I think if I had a million+ bucks I'd buy the same house that my wife and I are trying to buy right now and live off the interest and wife's income (my wife would keep working because she's perverse like that - she loves her job and is unable to entertain herself). Give me internet access and a library card and I'm set.
I don't like memorabilia, souvenirs, vintage/retro equipment of any kind, and I have zero entrepreneurial spirit. I like rural New Mexico best of all the places I've lived. I'm not interested in travel, real estate, recording music, cars, home theater, clothes, food, comic books, coins, stamps, or any other potentially pricy hobbies. My hobbies are reading, writing, and watching documentaries, so I'm kind of in a good place as far as that's concerned. Mostly, I just want the financial freedom to do what I want to do in life (I have a shit-load of hobbies). I'm trying to answer as quickly as possible but getting hammered by the time restraint

Various mutual funds and a full time financial advisor who is in turn monitored by a full time accountant. How do you plan on living the rest of your life? I haven't been asked for money in a few years now, largely because I've been traveling. I bought into a lot of it at first but you quickly become hardened and learn to say no. When it first happened I was deluged by people I hadn't seen in years asking me for help, telling me their SOB stories, and wanting to start a business. How badly do people pester you for handouts (for business, charity etc)? Paid off the debt of lifelong friends (total cost was about $200K). I gave my parents and sister $1M each, donated another million to a scholarship fund. How much did you give to others (charity, family etc)? It cost me $90K and sits right behind my sofa. T-rex animatronic head used in Jurassic Park. What was the most ridiculous thing you bought? Made photocopies of the ticket and contacted a lawyer. What did you do when you found out you won? Please focus your questions over at this AMA. Say hello.įinal final edit (?): Apparently this is being linked to from a few high profile sites, I will continue to answer your questions but please understand that my internet access is limited right now so it might take a day or two. If you ever run into a guy who randomly buys you a beer, that is probably me. I will try to answer what questions I didn't get to then. It will probably be a few days before I can get back on reddit. I will keep answering slowly via phone but Ill pick up the slack after dinnerĮdit 3: I'll be answering the final wave of questions this morning (9/18/09) but I have a plane to catch in a few hoursįinal edit: This has been fun guys, but I have to catch my plane. I'll answer any question that won't reveal my identity.Įdit: Going out for a bit, I'll get back to answering questions laterĮdit 2: This became a lot more popular than I thought it would. Inspired by this AMA, I won a considerably larger amount in 2001.
