Heck, it wont even buy you 2 houses.
.

Don't be silly, Auckland isn't just Herne Bay.
The one in street back of me sold at auction last week for $480,000.

The "move out of Akld" thing....we did that. I can say that housing is the only thing that was cheaper.
Rates, petrol, power....meh.
Food - couldn't believe the outrageous cost of food there.

Hopefully they'd both be good . ;)

I'd quit work, try to stash the money in a variety of investments where it earns a passive income, but with enough diversity not to lose the lot when a bank goes under, or the stock market goes kaput .

I'd maybe sell up to live somewhere cheaper, to spin the money out longer, or get into a small retirement type home to see my days out from .

I'd destroy the alarm clock . Smash it, burn it, send it to hell, and dance on its grave .

I'd stop shaving, or shave only once the beard gets itchy (about fortnightly) .

I'd get the most bitchin' graphics card going, and a sh-- load of RAM .

My current dream is to do a very slow tour of NZ in a camper . There's a part of me that wants to shake off the shackles and be of no fixed abode, for an undetermined duration .

I'd abandon all remnants of being PC and I'd speak my mind .

And I'd do my best to see that the taxmans take of what was left was minimised . Those bastards try to drain the fun out of everything .



Possibly a better question is what WOULDN"T you do if you had a million?

I wouldn't get a bigger car
I wouldn't get a bigger TV
I wouldn't get a bigger house
I probably wouldn't get a pool
I probably wouldn't get a bach (global sea level rise might see my inland house have sea views anyway)
I probably wouldn't do loads of overseas travel
I wouldn't try to change the wealth with Lotto or casinos
I wouldn't touch illicit drugs

1402517 2015-06-12 09:30:00 Pretty sad if you have to pay for that

There are NO free lunches! Sex and female companionship always has a price. For some its Cash, others Marriage, there is always an agenda. Some people prefer Golf or some other sport.
One million would not be enough, if I got more I would buy a house for my Lady friend and her kids, pay off my sons' mortgages. I would enjoy being cared for by a grateful female half my age. Probably die with a smile on my face :)

1402518 2015-06-12 15:24:00 I'd build affordable Single Board Computers and ensure every kid here has one. I spend the rest on improving our schools, library and courses and aim to achieve free internet for everyone in this town.

Cheers,
