If you were handed a million dollars cash...no questions asked and could do whatever you wanted with it, what would you do?

Taquito · 09-23-2004

Seakony · 09-23-2004

save some of it for a rainy day, buy a condo in Aruba and Akumal. Set up a scholarship, and save the Turtles.

Beachnutt719 · 09-23-2004

Move to Playa!

TAPPY · 09-23-2004

Take my family on a fab vacation to Tahiti......or Maldives.

Travel for a few months all over Europe !
Buy my daughter a Harp (the really big kind)
and invest the rest so I could retire early instead of at 80 !!!!!! and go to Mexico for a few weeks every year !!!!

**Bumper** · 09-23-2004

Buy a suitable condo in Playa - likely off 5th, North of Constituentes, and furnish it as we please. Park an air-conditioned vehicle in the garage. Those arrangements would use up about half the money. Then bank the rest down there to support us in the style in which we would like to become accustomed. That would pretty much take care of our winters, and that's a good thing. Oh yeah, have a draft beer system installed in the Casa del Bumper to accomodate visits from friends with varying tastes. Four taps: Corona, Modelo Especial, Dos Equis Ambar, and some kind of Porter.

Quinn · 09-23-2004

Retire in PDC and from there travel South America or wherever the winds would blow me.... live day to day and see the world

Oh ya... and buy a real bad ass OLD SCHOOL CHOPPER!

TAPPY · 09-23-2004

Sunseekers...what would YOU do ??????
(as if we even need to ask)

Phil V · 09-23-2004

Buy an island and open it to Playa Info members.

First thing I would do is have the guy that handed me that bill arrested for forgery!

Then I would moan and groan about it not being real.

On the other hand if it was a certified check, I would invest half of it in something safe, use the other half to buy a summer home in England and a winter home somewhere in the Yucatan. Not sure where exactly, but it would be somewhere convenient to my favorite places. Pay off my mortgage in my Spring and fall house here in the states, retire and try and live off the interest and my retirement.

Oh and buy a fast sports car (dating young women is just too expensive

)

And it might really piss off Mrs. Critter too.

First would be to pay off my mortgage.

Second, I would buy a really nice sports car. Maybe Ferrari, Maybe Porsche.

Third, take the family on an amazing 10 day vacation to Walt Disney World, two bedroom suite at the Grand Floridian and no worries about the obscene cost of food and crap inside the parks.

Fourth, put the remaining change in the kids piggy bank.

Now that the mortgage is paid off, my wife and I could afford atleast three trips a year to PDC without any kids.

Ginger · 09-23-2004

Pay off my mortgage.

Pay off my car, then trade in the piece of crap for a new one.

Travel to Europe and Australia.

Put a large chunk away for the kids' edumacation.

Invest some for future travelling money.

Buy a summer cabin.

Pay off our two see-doos.

Alright, now I'm depressed.

**sctx** · 09-23-2004

No brainer, become co-manager of Oscar y Lalos and drink some really good Tequila... for the rest of my life

STOGEY · 09-23-2004

As for me the other day I heard what I thought was a vw beetle starting up, but it actually turned out to be a porsche, so for me I don't think I'd spend all my money on somehting that sounds like a beetle. But I would buy myself a nice cat to open a diving charter business that went between PDC and Jamaica during the winters.

Then I'd buy my significant other I nice place where ever she wanted it. The rest we'd save for a rainy day, plus mutliple vacations.

But of course I'd have to send some of it to support the candidate of my choice. Trying to keep politics out of this site, I'm not going to mention the candidate of my choice.
