ECN Forum Forums General Topics of the Trade General Discussion Area If you hit the lotto jackpot...

I would do the normal things buy my parents a crusing bus. bullet prof my jeep. But I would also go to work every day just to piss off my bosses and co workers, And giggle like a school girl when they talk behind my back, and say why is he still here. you know I would have a job for ever. the people who dont need a job will not get fired. but the people who need it for there faimly get the ax.

I would not do anything different than I do now..except I'd be doing it in San Diego..oh and maybe driving a Bentley.

Seriously tho I would like to donate my skills to the needy..especially elderly people whose homes are falling apart and they can't afford to fix them.

For a start I wouldn't be hanging around here!.



Just kidding guys,
The mere thought of winning anything, let alone money, seems to be a fair stretch at the moment.
My father told me when I was young that I was going to have to work for a living, so I guess he meant I wasn't going to be a lawyer.
I'm glad I do what I do, even if the hours are rediculous, I'm proud that I earn my paycheck.
If I came into money, I wouldn't know what to do with it, however the SPCA springs to mind.
I don't play the lotteries, some people over here swear by them, and end up poorer in the hope of hitting the jackpot.

Mike, I don't play them until they get up to a 100mill or so. And I consider that $20 a donation to the winner.

However, I am thinking about responding to all these nigerian e-mails. Maybe I am a long lost kin of the guy that just died in the plane accident. You never know.....

I'd sit at home and work out my interest!

"Let's see, interest on $100 million at 5%, that's 5 million a year, that's $96,000 a week, which is $13,700 a day. Why! That's $570 an hour!

Darling! We can afford an electrician!!"

If I had the right amount of money, I'd probably spring up a mini "Levittown" of quick and easy to build/affordable to buy homes, compared to the McMansions Toll Brothers puts up these days. Anyone want one? ECN Members get a discount!

We have already worked on some Habitat homes but that is so bogged down in red tape and politics I think we would rather just build something on our own and give it to a worthy family who can't afford a house.
Maybe require some token payment, simply because people don't value things that are totally free.
