What to do with 1.75 million CAD by ipab on 09-22-2004 at 03:33 AM

i have a new mandatory course that i have to take which is called Planning 10 (its supposed to help to set our goals for the future etc)

any way, one of my assignments is that i have 1.75 million and i have to spend it to the last dollar, so i was wondering what ideas u guys have

some things that i thought of were:
a castle, sum nice cars, paying for my schooling (university), and ______
the remailing i will give to charity :D

it would be nice if u guys helped me out a little here,
maybe sum links would be nice :D or a list

thanks a lot :D

your seroiusly asking that question :/ And people, we are talking about 1.75 million, not 175,000. Those things are not going to make a dent in that money where I live.

dang, if I had that much, it would be gone before you could say "Spend it all"

:D :D :D :D :D

Things like 100's of the best laptops and software and games to go with them.
The best, aweomse TV and sterio system (surround sound) availble on the face of the earth.
A mansion in *country of choice*
50 maids and butlers
A life times supply of chocolate, coke, ice cream, and Fast internet (jetstrem, broadband etc)

Im sure you can find 100000000000000000000000000's of things you would like to buy. Start with things you have always wanted then go through each room and find thing you would like in them, then  think outside the house, then think world (trips, holidays etc) then think poor people, then family then friends, then the rich (get into an gentleman club ;) )

The possibliy is endless

I dont think multipule items is the answer because if the course is on how to set goals and plan thier probly looking for u to say things that will benefit you in the future... If i had 1.75m ofcourse id be off buying ferraris and lambroghinis, mansions and thousands of PC's, home theaters in every room and all the latest technology but thats probly not the answer thier looking for..

this was supposed to be a "fun" project, and they dont care wut we do with it

Buy heaps, then donate the exact amount remaining to charity.  See?  You used it all, down to the last dollar.


RE: What to do with 1.75 million CAD by Sunshine on 09-22-2004 at 09:58 AM

I always thought saving was a very good thing to do, so I don't really get the course :mipdodgy:

Think: what do I really need, and really want? Then buy all you need, and about half you want. Donate the rest to charity. Money and gadgets don't make you happy ;)
RE: What to do with 1.75 million CAD by .blade// on 09-22-2004 at 03:03 PM

Spend 5% on Beer :)
Then, invite some (a lot of) friends over and have a MASSIVE lanparty :D

EDIT: forgot the beer, oops! not a lanprty without beer!


And where, may U ask, are you planning to put $1,000,000 of computers and network equipment if you haven't spent any money on a house/garage? :P

RE: What to do with 1.75 million CAD by ipab on 09-22-2004 at 07:35 PM

so far i have 2 mansions im gona post up a doc and u guys can add to it :P


most of u guys are missing the whole point , this is supposed to be "fun" and they arent judging us on what we buy, just that i want things to be reasonable, maybe like paying for University in there too.

i like ur ideas fraisie and i went with them ;)

edit, file's too big, so ill post it as an external link
