Money with a catch... (a fantasy)

Aren’t those flights to space going to be like 200k? Because that’s about what I’m thinking right now. Myself, my dad and the two kids.

With the rest a month long vacation, first class, through Africa and a few other places with my brother and sister and kids.

Oh, and if there’s money left over, a ball pit in the basement. The entire basement.

I’d buy a beautiful old house that needs some TLC and happily spend a few years fixing it up. A million dollars should about cover the bill!

I assume fixing up the old house would include adding a ball pit?? :wink:

A really great sports car for my husband, who has always wanted one. Probably $150K there. Then we’ll need a farm, around 50 acres, upon which we will build our house, a nice garage for the husband to put the car in, and a beautiful barn for me to keep the horses I’m buying with the leftover money. That should do it.

Let’s see, definitely travel some - I’d want to visit Chicago, New York, Paris, and Rome, maybe more.

Quit my job, devote more time to writing, branch out my coding interests on the side and see if I can develop anything that looks marketable.

Apply for an MFA program or some other writing school.

Oooh, forgot- I’d buy my wife a ride on the Vomit Comet. She’s been dying to do that since we saw the “making of” documentary for Apollo 13.
And a ball pit.

Free WoW (or EveOnline) gametime cards for the first 75,000 people to ask for them.

Something impractical and crazy?

I’d buy an hour of primetime on network TV and say the most vulgar and obscene things I can think of and use the rest of the money to pay off the fine.
