What would you splurge on if you won the lottery?

[summers]

So let's say you won the lottery. At least a couple million dollars. What would you splurge on? I'll start:
Mclaren Senna GTR


Ducati V4 Superleggera


Trek Émonda SLR 9 Disc eTap


Tanning Booth for my house:


Barrett 82A1 50 cal rifle

A house, paying off my debts, charity, the obvious ones... Admittedly, there's also a small amount of plastic surgery I'd like to get done.

If you're planning on ctb, why not rack up tons of debt. If I won the lottery, I want to owe a couple million in credit card debt when I die. Also, I'm not buying any houses outright, I'm taking 50 years mortgages on mine.

I'm not suicidal at the moment. CTB is plan B. I guess I'm a bit irrational in that debt makes me anxious. I understand in theory that having debt is just part of being an adult when you don't have rich parents willing to pay for your car or college payments... I just have yet to fully comprehend it, I guess. My nearly 3k in student loan debt already feels like a lot despite it being basically nothing compared to other peoples'. I'm glad you don't have the same silly thought process, though.

 

[Bigpink]

Buy a place of my own, tasteful furnishings, not much else really, when lockdown lifts here spend time in cinemas, theatre, restaurants

 

[lofticries]

Pay all my parents debts. Get them nice houses and cars. Give them money for their retirement funds. Become a wanderer and travel the world. Wear nice clothes and eat nice food. Concerts, european football games (I wanna go to the next world cup), anime conventions, and amusement parks galore.

 

[Makko]

I'd get one of those upcoming space tours. I really want to visit space.

I was thinking about this for several hours yesterday. What I would like to buy/experience, nothing comes up.

You can come to space with me and jump from there. Won't even have worry how you land or anything.

Idiots

Please stop

[Dr Iron Arc]

I'd buy two houses, one for myself and one for my autistic sister to live in. I'd also hire someone to deal with her 24/7 so I wouldn't have to.

Then I'd buy a building in a prime location where I can install tons of Smash Ultimate setups to bring some of my friends over and just play Smash all day. Maybe I'd try to find ways to make that venue make money and use my ill-gotten business degree for once like making it serve milk tea, hosting tournaments, and charge non-friends of mine to use the space. If by some miracle it's actually profitable, then I could actually see myself retiring just to play Smash all day. I wouldn't even try to be a top player or anything.

After that if I have money left over I'd spend it on Gacha games and maybe try some stocks. If I still have more after that then I'd likely keep it to spend on food and gas (which I already consume a hefty budget for).

Obviously all this is assuming things go back to normal and the pandemic becomes a thing of the past.

LMAOOOO, all those fucking screens, I'd just rip them off, annoying and disgusting. Looks so uncomfortable to use.

 

[Makko]

Shit happened for real haha:

I'm super jealous.

 

[Imaginos]

Pay the rest of the house off (or move to a better one), pay some pretty girl to be my Misaki-esque life coach (although maybe not, I don't know), buy a shotgun for suicide. Just random stuff like that basically. Then give the rest to my mom, I guess. There's really not much else I could think to use it for so, fuck it, she can have it. If someone ever tried to bribe me with a billion dollars, or something like that, I'd take a couple million of it and then either burn or donate the rest. This assumes I'd be living on my own and would even want the couple million to begin with.

 

[LunarPyotr]

I would most likely buy a UAZ Hunter (aka. the Russian Hummer H1), donate some of it to Free Software Foundation + SS, buy some laptop with an Ryzen 5 CPU where I would install Linux on and probably I would start a new life in a different country and disconnect almost from anyone except for my friend.

Sure, this most likely wouldn't cure my depression or prevent me from killing myself at some point but I would ditch some toxic people and live a peaceful life.
Maybe I'll finally find my soulmate, maybe I open a repair shop in that country, maybe I'll get killed by an assassin because I upset someone or maybe I'll get kidnapped by the FBI.. No one knows and life isn't a game where you can just lookup online for an individual and unique walkthrough guide

 

[Apathy79]

I don't think it would change my life too much outwardly. I'd enjoy the security of knowing I never have to work. I'd buy the house I'm renting, buy my parents a house to retire in, buy a luxury car, help out some close friends and family with any money issues, invest most of the rest, and keep living like I am now. The main difference would be how I travel but I still don't think I'd do it too much. Every day life I think would carry on almost exactly the same.

 

[killedbypsychiatry]

money to my parents/family, charity, NGOs, maybe some trips with my family before ctb, and Pegasos & trip to Switzerland.

 

[CatabolicSeed]

Donating to people's gofundmes would be my first go-to, but as for stuff for myself, probably buy one of those huge fancy cat towers for my cats!

 

[summers]

Wow, ss members are so altruistic...

 

[Makko]

It's easy to be generous with money you don't have.

 

[Hennessy]

I would retire. And get a cat.

 

[WornOutLife]

I would move to Japan, have some nice cars, the biggest manga collection in the world, some surgeries to be slimmer, a beautiful cruise, a big house, throw parties everyday and spend the rest of my days on my super computer and gaming consoles lol.

The sad part is that I know I'd still be suicidal.

 

[Inkling]

I'd give my parents some money so they could live comfortably without me around. I'd buy my own house and really splurge on the amount of land around it, most of my town's landscape has become very samey because everyone grows the same tree for profit, so I'd like to have this big patch of land with a lot of chestnut trees, different citrus trees, and cherry blossoms. Maybe some sort of garden area too, to grow different types of vegetables/fruits to see if growing my own food would make cooking a bit more fun, if it ended upt being too much effort, I'd replace with a lake or something. I'd like a workshop too, and a large office/library. I never really put much thought into cars and the like, my current one serves me fine, I guess I could replace it for a modern electric one I suppose. Once I spent all the necessary money on this, I'd set aside the money required to maintain it, put an extra amount aside just to guarantee my comfort and to maybe travel to specific places and the rest could just go to random charities, or volunteer fire departments.

After all of this is said and done, I think I would still default to not caring much about it, once the novelty value went away, financial insecurity is a big source of stress for just about everyone, so that would be a load off my shoulder, but these make believe scenarios always sound sweeter in my head than they really are in practice.

 

[greebo6]

Give it all away. Mostly to charities. Then suicide. The money would not want to make me live. It can't fix what's wrong.

 

[LastFlowers]

At this point, I'm not sure, I've realized my situation is hopeless beyond better finances, but maybe I would give it all away or trash it, then make sure my family and anyone else knew that I intended for them to never get a dime. (Likely not my preferred action if I were afforded better circumstances to live, however, I know if anyone "close" to me came into that sort of money, I would not be seeing any of it.)
I am burdened with so much hate and spite towards them and other people, I have my reasons..good ones. Today I am especially angry. Perhaps I would change my mind, but make no mistake, they wouldn't deserve the money. They deserve to instead, suffer as I have-to the T-until they reach an understanding of my situation that forces their eyes open and causes them too, to beg for death.
I can't enjoy anything to splurge on, but if I could pay my way to make those around me experience my hell firsthand, expunge their willful ignorance toward me, eradicate their privileges in the face of all I have been starved of, erase their sweet memories and replace them with the horrors of my own-I would.
It would still fail to bring me joy, though it would be the closest thing to it.
But that's not a possibility, unfortunately for me, fortunately for them. As usual.
...So I guess it's all going to the cats lol-who probably could not care less.

A trip abroad. Not sure where but probably Europe.
