You have 24 hours to spend 1 Million $

Just like it sounds. You win a Million bucks, with the caveat that you have to spend it all in a 24 Hour period. Once the 24 Hours is up, the money is gone, any left over is taken back.

Imagine you just received the money. WHAT ARE YOU DOING!? YOU'VE GOTTA MOVE!

First would probably be to buy a new house. Nothing extravagant, just a nice place to live without having a mortgage. Then with what's left, I'd probably buy some rations and items that I could use for a while after the 24-hours was up. After that, I'm probably buying one of those all-inclusive WM ticket packages to WM 31 to be able to say I was at a Mania live for a couple thousand dollars. Then I'm probably buying a dream vacation after that with what's left.

Under 24 hours is kinda pushing a lot of what we can do haha.

I'd buy a decent house somewhere in South East Edmonton for between $300k and $500k. Pretty hard to get that done in such a short time though but I'd do it. Furnish it with top of the line appliances, electronics and furniture. As well as some gym equipment for the basement.

I'd adopt a nice doggy or two from the Humane Society to help make the house a home.

Get myself a '69 Dodge Charger because it's my dream car.

Load up my garage with a pallet of Lucky Lager, a pallet of Keith's IPA and a pallet of Molson Export. Load up a room with some bottles of quality Scotch, whiskeys, vodka, rum, gin(especially lemon for my brother) and wines.

Whatever is left I'd donate to my rugby club to help make it the best in Alberta because I love that club :crybaby . DONATIONS COUNT AS SPENDING :cussing

If you are paying the whole thing up front in cash, you probably could. It cuts out the whole hassle of getting banks involved. Enough money makes anything possible.

Yeah, I'd just buy a nice house. If I had anything left over, I'd pick some expensive furniture for the place. If there's anything left after that, I'd just go to a music shop and buy instruments until I ran out of cash. Which would be incredibly quick and easy to do.

Am I allowed to put it all into an investment account? Technically the money is all used up then.

Take part in the most expensive orgy ever.

I'd probably buy a bunch of shit that equals $1M and then return it the next day/sell when the timer goes out, thus allowing me to keep the $1M saved.

I ain't living life in the Fast Lane just yet.

I was going to say stocks but I guess Tim took that and it's out the door.

If it was a Million dollars, I would go with spending as much as I could on anything. Cars, house, boat, whatever, even land. anything that could be done fast. Once the 24 hours are up? Sell the shit. It was a free 1 million, Ill take what I can get back.

If I couldn't do that, and it had to be things for myself...

House (and likely a lot of remodeling and refurnishing)
Motorcycle
Car
Truck
Stocks (reasonably and seriously, not to put in and take out immediately)
Pay for my brothers schooling
Pay off my parents loans they owe
Toys (guns, knives, swords)

That would probably, honestly cover close to a mil.

I'd buy a bitching taco truck, and travel the world. Selling tacos during the day, exploring during the night.

Serious answer, buy a house, a car. If buying bonds counts I'd do that, or try to pay my property taxes for a few decades ahead of time. What's the point of an expensive ass house if the property taxes kill you. I don't really care about shit man. A nice house and good car is all I'd really want. Maybe stock up my room with shit tons of non perishables, like rice and beans and canned food and all other kinds of survival shit. Buy a few more guns, maybe a couple dozen with ammo and accessories. Then transfer it to my house once I move in. Buy tickets to a bunch of places around the world with all inclusive packages. Tickets to Wrestlemania, Wrestle Kingdom. Then whatever is left over I'd give to my family, if that's not ok, then charity, if that's not ok. Then I'd throw a giant party with booze and high end hookers. I don't know if I would sleep with a hooker, but I'm sure some of the people I know would appreciate them. Also I'd have to pay the people I hired to help me accomplish this all in one day. Cause if it was just me I know I'd be done in like 2 hours and say fuck it, the house and car were all the effort I had in me, and just go back home and order as much shit as I could online.

So I started writing how I'd probably buy some houses, maybe set something up for the future, make sure my family were looked after, etc. But then I thought, why not just try and blow as much of it being crazy! I would probably spend half of the 24 hours throwing the biggest party I could

You all realize you still have to pay taxes on your property and home, right? So even if you bought a nice house you couldn't afford it after the Million $ was gone. I would invest the money into a business or stocks so that I can keep making money well past the 24 period.
