I've seen places where the aquarium takes up a whole wall. In fact, it is the wall. Kind of cool.

Sorta like this?

Not at all. The pic you put up is a lot better though. WOW!

Yep it is the peak of awesomeness isn't it? My dream house.

a reply to: awareness10

it is a hotel room in Dubai or Abudabi or somwhere over there.

See how those arabs spend all that oil money by artificially inflating the price of oil as they do and in like all our goods are priced accordingly which means all prices are artificially inflated.

Sorry, I got off topic a little there. back to the 50 milion wishing well.

Invest 30 Million: Stocks, Real Estate, Business

Enjoy 10 Million: Car, House, Vacation

Family 10 Million: Parents, Siblings and relatives that cared when we were moneyless, screw the "surprise relatives".

One can Dream.....

Yes you're right about the artificial inflation, it's been going on for aeons. It's hard to even begin to imagine what the next five flipping years will be like. However on a better note, what we focus on changes 'in scientific terms' as well as what we think. So maybe it's really all up to us to change what we don't want. Say like, if we want all those dirty nasty horrible people with too much money mucking up our lives, we can imagine them say, melting or imploding into nothingness something like that you know, then disappearing. I do it often, it works on a level i can't see with my eyes but is scientifically been proven to do something. Starring at a picture or an object changes the way the atoms move and function it wakes them up so to speak on a molecular level.Anything is possible in dream land.

I'd invest half in gold, and the other half I would either start a business, buy out an existing business, or both.

$50mil will buy me an aweful lot of pinwheels and beer.

Just sayin'

I'd self destruct.

If not from a faulty parachute or a messed up cliff dive,
it would be something else crazy like that.

Set up an orang utang sanctuary..

I'd never tell a single soul....


Ever...

I'd do a lot with the money:

1) I'd pay off all our family debt.
2) I'd design, plan, and build a self-sufficient home, on a small secluded lake, but with other water access.
3) While the home is being built, I'd travel a lot with the wife (with other family joining here and there).
4) I'd pay for both stepkids to go to the school of their choice, and a trust fund for each.
5) I'd buy my mom a nice house and set her up with a trust fund to sustain her.
6) I'd give some seed money to friends so they could follow their own dreams (whether starting a new business, or addition to their home, etc.)
7) I'd have a lot of the money working to just make more money.
8) Get a nice little boat, a nice truck to pull it with.
9) New cars for the family, but nothing too crazy.
10) Nice clothes, a lot of nice suits.
11) I'd get in shape, and get some minor cosmetic stuff done (like better hair, some dental stuff).
