You know, said like this, it sounds kind of like a fatal illness or a maximum security jail or something. Kinda like \"Abandon all hope ye who have entered Terminal.\"Message original : frenchkid
yup, but the call it terminal here
Which, now that I think of it, is disturbingly appropriate.

i got finished with most of my credits before then so that i could do a bunch of extra curricular activities. and i had a blast doing it!

Pay off lawsuits
Which lawsuits?
Why all the people I am just dying to punch RIGHT IN THE FACE. First my boss. Spread out from there.
Oh yea, then I would start one of those super rich freak societies like in Eyes Wide Shut.
Um, then I would fly to casinos all over the world and make one bet of 100k on a single spin of roulette or something equally stupid.
I\'d get into some space tourist plan and walk in space.
In fact, I think I would gain about 100 pounds, die my stomach hair pink, and do an imitation waltz in freefall with Paris Hilton while wearing one of those tiny speedos you european types like.
Then I would write a book about what moron I was.
Then I would smoke dope everyday until it led to hard drugs and finally OD and choke on my own vomit.
Hmmm. Yep. Thats about it.
lol

Woo..
1) Set aside money for my son\'s college. To something either Ivy League or Rhode Scholar type expensive.
2) Pay off not only all my debts and my husband\'s, but my mother\'s, fathers, my husband\'s parent\'s, my brother\'s and my brother-in-law\'s.
3) Get back into college for my degree. Get my hubby into college to finish his degree. Send my brother in law to college, as well as my two neices and my nephew.
4) Hold a family reunion and pay for everyone to attend. (my father was second to the youngest of 14.. all married with at least two kids each, all of whom married and had kids...)
5) After settling my mom in a new home with paid-for landscaping service I\'d buy my own home. Custom designed with hidden passageways and rooms, a sound studio for my hubby, a painting studio for myself, and a soundproof room for the birds. Also have a woodworking studio where I\'d custom build hobby and craft tables specifically designed for the mini-painter.
6) Invest whatever I could.
7) World tour. Spend a year or two touring the world of RPG conventions.
8) Personal art lessons for painting, drawing and sculpting of miniatures (I figured this was a given).
9) Purchase the D&D license from Hasbro and take the classic game back under the hands of gamers, where it belongs. I\'d bring Chainmail with metal minis back and none of this pre-packaged, pre-painted stuff. If people want pre-painted, then I\'d hire good painters to do more than slap paint on them. :flame:
10) Start a new, yearly con specifically targetting miniatures complete with painting classes of varying levels, sculpting, diorama building, etcetera. Contests for each as well.
11) Start a charity that would help get people off the street and get them some training in needed skillsets so they could at least get a job to get a roof over their head and food on their table.
edit: 12) Oh, yeah, and get a couple of brand new cars. A Lambourghini Diablo maybe, for starters. lol

pipe dreams
well, first i`d quit my job and design my own house instead of being the cadmonkey and be the designer for once - and devote an entire wing to a painting room, two gaming tables and a huge display case - not that i have many models quite yet.
then, just for the hello of it, buy the rights to the smurfs from hanna barabara so i can assign names to the 60+ or so smurfs they never got around to.

Careful what you wish for
I would first buy a security staff...yes a security staff...for all my loved ones. I wouldn\'t want them to become kidnapping targets for ransom. I would then hire top knotch accountants and lawyers. Last thing you want is some nut trying to sue you for looking at him cross-eyed and getting half of your cash! The accountant, to help me track all that money! It may seem like a lot, but it would be way to easy to spend it all! And then what? You got all these big ticket items that need big ticket maintainence.
Oh yeah, I would also buy some cool bikes from OCC and West Coast Choppers.
But to be honest , I don\'t think I would want all that money.
Too many problems come with all that dough.

Hmm, I\'m a bit late here... my friend and I used to play this game all the time in grad school. Kept us sane.
I think I\'d start out by making sure that all my family were well provide for. Pay off my friends\' student loans (if they\'d let me), and finally get around to visiting everyone in distant parts who I never see because I have to work and can\'t afford the plane tix anyway.
I\'d like to sponsor a no-kill animal shelter somewhere... for ever And try and help reduce the number of people who freeze to death on the streets of Toronto every winter down to a more acceptable \"none\".
As for personal avarice, I think that with a hundred mil or so you can pretty much have whatever you want. That might be dangerous for me if I wasn\'t careful. I\'d definitely improve my painting environment, and I suspect I might commission certain very talented miniature sculptors to sculpt some characters I\'d like to paint - eg. my avatar I\'d probably take lots of art classes too, and maybe take some more undergraduate-level art history... become a little more well rounded than \"nerdy scientist guy\".

I was thinking along the mail order lines as well, but more in the direction of that russian or asian mail order bride I have been contemplating, (LOL)

Another thought...
120 million would definetly give you freedom to be creative so after the house, helping family, boat, car, clothing, etc I think it would be time for some fun. How about this...
1) Buy the property next to someone who really pissed you off and start a landfill, or maybe a manure processing plant.
2) Run for mayor so you can actually have your own way in your own town.
3) Open a really cool hobby center just the way you always imagined.
4) Have Ben and Jerry\'s Ice Cream create a flavor just for you.
5) Hire a topless house maid.
6) Buy controlling interest in several companies that you thought is might be fun to run.
7) Open a Hooters franchise.
(The list is endless...)
