...let's say 50 million dollars, what material thing would you buy to make you feel like you've lived life to the fullest?

Maybe i'd buy myself the best computer with the best internet connection. I don't smoke and drink so going out to party at night would be useless. Social life? Well i can buy myself a private jet then meet up with friends i've met online. Maybe that's more than enough for people NOT to think of me as a loser and that would prevent them from telling me "get a life" because really, life is not about going out meeting people to make a statement, life is simply doing what you enjoy most.

Nope, I'm the party angel. I don't drink, I don't smoke. If I drink, I'd settle for a few sips not to the extent of getting drunk because this angel might turn out to be the fallen kind. I don't know, I haven't gone that far to even know.

Nu-uh, I never said, even once, or even thought of you as a loser. Hey, bring that jet over here and we'll go on tour. What do you think? At least if there are two non-smoking, and non-drinking losers out there, that would mean, I've got a partner!

so you love singing? I love singing. But I'm kinda shy around a lot of people. If I had a videoke set, I'd hide it in my room and sing all day long without anyone grabbing the mic from me. hehehehe. very selfish!

wow, 50 million is alot. If I get this sum of money, first of all I will be happy. Then, I will donate some money to charity organization, old folks home and etc. Old saying, you must do good when you are capable of doing it. So, donation is my first priorty. Secondly, I will allocate a sum of money for my mother. I think its time for her to retire and enjoy her life. Maybe plan her some vacation too. After that I will invest on property. Property is a must because it a good investment. Good return and low risk. Property also generate passive income to you if you rent the property for business and etc. Beside for generate income, I will buy some bunglow for my own use. Maybe in several places. So my life will not bored and can move from place to place without worring where to stay. When i secure my passive income, let say 50K monthly; I will plan for my holiday. I will visit the world. I will take my time to visit all the places. Hopefully not too long. At last, this is my final plan. To get marry and build my own family. My own happy family will be my most important dream of all. This is what I planned if I have a large sum of money. Happy mylotting!!!

I probably wouldn't buy what I want but I'd have it built - I want a public school :D Something very efficient and something made with the highest quality so it would last more than our lifetimes. And then I want to make sure that I have teachers so I would most probably sponsor some education-majored teachers in their studies and have them teach in my school for a couple of years. Thanks fort the response in my discussion!

Yes, that's a very good idea. People need to place emphasis on education. It's something that we can treasure for a lifetime. Thanks and you're welcome as well.

Furniture for my mom! New beds, a couch, a coffee table. She's not been able to afford it. Our whole life we've had hand me down everything, she couldn't even afford a coffee table. =/

oh, the poor thing. But would you wait for that amount of money to come before you'd try to supply her furniture needs? Like have you tried saving lately for that cause? I'd like to know because like you, i too dream of giving something for the family but I just don't have the means. I mean, the intention is there. The cash isn't. :-(

Well that is an awful lot of money. I would probably buy a lot and build a big building. From there I will start an educational and livelihood program for children who are in the street to keep them out of the street so that they will have a good future. It will be the greatest fullfillment of my life to see even just one child in the street become a professional someday through my help. Of course with lots of money, I will bring my family on a tour and perhaps see the world. As you can see, in my kind of job, I have travelled to some places out of the country but have never brought my wife and child considering the cost. It would be great to bring them along for a tour.

I think I would have to do something charitable with most of that money. I think most of it would go towards some kind of foundation. I think I would most likely start my own foundation that would have to do with helping people in some way. I think it would be a lot better to put most of the money towards some type of charitable cause because having a lot of money to throw around will just draw attention to oneself and it would not really make me a lot happier.

50 million dollars , WOW It's too much for me right now. I suppose I will travel around the world and have some fun. With 50 million, I don't think I will ever need to work again. I will enjoy my life. I don't enjoying buying thing. Frankly what material thing is really that great? Brand stuff, sport cars ? I just want to be free to enjoy my life

I would pay it on my bills as far as it would go. No seriously, I would pay my bills but I have other things to do with it, too I would pay for my daughters house to get her out from under this mortgage she can't afford. Then I would but my son a house and a garage so he could do the work he liked without worrying about his family. Also that way I could get us all in one place so I could watch all my grand children grow up.
