I would give one dollar to everyone who ever pissed me off for them to buy a personality. Trouble is, I'd still be in DEBT!

Being in debt is a good thing.

Check out the links in my signture.

I'd be boring and stick it in the bank.

You can buy some rather nice islands in the Phillipines for $500,000. Be sure the first thing to know is that some of these do have high ground, 70 meters or more and fresh water wells. 1/2 a mil for your own 60 acre island sounds like a pretty good deal to me. I think that is what I'd have to do. Spend $150,000 getting setup with earth-bermed dwelling on high ground, solar/wind power, equipment, and a couple of really good boats. Build some minimalist cottages to rent out to tourists.

Yep, I'm a hermit at heart.

One million things off the dollar menu at McDonalds.

Put it in the bank and live off the interest so I NEVER HAVE TO WORK AGAIN!

Build a house out in the middle of nowhere and disappear from society.

A nice little cottage in Cornwall for the Pisky methinks. And endless Cornish pasties and bottles of scrumpy.

I'd buy an island, that was safe from being destroyed and than put the rest of the money in the bank.
