Fantasy Time-You just won 50 million

[Mrs. Gradenko]

Figure you brought home 30 million after taxes.

Stewart's not allowed to play, because we already know what he'd do. If he wants he can play it as he didn't have to worry about ti running out.

I'd pay off my parents house, then the three cars.

Then quit my job (in the fun way, by telling my boss exactly what I think of him).

Go to college, and jump around through a bunch of differnt things until I finally found the one I want.

Then put a big chunk into a retirement account for each of us. And another chunk into the buisness.

Then invest some, and put the rest in the bank. The idea of never having to worry about money seems like allot more fun then blowing it.

How much do you think it would cost to buy a Police reunion? lol

well, [i]I[/i] don't know what stewart would do with it...

...but i would purchase some land and build a recording studio there, as well as a stage that could be reconfigured and dressed as needed. then i'd go ahead and get the ball rolling on my next movie idea. i might still seek some outside financing, just so i didn't go belly up if it flopped totally.

Mrs. Gradenko, could you tell me what exactly you are doing in your job?

I think that no matter if I had enough money to live, I really want to continue teaching.

Teens give me many joy and energy...

[Mrs. Gradenko]

Bleh I work as a chashier with moronic customers with last week's sales adds.

But I have allot of cute guys that come through my line, flirting's the fun part of my job. Annoyingly most are around 30.

With 30 million, I'd set up an indie record store in Beverly Hills and invite the cast of That 70s Show to my grand-opening party. A number of 70s musician's would be invited as well and paid to perform a live set: Todd Rundgren, Cheap Trick, Journey, Walter Egan, Fleetwood Mac, and of course The Police.

Leaving other people to manage the business, I would retire to a ranch in North Texas.

So you don't like babies...

Excuse me, 30, are babies for me, and old men for you, so tell me how come you like Sting to much, he is almost 55 soon, and you are annoyingly with cute 30 years old guys?



And Popcorn your fantasy with 30 million is amazing for me, I hope if this will come true, you invite me to your grand-opening party, maybe then, as it looks an informal and relax party, The Police could play 2 or 3 songs again.

[Mrs. Gradenko]

My parents would kill me if I dated someone that old.

They do tend to hold a stable job, and know how to handel their money though. That's much more apealing then digging through the floor of the car for gas money.

[jackie]

Hey georgygirl, what do you teach?

[georgygirl]

Just suppose Sting wants to date you...

What would you said to him,

-no my parents don't want to meet old people or you will take the risk and going out with him, no matter what your dad and mom said?

[Mrs. Gradenko]

My Mom would say, "Nice one!" My Dad would say, "You know he's older then me right?"

But some average guy, wouldn't turn out so well.

Honestly? I'd invest the hell out of it so I could live off the interest. You can spend about 4% a year of a portfolio without cutting into the principal, but right now inflation is around 5%, so I'd put a lot of it into stocks - which trend better over the longterm.

However, as 5% of $30 million is 1.5 million, that'd give me around seven bills a year to play with. I'd do exactly what I do now - live someplace cheap and travel around the world - only I'd take more people with me.

Buy a house, pay off my car, invest 80% of the rest of it, travel until the rest is gone, live off the interest. First on the travel list - a pilgrimage to Backstage Cafe and Disneyland.
