...what are your plans?

I'll start.

I'm going to buy a villa on the beach in the Virgin Islands, where I will sit on my deck watching my son play in the ocean, sipping a Corona and listening to Bob Marley.


Oh glorious pipe dreams... :D

Well I was thinking about buying a new car... At first a Roles Royce Phantom came to mind but then... I found the most bad ass car ever...

Anything that I can drive knowing that I am impervious to AK 47 and M16 fire is good enough for me :)

Force field eh? Ok, I give up. You got me with that one. I suppose I can say that I will buy a phaser or a disruptor beam, proton beam or some other sci-fi gear but I'm sure you'll say next that your car will have a cloaking device a la star trek and that my RPG will be useless if I can't see you in the first place.

Now as for shiny thing, hey, I've got a lot of shiny things for sale..:p so I want to help you fulfill your goal in life :)

Damn! That's one big a$$ house.

Hmm, I heard that Bill Gates has his house stuffed full of servers and other computers managing all the various aspects of his high tech home. It would be funny if Billy Boy tries to take a shower and can't because one of his Windblowz server just had a BSOD (blue screen of death - for those of you non-geeks) :D

You know, I always wanted to have my own spaceship. Do you think FAPS can help me get one ? :p

I only want 1 thing.. To be completely debt free :) I figure I already own everything I could ever need.. I have a nice truck I just paid off. A nice house with 3 acres in Northern California and a great wife... If I could just pay off the things I already have I would be set :) My goal is to be debt free in 10 years or less.... I hope everybody gets everything they desire. Alan that video you posted was great, that is what I hope to have, a very simple fulfilling life with not alot of crap cluttering it... Also a very large bank account :) of course:eek:

I very much doubt that...surely he has some sense of pride in his own product.

If I get rich from trading, I'd have a facility for scientific research built and spend time in different places all over Earth.. I'd live modest.. The only reason I want lots of money in the first place is because that's the way of this world..

alan

Same here. I want to travel as much as possible. Hey Mike what type of scientific research would you engage in? I'm a bit science fan so I may join you ;)...if there is a spot open of course.

My plan would be to buy a pub in Melbourne and run a micro brewery (If you've ever been to the Belgian Beer Cafe in Melbourne or Sydney, thats the kind of thing I would aim for.)
I wouldn't really care if it was doing a roaring trade or not as I'd have a massive stockpile of Forex Cash to get me by!
Then I could just relax and drink good ale and forget the working week.

Well guys, I sincerely hope we all get what we desire. Let us however make sure we keep in mind that money is not a good in itself, but merely a means by which we sustain the happiness we've already built.
