Yes.  I know.  It’s not going to happen, but for $2 a homie can dream and have a bit of fun.
What would you buy?
What would you do?
Where would you go?



I’d go check this land out. Probably buy it.
Get a huge bit of land in a free state. I promise to not bring my MI ways with me. Get a home built on it. The home would be 2 stories tall and have a living room that had a loft style to it.  Plenty of room to hang elk, moose, etc.
house would have a well equipped basement.  A few generators. Defensible positions, etc.
I would have a small museum.  Fossils, movie memorabilia, etc.
I would have a classroom for my boys.  I would hire in ABA staff and speech staff.  They would be paid very well.
Sauna, cryotherapy chamber, hyperbaric chamber, a kick ass gym.
I would get a huge pole barn/garage. I would put a runway in.  Obviously have a gun range.
I’d fish, hunt, garden, farm cattle and chickens.  I would not have a 9-5 job, but I would work on the farm all day.

I have a dream of guiding charity hunts.  Maybe kids that have disabled dad (vets?). Idk.  Just an idea.

I’d have a nice stable of cars. I like the hellcats, I’d get a demon. I do like older cars, maybe something with a 426 hemi in it?

I’d have enough guns to invade Panama.  NV, thermal, etc. I’d make the guys at TNVC do a double take with an order.


Half would go into investments. Live off the dividends only. Set up a trust to take care of the wife and kids when I pass.  

Travel is restricted until after the vaccine BS is over.  Sorry. Not gonna go to Canada and waste 14 days in quarantine.
I wanna go to Islay and see the scotch distilleries. I love peated scotch.

Take the kids to Disney.
Panama for stem cells in my back.  

Hunts I want to go on:
Fly in moose hunt in AK
Elk in the west.
Pronghorn
Black bears in various color phases.
NM oryx hunt.
Maine black bear hunt.
Grizz hunt in AK.
Safari in Africa.
I want to get all the subspecies of work turkey in America (grand slam)



I’d become a member of my community.  Join the FD or ambulance squad.  Plow peoples drives for free, have big cookouts.  I figure with a small town, you could invest 10 mil and put the graduating class through community college every year.  That’s the sort of thing that makes a diff in a town.

Try and live a good life. Try and not worry about things anymore.  


So. Let’s hear what you would do.

Large section of land.

Build a couple acre pad in the middle of it from dirt dug for the moat.

Build a 8000sqft ICF house (2' thick walls) with a full basement and wrap around porch. Two identical sized parts of the house under a common hip roof with a wide dog trot between them.

Clad the outside walls with 1/2 brushed stainless steel.  Roof would be clad as well.

Gun room full of top quality items and accoutrements. (no middle of the mall shit)

Couple of Unimogs and other vehicles.

Airstrip. Hangar. De Havilland airplane, Piper M600 SLS.

Bison ranch.


eta, meat sanniches erey day!

It would include several sections of land and an off grid compound with a tunnel system. And lots of trapspuzzles.

If it was one of those big ones, my new hobby would be buying a different income producing piece of farm ground every year.

ETA, if that’s going to work out, I’m probably going to need to buy a lottery ticket.

Own land I could describe it by the sections, not the acres.

Nice house, nicer car and done. Invest the rest and just kind of retire early. Get a job doing something a little laid back, if not try to start my own business doing something like owning a small gym.

I've already got a list of family and friends I'd help out by paying off all their debt, and in some cases, a lot more.

I know I would definitely leave my job, but I wouldn't just quit.  I have no desire to burn bridges, even bridges I'd never need to cross ever again.  So, I'd hang out until they find someone to replace me.

With stupid money, a shop would be built, in another state, and I'd hire a friend with a CDL to drive us around the country and go buy cars and trucks.  Bring them back to the shop, and have a blast restoring, modding, whatever.  Sure, I'd buy a couple new vehicles.  Something Hellcat'ish.

Probably keep our travel trailer, and do more upgrades to it.  

Fuck, even with hundreds of millions I still couldn't just throw money away.  I'm not wired that way.

That's a great idea.

Having your own farm(s) would be great for food security, too.

Damn. Didn't realize that it was so high. I normally buy a ticket if it gets this high. If someone doesn't win tonight, I'll buy one for Friday, and hopefully I'll be able to walk off the fucking job like a boss.

I'd relocate somewhere permanently where my kids can grow up educated, experienced, and free.

Then I'd just retire and be a stay-at-home dad

I'll set myself up for a pretty basic life until the kids are all 18, then it's vacation vacation vacation until I'm bored or die.

Or corner the entire world supply of 10mm sockets.

If I have a million left after that, maybe a few boxes of .45-70.

I was in southern Utah last weekend.  Don’t sell lotto tickets in Utah.

I took my daughter and two nieces on a jeep ride on some dirt roads and ended up in AZ.  we bought some lotto tickets for the heck of it.

We drove back on the dirt roads and they talked for 2 hours about what they would do if they won.  

They will remember that little road trip for life.  Tickets already paid for themselves.

Probably a nice overland setup and new ultralight hiking/mountaineering gear.

Once I finish the CONUS 14ers I'll spend some time in Alaska.  Maybe tool around the Himalayas.  I don't have any real desire to bag 8km peaks though.

Good luck finding me to ask for money

If I won $10m or more I would by land with less than half of it, and then use the other half to hire a crack team of software engineers and a leadership/marketing team and find a hole that needs to be filled to prevent deplatforming of dissidents.

Couple modest houses with not so modest sized garages around country near famous racing tracks.

Garages with various mustangs, 911s, vipers at the various locqtions.

Spend rest of my days traveling around the country tracking cars from Laguna Seca to Road Atlanta.

Once a year head to Germany to drive nurbergring for a couple days.
