He loves what he does. And probably a new truck. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-your-so-do-worth-a-million-dollars#post-986882 Sat, 03 Aug 2013 11:16:26 +0000 JoyfulKiwi 986882@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: that is so random!</p> <p>@Crumbs: "- actually inquire about painters to finish off the carport area - not actually hire them and insists to paint it himself" That sounds like my husband!</p> <p>Pay off his debts, then put it in the bank to collect interest so he could quit his job and live off of it. Now he says, "On second thought, I'd buy a bunch of cocaine and throw an elaborate party." [We definitely don't do drugs :)] </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-your-so-do-worth-a-million-dollars#post-986877 Sat, 03 Aug 2013 11:13:40 +0000 bookwormmama 986877@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We've talked about it before and the one thing he said he would do that kinda surprised me was he said he would donate like 10% to the lab he works in currently. It would pay for a lot of new equipment and make his work a lot easier. </p> <p>(He also said the standard things like pay off our debts, buy a house, and probably get some video game related stuff) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-your-so-do-worth-a-million-dollars#post-986876 Sat, 03 Aug 2013 11:13:06 +0000 mrs. bird 986876@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>pay off debt and save for retirement<br /> buy a house<br /> go back to school<br /> replace his POS car </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-your-so-do-worth-a-million-dollars#post-986859 Sat, 03 Aug 2013 11:05:09 +0000 Bookish 986859@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>- pay off all our debts<br /> - buy himself a Tacoma<br /> - buy me an Audi<br /> - buy a fancy guitar<br /> - locate and purchase every Star Wars, GI Joe, and Transformers toy that he doesn't own, then build an addition onto the house to hold them all<br /> - buy every NES game ever made, then find a divorce lawyer because he wouldn't have time for me anymore! ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-your-so-do-worth-a-million-dollars#post-986838 Sat, 03 Aug 2013 10:45:01 +0000 JoJoGirl 986838@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Quit his job to start his own business, buy a huge house in the town where we want to live, and then take us on a fancy vacation with whatever is left over. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-your-so-do-worth-a-million-dollars#post-986831 Sat, 03 Aug 2013 10:37:27 +0000 Modern Daisy 986831@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My DH would definitely pay off our mortgage then invest the rest. He would probably also insist that I stop working. And he would finally upgrade his guitar. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-your-so-do-worth-a-million-dollars#post-986805 Sat, 03 Aug 2013 10:15:21 +0000 loveisstrange 986805@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>-Invest half<br /> -Sell our house and buy a slightly nicer one (~$200k)<br /> -Slightly nicer car ($15-20k)<br /> -Take a 6-12 months and travel all over Asia and Europe<br /> -Go to school and get a useless degree because he can (probably Music)<br /> -Buy music stuff, specifically 2 Martin guitars, a Les Paul, a nice Vox amp, and a high-end drumset </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-your-so-do-worth-a-million-dollars#post-986741 Sat, 03 Aug 2013 09:48:57 +0000 hellocupcake 986741@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Put it in savings. He would MAYBE pay off some of the house...maybe. He really likes seeing our safety net in our savings account. Me? I would "steal" some of said million dollars and buy him stuff he wants but won't buy for himself (: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-your-so-do-worth-a-million-dollars#post-986730 Sat, 03 Aug 2013 09:45:51 +0000 yoursilverlining 986730@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>- He'd keep his "mom car", but also buy his "man car" (some little import sportscoupe like an Audi TT or Porche).<br /> - Pay off the mortgage on our home<br /> - We'd rent a home in Tuscany and spend a month there just eating and drinking and living life<br /> - I'd convince him to buy more investment property (he knows I'm right, he's just gun-shy!)<br /> - We'd use a chunk to leverage funding to build a brand new, state of the art animal shelter in our area (he's got a huge heart for the kittehs and puppehs). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-your-so-do-worth-a-million-dollars#post-986725 Sat, 03 Aug 2013 09:43:28 +0000 avivoca 986725@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pay off our house, probably buy a super expensive mountain bike, and I would insist that we tackle some bigger renovations (floors, kitchen, bathrooms, COPALUM crimping the entire house). He also would like to fund a scholarship at our alma mater. Then he would invest and set aside some money for our parents/LO. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-your-so-do-worth-a-million-dollars#post-986719 Sat, 03 Aug 2013 09:41:48 +0000 Baby Boy Mom 986719@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: Hilarious!</p> <p>DH is a practical kind of guy- so he would probably pay off medical school loans and then buy a house. I should ask him though... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-your-so-do-worth-a-million-dollars#post-986706 Sat, 03 Aug 2013 09:35:56 +0000 Alivoo01 986706@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He'd buy a tractor for the farm because he's been wanting one for awhile now, then he'd buy us a bigger house, put some in DS's savings account, pay off debt (mortgages and car payments) and probably buy himself a new car. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-your-so-do-worth-a-million-dollars#post-986632 Sat, 03 Aug 2013 08:37:49 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 986632@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He would pay off our house and invest the rest. He's boring! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-your-so-do-worth-a-million-dollars#post-986613 Sat, 03 Aug 2013 08:23:20 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 986613@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: @JamieLee: yeah, he keeps me laughing! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-your-so-do-worth-a-million-dollars#post-986570 Sat, 03 Aug 2013 07:47:07 +0000 JamieLee 986570@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: that is seriously hilarious! </p> <p>My DH would pay off all our debt, build a pole barn, buy a four wheeler and a new truck, and probably buy a pontoon boat. Maybe sell our house and buy a modest lake house. He's pretty practical so nothing too extravagant! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-your-so-do-worth-a-million-dollars#post-986542 Sat, 03 Aug 2013 07:26:09 +0000 pui 986542@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>-Pay off our current home and industrial property.<br /> -Invest the rest wisely, likely in more rental property.<br /> -Continue living pretty much the same way we are now for 10 years or so.<br /> -Buy a nicer house for us. Nothing too crazy, but still very nice.<br /> -Retire from our day jobs and focus on managing our investments.<br /> -Go on lots of vacations.<br /> -Leave our kids a large inheritance. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-your-so-do-worth-a-million-dollars#post-986525 Sat, 03 Aug 2013 07:13:33 +0000 SugarplumsMom 986525@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He just left, so I'll have to guess. He's really practical so:</p> <p>- pay off the house<br /> - actually inquire about painters to finish off the carport area<br /> - not actually hire them and insists to paint it himself<br /> - I'm getting a new, renovated kitchen<br /> - and a pantry<br /> - take a vacation<br /> - go back to our honeymoon location and actually pay full price for convenience<br /> - pay off our student loans</p> <p>I'm looking forward to compare to what his real answers would be when he gets home. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-your-so-do-worth-a-million-dollars#post-986519 Sat, 03 Aug 2013 07:07:55 +0000 BlueWolverine 986519@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Definitely pay off all the debt, buy a house and probably a new, fancy, high end Mustang. Oh and a long Alaskan cruise. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-your-so-do-worth-a-million-dollars#post-986514 Sat, 03 Aug 2013 07:03:02 +0000 Sugar.Biscuit 986514@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pay off all our debt, buy a forever home (nothing over the top probably $200-$300,000 dollar home) and invest the rest. He might let me take a vacation with some of it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-your-so-do-worth-a-million-dollars#post-986509 Sat, 03 Aug 2013 06:58:12 +0000 Smurfette 986509@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: LOL!!</p> <p>I think he would pay off the house and then buy himself some dream car. Which changes every time I ask. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-your-so-do-worth-a-million-dollars#post-986418 Sat, 03 Aug 2013 03:02:41 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 986418@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Here's what mine would do:<br /> He'd buy a million watches set to a million different cities around the world.<br /> When people ask for him the time. He would ask them back to specify which city?<br /> When an old person asks him for the time. He would you use his cell phone to respond because old people hate that.<br /> When he is not telling people the time he will be like his dentist and floss!</p> <p>I married a fool. :happy: </p> <p>What have we learned? He must be a savvy shopper to buy a million watches for $1,000,000 dollars including tax. He feels the need to represent every city of the world not just the dozen time zones. He likes to aggravate senior citizens. And lastly, when he becomes a millionaire his arms will grow and grow to accommodate all those watches. </p> <p>Please share your favorite hypothetical Q&amp;A with your SO! </p>
