Talking For 1 Million Dollars.....

..... 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?

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. 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

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