If you suddenly came into BIG $$$'s

[Groover]

Vegas trip with a few of my best mates, then buy a good house and live off the interest with the rest (if i could)

[Gingernuts]

Besides the usual buy a nice house, go on a holiday, donate to charity, invest the rest stuff......

......if money was absolutely no object, I would:

1. Buy a decent size property and build a 'man-shed' big enough to house about a dozen cars, plus a fully kitted out bar area (like a pub - not just a backyarder).
2. Get involved in a V8 Supercar outfit and maybe give a bit of racing a crack myself.
3. Build a huge indoor/outdoor lawn bowling facility like the ones in the eastern states (with a restaurant, accomodation, shop etc) and run it as a hobby business.
4. Get one of those swanky corporate boxes at Footy Park.
5. Get into writing without the pressure of it having to be a meal ticket.

I'd buy a farm and start breeding Boxer Dogs and have about 20 myself and let them run free and go crazy.

[Psyber]

I did, thanks to my sister who was 15 years older than me - depending on your definition of "BIG".
I'd always had fantasies about what I'd do, but the reality was subtly different, and less flashy.

I retired and planned a long overseas trip, and to pay off the house in Melbourne.
Then my wife died suddenly just before we were due to book the trip.
So, I sold up there, paid cash for a house here, and took a trip to Kruger National Park.
This year I'm off to the UK for a month.

However, apart from the fact that I'm free to do whatever I want, not a lot has changed.
I decided against buying the Cayman S I looked at last year, as it doesn't really out-perform my old Audi S2.
I don't think the R8 justifies the cost either, though I may be tempted if I were working and could let the ATO help pay for it rather than give them the money I earned.

I am considering buying a second property in the UK, and living in endless Summer, while I see Europe thoroughly.
I have an old school friend who is already doing that.

I've continued my usual pattern of regular donations to charity, though perhaps they have been a little bigger.
[Their big score will be in my will when I don't need it any more.]

There's a couple of people that do that down here in Victor except the opposite way (ie Poms who come and live in Victor Harbor every English winter). That would be an awesome idea.

1st i would build a roof over the portland footy club oval so it would actually be the Thunder Dome
2nd hire some genius to create a hover board ala the one michael J Fox has in back to the future
3rd build a 30 bedroom mansion for me and my mates to leave in have an endless supply of kegs and maides to cook clean and serve beers and of the night be our sex slaves

[dedja]

... and maides to cook clean and serve beers and of the night be our sex slaves

No amount of money could buy that ...

yeah but regardless of how ugly you are, what a pig you were, there still would be plenty of gold diggers willing to do the right thing by you

Just look at Hugh Hefner

[Sojourner]

I would load up my Ford Zephyr onto a Plane and have it flown to West Coast Customs in the US and have it given the full MTV style treatment and flown back to go cruising with on the Gold Coast!

HAHAHAHAHA...


Sod off.

[JK]

Actually, come to think of it I'd buy Johnathon Brown, Ablett Jnr, Joel Sellwood, Buddy & co. and see if that would be enough to end Central's dominance

[dedja]

Maybe some towards the clubroom redevelopment Spermy so that you have somewhere to celebrate?
