..... would you stop eating chocolate for the rest of your life?

I have thought hard, have come to an answer which is no. There is no way in hell I could.. I'd rather be minus the million and keep the Mars bar, than without!

What about you boys? :mrgreen:

Apparently my chocolate appetite is for sale, hell, I would definitely let it go for even $100,000 USD. Maybe even $10,000. :)

Hmm, maybe I should be taking that in Euro instead. ;)

It'd be hard to get used to as chocolate seems to lots of places, but I'd definitely go for it. I'd buy a house with some decent parking right away and then some 3000 dollar cars to park around it. The rest I could invest etc.

It's actually not so hard to go without sweets once you get used to it. Anyway, I'm not getting a million dollars so I'll go have a chocolate chip cookie and some ice cream when I get home.

Why the $3000 cars? :?: :-)

Yes, because there is no way you can effectively enforce the no-chocolate rule. :P In any case, I'm not really a sweet-tooth.

I love cheap cars. Maybe I'd break the bank and get a couple of 5k or even 8k ones.

-You don't have to worry about putting the first scratch on them
-They're fun to fix up
-Should something go wrong, they're easier to replace
-getting stuff cheap is fun, especially when it's comparable to and competitive with similar new products
-I'd have to find nicer parking for new cars (there's only so much garage space)
-most 3k (performance) cars can't depreciate too much further so (if they don't cost a ton to repair) they're a pretty good investment

no never... chocolate is way too good to be passed. i guess chocolate around here in germany switzerland cannot be compared to other chocolate in the world.

For "just" one million, no. But for 10+ I would seriously think about it.

This reminded me of a house I saw, if I find the pic I will post it here. There was an *ahem* Aboriginal in British Columbia who won a 13 million lottery. Previous house was a shack about 30X20, but as it was free from gov't he decided to keep it and add an addition, making it a rather large shack. But the workers were asking more money than he could afford so its only have done. Another problem, and by far the more fetching one is that when you drive by his house all you see are his cars. He bought over 200 cars, mostly junkers and one Lambo (Diablo) and they all sit around wreck on his lawn, except the Lambo. So now he has a lawn of cars. Too bad he spent it all and is dirt poor again. But alteast the cars prevent him from having to mow the lawn so he doesnt have to keep putting gas in his ride-on... Man when I saw that I knew it would be worthy of a pic and one day that pic would come in handy. I'll see if I can find it.

Oh and to answer your post....

For a Mill, maybe, I would have to asses the financial stability and market certainty to evaluate the real value of $1 million. If it was two years ago then I would say certainly. But because recession is on the outlook I would be more timid. Then again in 2 years $1 million, if inflation isn't too high, could buy a few exotics and still fill the bank account. How would one police such a sale anyway?

Inflation devalues your dollar. But who said anything about USD? ;-)
Try converting into Euro's to protect yourself from Mr. Inflation that seems to be paying a rather torris visit to the U.S.A for the forseeable future.. Inflation is a problem to your $ when the rate is greater than real interest rates. Buy gold, or oil.
