If you had a milion dollars....

it wouldn't be enough. I'd still be out robbin' armored trucks.

A house on unincorporated and easily defendable land somewhere reasonable close to Laughlin or Las Vegas complete with a sterling motor generator and a water condenser among other luxuries- self sufficient.

A small personal armory consisting of several high calliber revolvers, a few shotguns, an M-14, an AR-15, and a barret .50cal.

A decent wardobe- mostly jeans and T-shirts are my style really, so most of the money there goes into jackets, boots, hats, etc, and even then it's not a millionaire's wardrobe really.

Then cars... I'd like to buy old cars, fix em up, and sell em for a living afterwards, and the remainder of my million makes more than enough to get everything I need to do a respectable job of it.

Eventually I'd want a small collection of my own of course, all restored personally.

'66 Chevelle
'74 Camaro RT (I have a specific VIN# in mind- my grandpa fixed it up for my mom)
'83 Camaro (again specific VIN- my first car)
'86 Firebird (the anniversary edition that came with a turbo-charged 3.8L buick V6)
'94 Ford F-150 (I always wanted to see what could be done to rod out that ugly but very reliable big block 6 in my truck)

and something that sucks slightly less gas... probably a Harley FXR.

I would get it changed into GBP!

£ FTW!

what did you just say?

I thought you said you were Jesus? Surely Jesus knows what I said?!

*Ahem*
To put it another way, I would get it converted into GBP (Great British Pounds - £), I can't use Dollars here, this is England!

Then, I said, '£ FTW!', which means, English Pound (£) FOR THE WIN!

Capiche?

No way. Even if you could get 5% compounded yearly you are looking at $35k a year TOPS after taxes.

Guess what? Mortgage rates are 6.5% or more, thats 1.5% HIGHER than any interest you would be earning with that money in the bank. Soooo...you would be effectively earning 1.5% MORE (and income tax free) by putting that into buying a home outright and not having that loan.

You just cant live off the interest of $1 million dollars anymore. Gone are the days of 7-11% interest rates from any account that you could draw from at will.

Best to buy a home and skip intetrest payments on that loan.
