If you had the money what would you buy or what would you do with it? im thinking realistic things now i dont mean if you became a millionaire i mean something you really want maybe a house or a car or something? if i had the money id buy a house and thats all i really want i dont think i could cope with millions if i won the lottery or something i think that would be too much for me. you may think im mad but i have though about "what if i won a million or a few millions" and i dont think id want it so i dont do the lottery.

ummmm.....yes darlin, i do think you are not the brightest crayon in the box....lol. I definitely am far from being rich. I am so greatful for what i do have however. I always wish i could get a little extra though to pay off bills, buy a house and travel. although i sumtimes think that no matter how much money one has, its never enough. there will always be something else needed or wanted. even people with a lot of money always seem to want more. I of course, wouldn't mind taking a little taste of a wealthier life, if not for me, then for my daughter.

If I had money, I would take my step dad out of the Nursing Home, and set him up with me and my family so he could be happy again, He had a stroke and gave up on life after that. I would give him that reason to live again. Don't care about anything else my money would make sure he was taken care of and happy.

If i had money i wouldn't be responding to this discussion at all i would take time to organize a new company on my own and build a game that keeps coming back to my imagination. I would help out the poor in need and keep a brief face for my family.

the main motive of earning money is not to buy things but to do something good with that money....i dont say that we should not keep any part of it but yes some part of it should always be given in charity.....thats the best aim with which you should earn money and spend it.....

money can vanish within a minute :) so why use it for useful investments..get a house of your own, things really needed. Care for your family, open a bussiness for you and for your family.

If I had the money I would put together a village for homeless youth. In my city, San Diego, California it has been estimated by the media's that there are 2,000 homeless youth walking the streets on any given day. And it has further been estimated that 50% of them are under the age of 15.

Yes I think your mad. If I had the money now I would buy my girls cars. If I ever won the lottery I could pay my bills, pay for all the college my girls are doing, buy a new house, and help out my family and maybe even adopt a family in need.

I want to have enough money so that I can go places like the grocery store and buy the things that I want to buy and not have to worry about buying what is on sale to make ends meet. I would also like to have enough to be able to walk into a store an dbuy a new pair of jeans or shoes and not have to worry about which bill I am going to pay short because I want them. I would like to be able to go out to a restraunt whenever I wanted to for dinner and not worry if it is going to impact my grocery budget for next week. I wish I had enough to decide to spend a night out on the town without having to pay for everything with a credit card. In essence I really just want enough money to not have to worry about money. The things I listed above are certainly not things that I would do or want to do everyday, but if I wanted to do them I would always have enough money to do them without worrying about how much it affects everything else. I don't want to be filthy rich, I just want to be comfortable.

I devote the rest of my life to serving God to help people. I translate the Word of God from Greek to English and I have already published THE WILL New Testament (Greek to English), GENESIS & EXODUS (Greek to English), ELEMENTS of SALVATION, The Right Way, GOD, ORIGIN, TRANSFER into PERFECTION, GREEK-ENGLISH (Grammar & Vocabulary), WORDS in THE WILL New Testament, and some others. I do not have the necessary money even to buy the ISBN and copies of my books themselves. We have also registered the Alpha Omega Seniars Intl Foundation, Inc. for senior citizens, widows, orphans, disabled, poor intellectuals, etc. but it's not yet operational because we lack funds. I donated to it THE WILL New Testament (Greek to English) which is supposed to be the main source of funds but said book is not yet generating income. If therefore I have the money, I would spend for these projects, to spread the Word of God and help people be saved, and to make the Foundation operational to directly help the beneficiaries.

I think I would like to have my own place and not have to live with my mom any more she is really critical and its like she is always mad or something she is always yelling at me. And I dont want to live with my dad. It would be nice not to have to live iwth her any more.

If i had the money i,d pay off all my bills, buy a small yet reliable car and own a small home in corpus christi texas. I'd go to college there on the campus right by the sea. Also I'd take my daughter to the museums every day and we would have a very simple and peaceful lifestyle. Something I've always wanted. (I'd also buy myself a classic car and fix it up to show off to all my new boyfriends lol) there are a few that i like. I'd take her to disneyworld and have starbucks coffee every day. We'd have all of the new appliances and electronics in the market today, and oh yea.... i'd absolutely love to have a live in nanny to help me out!!!! someone i can also confide in.

By many peoples standards, I am already wealthy. Lifetime care for my daughter will cost millions of dollars, and I expect to be able to meet that challenge. I have a great home, with three houses, stables and a good recreation area on the property. I have a car I love (see my profile). If I had money to spare, there are two frivolous purchases I dream about. A moderate one, and an extreme one. Here is the moderate one: I would like to own a Gibbs Aquada. http://www.aquada.co.uk/aquada.php The aquada is a sports car that instantly converts into a speed boat, so that it is equally home on land or water. Second, I would like a personal luxury submarine from US Submarine Company: http://www.ussubs.com/submarines/phoenix_1000.php3 At a cost of $78 million, however, it may be some time until I can consider it -- perhaps never.
