Hmmmm, well one time when I was looking at houses and took the price filters off, there was this nice estate on the lake that was a small cabin like home, with inground lap pool and another slightly smaller guest house that I would have loved to buy. But I'm not sure that the $2 million or so the seller wanted for it will ever be in my price range. But if I had more than enough money to get it, I probably would have.

I'd support a whole army of missionaries and missions organizations if I could affford to, and maybe fund a series of vacation resorts (not really resorts but just a nice get away and let us take care of everything so you can destress and have some time with each other) for missionary families. I have such great memories of the one I stayed at once during my missionary days.

But for myself, bigger house that I could host Bible studies and people in, a world tour to go back and see friends I made in my travels around the world, an Alaska tour, a carribean tour, and I like the sound of the europe river cruises so if I have piles of money why not.

Oh and a space tourist flight, if I had more money than I knew what to do with, I'd probably do one of those because space is awesome (except for the part where it tries to kill you).

So yeah if I had the money to I'd quit my job, travel a lot, and then be a professional volunteer for church and animal shelters (because what's better than playing with puppies and bunnies and kitties and other pets).

Quote from a book:
"Remember when you were a kid in Canada and the heat leaked out, and if you didn't make more fast enough you would die? Now you want to go to a place where the AIR can leak out?! No! No way!"

If I had a incredible sum of cash. I would use it for revenge every penny. Most of my life until Obama and the spike of gas prices during his admin. Delivery was free when pizza companies started charging delivery cost it was relayed as to be temp until gas prices went down. They went down and they never returned to free delivery.

So if I had the cash I would build multiple pizza places across the states in various cities. Offer free delivery and make them have to compete because it still chaps me that when gas prices went down and they never returned to free delivery. So I would use the money to offer free delivery get some revenge.........LOL

Toss the top 10% in God's account. Toss the rest in the retirement account and the savings accounts.

Not much I really want. I got a full life.
There's a reason I don't play the lottery and not just because I think it's a waste of money. It's in case I've angered God enough that He'd make me win. My life would be over.

..."I'd go downtown
And buy a Mercury or two"

Sorry Alan, but my tastes run a bit different. :p

What would you do if you had the money for it? Money can't buy happiness, but it can buy a lot of other stuff. What is the one thing it CAN buy that you would get if you could?

An Alaska cruise? Carribean perhaps? A pub crawl in Ireland? A certain furniture set that would look perfect in your living room? Maybe a certain music keyboard?
Spiritual aid (overseas missionaries, e.g.), and political activism, supporting traditionalists and constitutionalists.

Retirement. Immediately. Sick of the stresses of work.
