I'll get thinking on some twisted idea for you to act out for your million.

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.
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.
