I love asking people what their first irresponsible purchase would be if they won the lottery.
Everyone has the day dream of paying off medical debt, your parent's mortgage, new car, fun vacation. But that's all responsible. I want to know what the unhinged thing you probably shouldn't do is. My favorite answer was Baja Blast on tap bedside.
An auto shop.
Just spend my days fixing cars, I'd have a few dozen and just restore em. Nothing crazy, I'd have things like a pristine geo metro. All the cheap cars that I just enjoy. I'd sell em, but I like keeping old stuff working.
Or I'd spend a year and go to every Cubs game. Just follow em around the country.
Two chicks at the same time.
You don't need a million bucks to do two chicks at the same time.
I do for the kinda chicks that would double up on a guy like me.
Fuckin A
Hit up Ren Fairs?
Hi it's me. I'd like to know more about topic.
Renaissance Fairs seem to be great places for ppl who are unique to meet and get a date, just from what female friends I have who go to them have told me
RenFaire/SCA events are amazing for that because, in my experience, you can meet a lot of kinky people if you know the right people/group or can pass a vibe check with rhem
Most of the times I've done that I was broke
Can confirm. It's actually free to vibe with people.
I will confess: I bought two. I did not need two. The second one was not hunger. It was gratitude, and it was delicious.

Fully fitted set of 15th c. style gothic plate armour and accompanying zweihander.
Custom made modern, or actually reconditioned ancient?
I want to hire a hairdresser that washes my hair and does the head massage every morning. Everyday my head shall be rubbed.
Oh god that's the sort of question I would have to ask if they really want to know the TRUE first thing or the first thing appropriate for general audiences lol.
Buy areas next to churches and put sex shops in them.
I think if I was a perverted pastor and wanted lots of freaky sex stuff but felt I needed to keep that aspect of myself hidden for appearance's sake, I'd hardly pop in to a sex shop right next to my church where members of the community would see me and where the owners of the shop, who almost certainly set up that shop in that spot specifically to be provocative, could also see me.
Make sure you donate all profits to charity, and advertise as such.
Idk.im probably autistic but like i just wouldn't buy anything irresponsible lmao like i dont get the question i guess, if you really enjoy something it's not irresponsible and you're rich as hell so go for it.
That's how lottery winners lose everything very fast.
Not quite, they buy crazy expensive things that don't actually make them happy -- that's the irresponsible part. Spend thousands on bottle service at the club wake up in the morning feeling empty and used and find the next socially encouraged stupid thing to soend money on. One fancy sports car won't affect a lottery winner's finances much, but they buy one lose the novelty of it after a few days and then they end up with 12 sports cars and now they're actually at risk of going broke. But if they spent that money on something that actually made them happy, not just what society says is supposed to be fun, they wouldn't become spending addicts. They'd get plenty of happiness and usage out of those things and not perpetually search for the next high.
I've never been interested in Vegas. But recently I found out there's a place near Vegas that lets you rent a tank and then you can run over cars and I think you can shoot it too. And you can shoot a real minigun! To shoot that gun for a minute is like $14,000. So I take a few of my friends to go do that,
To shoot it for 10 seconds is about $400. I go there myself to shoot the ww1 guns.
10 acre quail farm
Realistically irresponsible or insanely irresponsible?
Realistically irresponsible: I'd buy a huge piece of land out in the woods. Build a house, add a 1 acre pond with an island in the middle where I could go and sit and read.
Insanely irresponsible: I've often wondered how much it would cost to live full time at Disney World. Full deal, Park passes, meal plan, etc.
Understanding that they'd make you change rooms every month to avoid letting you have tenant rights. That's assuming the lottery winnings aren't enough to just buy enough stock to control the company.
I'd strongly recommend you change the pond to a river. Just cleaner, especially if you buy all the way upstream too.
I've also wondered how much it would cost to live fulltime in my worst nightmare's version of hell.
You would read up until the mosquitos and spiders came at you from that swamp. Then the frogs would start their croaking and splashing. Followed by the chorus of crickets and cicadas. And more likely some dick blue Jay would show up and yell at you for no good fucking reason, with its ugly ass noise it makes, like can you even call that a bird call?
Well, the mosquitos aren't that big a deal. The fish and the frogs take care of them. I don't mind the noise of the frogs, crickets, or cicadas. Their sounds are nowhere near as bad as the noise people make.
I already make ponds on the property I have. I just dream of a larger one.
Rescue 99 Dalmatians so I can have the Dalmatian Plantation I was promised at the end of 101 Dalmatians.
Buy a large tract of land and do my best Hobbit impression
A rich weirdo did that in Knoxville, but as an overpriced themed resort.

Neat!
I remember lewis black said ball scrubber for unhinged thing.
Buy a massive bowl of cocaine and dump my face in it
Omnitrack VR, and that stem cell clinic
I'd buy an abandoned old villa or chateau in Italy or France and rebuild it.
Pretty sure there are programs where you can just get a castle so long as you maintain it. Hell I think both Italy and France will pay you to do it for some of the remote ones.
Castles are relatively cheap to buy, at least compared to luxury villas. Sure, you can throw few millions in one if you wish, but I've seen listings around the internet for around 50k. But you'll still likely need few millions for upkeep and repairs, regardless of purchase price.
I can't say for Italy but in France it's basically free indeed. Maintenance costs are high and the repairs must follow strict patrimony preservation rules with certified workers.
Do they pay for the renovation costs too, or is that where you're actually spending all your money?
A full set of Brady's drums! They're the best drums in the world, they're made of jarrah wood.
I'd buy a tank or have one commissioned. Depends how much money I'd have from said lottery.
