I Give You A 1 Million Dollar Credit Card, But...

Anything you buy has to be returned in a year...
House, car, etc etc.. It's not just what you would buy, but what would you do? What would your average day be like? I just saw a movie with Gene Hackman who searches fifteen years, finds a gold mine, but then his life is empty. He and his family. And he is suspicious of everyone and everything; probably thinking everyone has some ulterior motive.
Before we get silly, if you eat food, obviously you don't have to puke it up.
You can't buy things for people on this credit card and get cash for it.
How would you spend it? What would you do?
Hopefully not end up like most lottery winners who go broke and lose everyone they love.

I would buy gold and silver and invest it. At the end of the year I would be happy to return the million. :-)

@PinkFloydFan Yes, I would have no trouble returning the million in gold and silver I bought. But I would be keeping the interest.

I would buy a fleet of rental cars. I would lease them out for a year and then return the cars after a year. You would have everything returned and I would not be selling anything to anyone else or buying gifts in exchange for cash.
An average new car costs 38k and an average lease is 467 a month, my earning potential is 25 cars times 467 a month for 12 months or just over 140k. Not bad.
I believe I've found the loophole in your plan lol.

Honest?
I would bank it for an entire year. Interest rates are pathetic right now but a small amount could be gained.
If everything had to be returned, I wouldn't spend more than I could pay back. I would be better off not spending any of it.
If I used money to pay bills or make payments, the 1M would be short that amount at the end of the year.

Out of curiosity, what would you do with the money? (This was part of my reason for "return" -- just wanting to see how people would spend a limited amount of money)

That's such a tricky question !! I think if I should return everything I buy, I'd buy services nit objects.
Like flights, hotel rooms, get someone to cook for me and clean for me at home.. it's not much but it's going to make life a bit better for me.
Also, maybe invest in stock.

This can be considered as a start- up capital for investment , there are many ways to multiply , real estate is one of the most profitable options , invest in an apartment in a new house , make repairs and sell more expensive , for example , it is certainly not worth spending money thoughtlessly

You should talk to your Agent. This might be a suitable basis for a reboot of The Millionaire (It's also very similar to Brewster's Millions). With budgets the way they are today, you could even do it for real as a game show or reality series.
As for me, $1 million is too limiting, so I'm going to edit your offer to $5 million because there's a yacht in the Mediterranean that can be rented for $700,000 a week. Plus fuel, food, liquor, etc. If I remember right, it can accommodate 14 people.
I would rent it for 2 weeks, that's $1.4 million. I would invite 13 people and we would have a great time for 2 weeks cruising around the Med. With airfares and incidentals, the total should come to $5 million, give or take a few dollars.
At the end, I wouldn't have anything to give back to you but I would have a lot of great memories.
