Yet another uncreative Friday Five about spending imaginary money. Blah. I did it anyway.
You have just won one million dollars:
1. Who do you call first?
My boyfriend.
2. What is the first thing you buy for yourself?
A three-bedroom, 2-bathroom house, in the East Bay Hills. Since taxes would eliminate at least 40% of the million, I would probably put a massive down payment on the mortgage of perhaps $250K. That way, with a decent interest rate, Brian and I would only pay like $600 each on our mortgage. Million dollars: not a lot of money here. Next time, at least make the question more interesting: ten million dollars. Anyway. The bathtub will have jacuzzi jets in it.
3. What is the first thing you buy for someone else?
So with the remaining $350k, I would buy my boyfriend a car. No, not a $350,000 car. I would buy him a $70k Jag, cash.
4. Do you give any away? If yes, to whom?
$280k left. I would give fifty grand each to my mom, dad, and brother.
5. Do you invest any? If so, how?
Ooops only $130k remaining! Huh. It all goes into my 401k retirement fund. After that we are back where we started with no cash, but we now own property, have security, and can drive around in a Jaguar.
Spending a million dollars: extremely not hard in 2004. That’s like a long weekend for P. Diddy. Or (after taxes) an average home in the SF Bay Area.
yea, i cant really do that Friday Five. cant they have a Friday Five about your five favorite red shapes or something? i hate talking about money. blah.
Yeah it’s kind of boring huh. Maybe make it different like, what would you do with $150 if you could only spend it on food? If they insist on having money questions.
You can submit questions you know. You should submit yours!
