What would you buy if you had $150,000??? Now, what would you do with $150,000 if you knew you would be getting that much money every 45 days for atleast 2 years? Really change your answers?? It sure does mine...kind of. I think you would have a tendancy to splurge more if you knew you were going to get more. I would do it, I know I would. What do you think?

if I was getting a one time payment of that I would buy a nice economic vehicle, like a yukkon or a suburban from the car auction. Now If I was getting that every 45 days. I would pay off my moms house buy my sister a place and a car. Give lots of money to child abuse and animal abuse care. Donate to every single program that I ever wanted to. Buy about five really good cars from the auction and take them to the womans shelter give them to people there. Start a fund for teen guidance so they dont have to be home alone while the parents work. (they still need supervision) Renovate my dads house, buy him a BRAND new truck. oh and the list goes on.......................I would be so happy can you tell?

That's pretty easy for me. First with the first two lots I'd buy a house here in Thailand for my wife's security. With the second two I'd buy an apartment in Australia. Then would follow gifts to my son and daughter, and investments for each of their children. Next I'd set up my wife's two children. That takes care of 18 months. With the balance, I would help homeless children here in Thailand. There, that wasn'y hard now. Was it?

Not sure what it is in £ but still a lot, I'd get a little camp site and set up a petting zoo, and of course my VW Camper. The bank would be happy to lend me the extra with that kind of income I'm sure and of course it would hopefully make money for my boys future too. Wow, I could have my goats, and my camper - nice.

I would go to my bank manager and ask him for a loan, and if he refused as he normally does, I would then let him know about my fortune and tell him I am going to bank elsewhere. I would then buy a new house and a new car. After that I would take a long vacation. I would have to think about what I would do after that, but I wouldn't be short of ideas.

That is amount of money is worth a million here in my country. I guess I would first buy a house, appliances, cars, and invest it for a new business. And if I get it for every 45 days I would surely share it to others, to those who are less-fortunate and put a foundation to provide for their needs. But I guess it's just a hypothetical question that needs a hypothetical answer!;) No, I mean what I previously said..

I would buy 2 houses next door to each other , my parents both have Alzheimer's and they could live next door and still have their independence but I would be close enough if they needed me xx

hmm if I were to get $150,000 first off I would buy a new Toyota Sequoia Limited & pay my insurance up on it for a year, then put the rest in savings, if I were to get another $150,000 every 45 days I would wait until I got it twice then go buy a 5 bedroom house, that way each of my kids could have their own room & I could have a guest room/computer room and I would probably end up having a little building put behind it for my sewing stuff, buy a long arm quilting machine, start my own business, as well as do alot more, but making sure to put some of the money into a high yield saving account each time.
