If I Had A Million Dollars....... Empty If I Had A Million Dollars.......

Post by Rubyrain Tue Jul 28, 2009 4:24 am

Inspired by gepi's "Na si wa wu ji ba ban".

If you had a million dollars, what would you wannna do or buy?

For me, I would want to get my own apartment, furnish it the way I like it, and buy lots and lots of books to build my own personal library. Then invest the rest and earn MORE millions. xP

And laptops, mp3s, latest handphones, so and so, no need to say lah. LOL. My biggest dream is still to have my own library though.

How 'bout you guys? Eh~ No offense, but please don't say retarded things like "I'm gonna empty everything into the taiko machine", cuz I don't think anyone will ever do that luh~ Heh hehs.

LOL... Ok, for me

Mazda RX-8 (2009/RX-7 Frame Edition), With Hinagiku decals all over.
Alienware computer, or I can build one on my own. i7 extreme and 3x GTX 295/4970. Enough to play anything.
More Hinagiku merchandises.
A full drum set
My room equipped with 7.1 surround sound, all over, bottom, top, left, right, and a 70'+ HDTV 16:10
Soundproof room so no sound will leak.

Total cost incurred up till now = around ~$300k.

The rest? $600k into fixed interest, $100k into compound interest. Probably leaving $250k for retirement.

Interesting discussion Smile Let's see...

1. ~300k to repay my dad's housing loan
2. 500k for my future flat - includes housing loan, renovations (I want a sound-proof room too!), furniture (including luxury items like an authentic taiko drum, for instance) etc
3. 50k for a car - enough to get around, nothing too fanciful
4. 50k for investment
5. Remainder goes into savings

I don't think enough but for the fun of it, not in any order:


1) Buy a land, build bungalow, furnish it with nice garden, decorate a nice kitchen for somebody to use it with all the utensils needed for food. Kapibara decorations is a must. Kapibara plushies, Kapibara-designed food, Kapibara bed, Kapibara pillow, Kapibara.. well, you get the idea.. xD

2) A big room dedicated to musical instruments (Portable grand, strings, woodwinds, drums, brass, those which i play before etc) & hire people to play for me for tea time.

3) An enormous room for taiko game with all taiko machines and merchandise. Plus a music studio.

4) Buy a personal plane, a sports car, a luxurious car (with those dark windows), a scooter.

5) Purchase an island. Build theme park, different resorts, hotels, apartments, and rent it out. Investments.

6) Build a good music school for the poor who wants to have a chance to learn music but can't.

7) Go for music studies, have the best private professors/teachers/tutor to teach, mentor me in different instruments i'll like to try. And then play music for the rest of my life without worrying i have nothing to eat.

8 ) Build a home, help out the poor who really needs a shelter and something to eat.

9) Build an animal's heaven, protected reserve, etc to protect endangered,wildlife and marine animals.

10) and the list goes on....

I guess 100 Trillion's not enough too. Haha

Post by kralos Tue Aug 04, 2009 5:12 am

1 million? too easy.

*300 thousand would go into investments, real estate, and stocks.
*100 thousand into a savings account for my niece's education, so she can go to any college home or abroad that she wants to (she's in kidergarten right now haha)
*100 thousand to go study abroad in japan and get a master's degree, including living expenses
*Cars: (about 160 thousand)
  • Weekends: 2010 Nissan GT-R w/premium package, super silver
  • Everyday drive: 2010 Audi A4 S-line, black
  • Set some money aside to pay for insurance for about 5 years

*New work equipment: (5 thousand)
  • Sager/Asus laptop. 15-16" 1920x1080 screen, intel T9900 core 2 duo 3.06 ghz, 1 gb nVidia GeForce GTX 260M, 8 gb ram, 320 gb 7200 rpm disc, 4x blu-ray writer, Windows 7
  • Wacom Intuos4 XL tablet
  • Logitech MX Revolution mouse
  • Optimus Maximus OLED keys keyboard (for photoshop, illustrator, shortcuts and multiple languages)
  • 1 TB external HDD

*New photo equipment (between 15-20 thousand)
  • Nikon D300s w/18-55mm lens
  • 55-200mm zoom lens
  • 70-300 mm zoom lens
  • 10-24mm wide-angle zoom lens
  • 105mm macro lens
  • 28mm wide-angle lens
  • 10.5 mm fisheye lens
  • Lensbaby lenses
  • Accesories, tripod, flashes, batteries and filters

*40 thousand dollars should be able to get me all the tattoos, piercings and body mods I could ever want from any artist on the planet.
*50 thousand dollars to travel around the world, specially around asia and europe
*100 thousand not exactly for charity, but i'd like to start a donation program were i can donate computers for schools and provide basic internet and salary for teachers for computer as well as english, so more kids around here can get some education above the basic level that is provided by the government here in Mexico. I think education is the most important factor in equalizing society and the only way Mexico can work out of the slump it's in is with educated, hard workers.
*The rest will go into random stuff like an electric guitar, new wardrobe, new phone, etc. and then i'll put everything a savings account, where I can use it for emergencies, but stuff for school or work when needed, or to put more capital into my investments. A while later, if investments are doing well, i'd probably look into moving out of Mexico, i'd probably look into buying an apartment in the States or japan by then. Once i have a place, i'd get crap like DDR/Taiko/beatmania machines, more cars (Ferrari, Koenigsegg, Lambo, SSC, Rolls.. i'm looking at all you guys), etc., haha.
