OFF TOPIC

Imagine that somehow you inherit a large sum of cash such as $2million.

What would you do next and how would this change your life?

I know that I would be investing a large chunk of it, getting out of debt, and getting some toys!

How about the rest of you Warriors?

  According to all the emails I get, I gotta be worth billions now.
  
  However, they want me to send them all this private information. They don't want me to tell anyone and I have to send them a good chunk of change just to access my inheritance.
  
  I think I'll just let it sit in their account and collect some interest until I get really hard-up for cash. Then I will then beg, borrow, steal, mortgage my home - or whatever I have to do just to secure the funds I need to collect what's rightfully mine. :p
  
  Thanks

i'd probably invest 25% of it into large projects. takes money to make money, so i'd go about doing that. the other 75%, part of it would go to my family, part of it would go to me just partying it up, cars, bikes, etc, and the rest i'd save \ use for bills and what not.

After the party and subsequent massive hangover (all of this after the mourning period of course, since its by death of loved one) this would be my arrangements.

Travel to all five continents while learning from the best of the world in each of my field of interest.

This of course includes leaving most of it in a trust gaining interests while I pay for my induction in high level investing.

Come back after I've filled my passport with every custom stamp possible and start using my wealth generating skills to create projects that actually help humanity reach its potential. Small steps first then escalation.

Spearhead a bunch of think tanks and biz hubs for eco-friendly energy and preservation of resources, along with education in humanism.

Also, a really nice BBQ, gotta love a Sunday afternoon with friends, beer, great view and best meat money can buy.

Hey Jag...

Are you taught in Costa Rica that there are 5 continents? In the US we're taught 7:

Africa
North America
South America
Asia
Austrailia
Antarctica
Europe

Some people are taught Europe and Asia are one continent and that North and South America are one.

Thanks

This was taught I believe in Russia, Japan, and Eastern Europe, as was also that Asia/Africa and North/South America are continents because they are only separated by isthmuses (or is the plural isthmi?).

Hey Kurt actually continents are just land masses that aren't consider islands. The division into 7 that you mentioned derives from a political nature of differencing population geographically.

Continents in the merely geographical sense there are only 3 populated, America (as a whole), Eurasia and Africa.

Politically there are 5 major populations assorted by geography and cultural commonalities.

America: sub divided in North, Central, South and Insular (all the countries within the islands in the Caribbean)

Africa: Subdivided ass well by regions

Asia: same ass above

Europe: viewed ass a whole with the including Russia that has its capital near Europe but extends to the farthest east of Asia

Oceania: Which is Australia and the rest of the countries that comprise the south pacific islands

Its the same world and all around the globe depending on your geography/social studies teacher, people like to sort people out in different categories. First world, third world, etc. Which by the way doesn't mean rich and poor in its original use.

Without forgetting the ice covered masses to the south and north, to which you have to get special permission to visit since there's a multi-government science research teams who are in charge of visitors.

It doesn't matter to me really, if the people are friendly, they got cold beer and good food, I'm there.

There is no right or wrong answer here.

Hopes this clears up your doubt.

Thanks

First two things I would do is get a highly successful accountant and hide as much as I could from the fingers of the gov. Then I would look at investments - set up a lapidary shop and do some hunting in places that I just can't get to right now........buy a dozen Krispy Kremes, make coffee and decide where to go first.
