10 million. 10 years

[BrotherRool]

I'd like to give it away, it#s hard to give money away and not spend on stuff and entertainment instead, but I think if I received it in a large block without even having to work for it, then thats the situation where I might be able to give away despite weaknesses, because the money isn't real to me.

You could seriously improve the lives of a lot of people with 10 million. It would be tempting to keep some and give it out as rewards to good webcomics and the like or keep enough for a cosy life, but giving it away would be better

On boring stuff about love and romance, most likely.

And a very extravagant, overpriced, overpowered computer.

I would spend my days in the company of the one I love, playing video games and writing stories, hoping I finish them before my time is up. EDIT: Also, I'd love to visit Europe. Specifically Italy, but France and the UK as well.

Ideally, at least. I'm sure something would go wrong along the way.

 

[FamoFunk]

Very boring, but actually buy a house instead of renting, and give the rest to my children so they're sorted for life.

Maybe a bit of alcohol too, and parties!

 

[LarenzoAOG]

Create an accurate, full size replica of a Spanish Galleon, hire a crew of Old Timey sailors, sail the high seas for 10 years, from port to port, all over the world, all the while throwing out messages in bottles that have the location of the final resting place of the Ayatollah of Rock-N-Rolla hinted at in the form of a series of riddles, at the end of the 10 years I will bid my crew a fond farewell, holding an extravagant feast in the world's finest restaurant, then I will set off on my own, somehow, to some secret Island or secluded reef and scuttle my vessel, going down with the ship, as it were.

At this time the messages in the bottles will have made their rounds, and hopefully someone will have figured out the riddles, they will find the Ayatollah of Rock-N-Rolla and my dead deceased corpse, and in the captains cabin they will find a chest filled with however much left over money I had in the form of precious metals and gems, but that probably won't be much, in their rage the treasure hunters will throw the chest across the room, and they will notice somehting else fall out of the chest, pictures of smiling children, happy families, and loving couples, and they will realize that all along the real treasure was their family and friends, and that no amounts of Spanish Galleons will ever amount to the love of another human being, then they will take a look at my skeleton and notice I was clutching something in my hand, it's a photo of me and my crew, having a wonderful time at our final feast, and a tear will come to their eye.

Then they will make a movie about it, The Love Galleon.

give it back,

who in there right mind would trust someone who just has 10 million dollars in his back pockets

alternatively id ask him where he got those adventure game sized pockets.

10 Years? That's plenty of time. I'd buy the best gaming computer I could find, buy a bunch of games, probably a new TV as well.
I'd probably be able to live those 10 years with the money left over.

Dull, unambitious, and slightly sad? Yes.

Some people may say it's sad, personally I think it sounds relaxing as hell. No concerns, no worries, just you, your amazing computer and games.

Although my version also includes booze. Lots of booze.

 

[FolkLikePanda]

Have kids, tell them of all this money I have, save £5 million of it and about a few weeks before I die, pretend to turn crazy and spend it all on food that will soon be out of date.

 

[aegix drakan_v1legacy]

1) Fund the RPG my friends and I are making so it will be the best game EVER.

2) Get the most kickass gaming rig ever and get tons of games to play.

3) Live in relative comfort and simplicity (small condo, etc)

4) Make sure I have a nice chunk left over at the end to give to my family and girlfriend to help them out as well.

5) Make sure I get a witty tombstone.

6) Die semi content, but also very frustrated that I only lived to be 34.

id give 2.5 mill each to my mom and brother and 4 to my misses and use the remaining mill to enjoy myself (id go for yearly trips to the alps and finally learn to snowboard, buy myself a caterham super 7 to drive around the track i live next to(TT assen) and probably spend ludicrious ammounts of money to go cycling everywhere on my newly aquired fancy pants mountainbike.. whatevers left of my mill when i die will go to the single mom across the road from me... (dunno how she scrapes by on her allowance)

 

[Akytalusia]

split it between everyone who's supported me over the years. they deserve recompense. also, i would make sure my current support received extra to ensure maximum compensation for the next 10 years. i don't need/want anything. but if i have something to give, then that's what i'm gonna do with it.

 

[Adeptus Aspartem]

Give 9 Million to my family, use the last for myself - and try to die as happy as possible.

C'est la vie

 

[Navvan]

1. Pay off my immediate families debts.
2. Continue doing what I typically do (working towards career goals, gaming, and so forth)
3. Plenty of travel sprinkled throughout

 

[Gearhead mk2]

Set up a game studio, use the dosh to make an indie game with the story I've always wanted to tell, get it published by Sega, give the IP rights to my co-workers, give whatever money is left from the initial £10 million and some of the profits of my game to various charities, live until my illness really gets in the way of everyday life, get assisted suicide via lethal injection administered by a trained doctor, have a small funeral during which the Kingdom Hearts 2 version of Dearly Beloved will play as people are leaving.

Dull, unambitious, and slightly sad? Yes.

Nothing wrong with simple pleasures. Heck I'd probably do the same thing.. buy every game, etc I've ever wanted, get a giant house with a bunch of rooms and fly in any of my friends who'd want to help me enjoy the rest of my life all expenses paid.

Whatever I had left in my last days, I'd find some kid who reminds me of myself at that age and give it to them.

 

[Mr Companion]

I would do what I am doing now until I die, chilling out and playing videogames.
1 million to fund my interactivity, 9 million for cancer research.

 

[lechat]

My version:

Ask yourself if you're unhappy about anything in your life right now. Is it something that you have the power to change? Now, imagine your life ten years from now, only everything is exactly the same. Does that make you unhappy?

If so, imagine you are the future version of you. What would you tell yourself right now to change your life? What would you start doing differently today so that you don't end up the same, unhappy person 10 years from now?

Granted, the point of the $10 million dollar exercise and my exercise aren't the same, but it's all I got.

that ones actually much better.
wtf am i using my question for?

 

[Blackdoom]

Build a tiny house out of all of the money in front of the doctors house and then burn it down.

 

[Starik20X6]

Well, I...

1. Buy a Steam Train and drive it up and down the country.
2. Convert said Steam Train into a house.
3. Suddenly realise my dream cost more than I thought & take out a loan to help pay for it.
4. Die before I can pay back the loan.
5. My Steam Train is donated to some wacky museum and I go down as a hero before Railway fanatics.

Oi, you! Yeah you! Get out of my head!

Though you did miss a few details, such as filling entire carriages with LEGO and games.
