of becoming a writer. I'd invest the rest so SNOOPoi has a sizable chunk of inheritence to look forward to.
No wait, maybe I'll spend the whole lot on a chocolate factory!

well, i'd pay off all my dues and my family's dues
then I'd donate like 50,000 to homeofpoi and 50,000 to glowsticking.com
then I could get into my camera hobby and buy a digital SLR (2000) and a bunch of lenses (5000)
I would sell my car (its actually pretty ok, like 6 months old now) and buy a BMW.
get some turntables so I can try spinning records (1500)
buy a crapload of glowsticks (1000)
stick the rest (about 500,000) into the bank. I'd take whatever interest I got per month and use that for buying/donating to whatever I want

I would like a miniature model of the alps constructed out of white powder, placed on a cute naked chick, sprawled across the bonnet of my new Ferrari F355.
And then I'd go harrass the people of London for "enough spare change to buy a cup of tea"

I'd buy a huge country house and start a commune - sad I know - but me and my friends have the skills to start one - we would use it as a health/ healing type of place.. children with special needs would be our ideal guests.. it's amazing what a little care and attention can do.
we would grow our own food, that wuold be my best friends job - another would look after the donkeys, as I'd buy the sactury of the old lady she works for - I would head up the massage and energy channeling side with another couple of friends..
One side on the mansion would be fully sound proof - to enable us to have lots of free parties..
Oh what a dream.. if only - one day...
Any one wanna come live with me? If so what special qualities would you bring to the gathering of people?

After the obvious and unavoidable spending spree, during which I'd buy myself a freshly restored Morris Minor, a Danelectro 59DC guitar and a metric arseload of cds and dvds along with something new and shiny to play them on, I'd buy some land (probably near Croyde in Devon) and build myself a house made from straw bales.
I'd stock it with whole loads of paint, dye and an assortment of other similar stuff, then live off the interest I'd be getting from the rest of the £million.
Actually, I'd probably go travelling a bit first, to find somewhere as near perfect as I can find to settle down, but Croyde is a good choice for now.

MisStix,
can I put my mil into your commune? I'll also bring along a couple of organic farmers, a mechanic and some healers, (me I have Reiki and massage under my belt, and am learning Bach therapies) and musics and arts types.
Or possible set up something similar as a sister project and we can all visit here and there and be a holiday haven for each other.
also part of the pennies would go to buying a big van/trailer thing so that the free parties can be taken on the road every summer to wherever they are needed most.

To the F355 requester, you couldn't get a new one as they don't make them any more. The F360 replaced it. You could get a new-to-you F355 though. And I agree, the F355 is a beautiful car.
$1 million huh? A nice amount. I'm assuming we don't have to worry about taxes for this response?
I would:
- finish my truck project just how I like.
- have a motorcycle custom built.
- go on vacation to Alaska. A cruise.
- go back to school.
- get a job somewhere nice doing something more interesting/fun than what I'm doing now.
- build a house with a nice game room.
- setup the game room with computers for LAN parties.
- Invest a bunch of it to watch it grow.
- save the rest for when the investments bomb out.

Hmmm...I guess I'd get myself some stuff. I mean, if you suddenly have a million bucks, you have to buy a new car, right? So I'd get a new car (not that my car needs replacing...in fact my car is quite nice, but hey...why not?).
I might actually move to an apartment closer to school than where I am (they're a bit more expensive).
I'd make sure I had enough put away/invested to get me through the rest of school and allow me to live a bit more comfortably in residency than most folks can afford to...
I'd buy an innercore staff, which I've been lusting after for a while...
The rest, I would give to my old co-op house at Stanford because they need the money for renovations.

Set some up in an account for my son's college.
Invest some.
Put some in the bank for interest sake.
Pay off debts.
Buy an old but nice house with land in a remote location.
Travel and bum for a bit.
Buy a high quality voice ativated system for my comp so I could "write" and do other stuff at the same time.
Design costumes and sets for other people to make for me!
Keep on writing and performing, just now I could be more discerning, and I wouldn't have to teach the writing or performing (I'm not very good at that, I don't think!)

I'd waste it in grand style!!!!
I'd buy some new toys of malcom, say one of each, a hell of a lot of kero, fie water and white gas, and post as many of you as i could afford a ticket to my place head out in to a paddock, with a giantic sound system. and have a professional crew make a film of it, i wouldnt pay them they can make money of it by selling the dvd/tape. hell yeah!
unfortunatly i dont think the rational side of my brain that craves security and certainty would let me but its a nice idea!!!

Amongst sensible investments and sizable acquisitions, I'd buy me an AC Cobra, similar to this sexy machine . Cobra Blue with white racing stipes. tan leather interior, timber dash and a small, hilly island to drive around.
My boss' friend just bought an island in the pacific. he gets to own it for 99 years. aside from eithics, HOW COOL IS THAT!?
I'd also throw the bestest psytrance party ever! handpicked participants, an exotic location and party favours galore!
