I'm not quite sure whether i've asked this already, but with 30 mill, who would keep a regular day job, and who would pack it all in and vegitate?

I think i would keep a job, but i don't want to be one of those people that has butlers and nannies raising their children, so i'm not sure, i would like to think i would work though.

I'd probably do stuff for my mum and family...Buy a house, car...Motorbike
After that, I'd donate a few million to the RSPCA and Animal Welfare League...Pay for Tafe...And buy my beloved playstation back

I think I'd still work though...I can't stand not doing anything for even a short period of time...Even if it were only volunteer stuff, I'd still do it...

Better idea: I'd open a restaurant! I'd have to wait a bit to see a profit though

One of my friends told me an investment in a hotel is a bad idea. He says it will take four years before you start to see a real proffit, and you can't always depend on someone to stay at a fancy hotel because they are so bloody expensive.

Yeah, hotels make very little money in the beginning, unless they are in a high profit area, like Miami or Hawaii, because everyone wants a hotel!!! But anywhere else, you'd be losing money like it were on fire.

Not nesicarily.

See, the key to making good money with a hotel is not nescicarily location as in like, cities; but its all about location as in what surrounds it.
EX 1. The Peabody (Example that ive used six hundred n fitty times before), Here in Memphis, there is the Peabody. Very nice hotel, In the heart of downtown Memphis, which is a city like home anyways, more like a replica. This hotel, is walking distance away from Beale Street, (Which is like New Orleans's Bourban Street) Hueys, The Rendevous, A million bars and things. Boom. Perfect Enviornment, The Hotel itself has an unbelievable good enviornment. Its clean, has a freindly ass staff, has the coolest valet guys youve ever seen, and the rooms are like, perfect. In addition to all of that, Its connected to a Mini-Mall, owned by Peabody themselves, called the Peabody Place, Which contains a lot of stores, AND a bar and game room called Jillians (HUGE!!!). And the Rendevous is in an alleyway, in a basement, but people eat there because the food is great (Its a BBQ place), and the waiters and people like that are so friendly becasue they love their job.

Hotel + Location + Cool City = $$,$$$,$$$,$$$

Of course they're rich, becasue they put a hotel where veryone wants to be, and freindly service witha smile and people that you can actually converse with, and that makes them money.

They can even prove it, because they have a $51,000 Lincoln Town Car, for their beloved ducks. Yes, ducks; dont get me started on that..

I can see how sedans beloved hotel could make a lot of money, but is this feasable for 30 million dollars. I know that my NZD30 million is about USD55 Million but that's still gotta be a stretch too doesn't it. It is kinda hard because we all have a different idea of the value of 30 million though.

But i do like the restaurant idea, yes it would take time to earn your proffit but if you get good staff and service it still isn't brilliant. The restaurant / Bar my dad manages only makes about 150,000 proffit a year, in NZ currency, you'll have to figure it out personally, but it's ridiculous how little it makes for the work he puts in.

[Harlequin]

The Peabody is successful, yes, but don't forget that its been around for over one hundred years! It'ss a bloody heritage site!!! When a hotel first starts out, they lose so much money it's unbelievable!!! Whereas a restaurant tends to lose two to three thousand dollars, hotels lose ten times more...Sometimes up to a hundred thousand dollars a year. The hospitality industry is the most expensive to run, due to so many aspects. Maybe a Bed and Breakfast would be more likely to succeed, depending on the area...

Australian currency = NZ currency + two cents...I think...lol! Not a lot of difference!
But I have my entire career planned out, and its all around the restaurant!!! $150,000 isn't bad though...There's a block of restaurants near where I live, and the only reason two of them are open is because they're a chain. One is incredibly successful (I love it!!!) and the other is never the same thing for more than six months!!! Its amusing to me, especially since my area is a big metropolis for decent cuisine!

I love hard work too...I think me and your dad have something in common...I hate not doing something, so I think I might be fairly suited to the kitchen...Plus I can cook, which is always a plus for a chef...

1 Australian dollar is about 1.20 New Zealand dollars

[madness]

To be more precise
1 NZD = 0.823409 AUD
It used to be so much more different.
But the Australian dollar has gone psyco.

...I would probably buy something like 3D Game Studio, and try to use it to put together a WWII shooter that has a storyline...

Perhaps you could employ (hire) some game developers too...

There is an idea that genuinely did not occur to me. LOL! I hope we can share our work via the Internet, because they are not coming with me in the motor home vehicle thing.

3D Game Studios a fairly respected game development kit. But you can do a lot more with valve's source engine.

Oh. Thank you for the reply, boss. That sounds cool. I did not know about that. Some people in a message board thing online were crediting Valve's digital distribution of software (Steam?) for preventing the death of PC gaming altogether. That sounded a bit dramatic to me. I did not know PC gaming was in such a precarious state. There is my tombstone inscription thing, or whatever they call the words carved into one: He did not know.

I'm not quite sure whether i've asked this already, but with 30 mill, who would keep a regular day job, and who would pack it all in and vegitate?

I used to think that if such a thing were to happen to me, I would spend some time getting crappy jobs and being fired from each for telling off the supervisors when they act like jerks. Like, they think you have to take it because you are dependant on your job, but you are not. I guess I might not be thinking about that sort of thing very much anymore if I became rich like this, except for the sort of thinking that might be in regard to the situations of others and how to affect some sort of change for them.

It seems kind of funny that I think I would have to be rich before I could make a worthwhile difference

Man, Harlequin, it sounds as if you might possibly care a little too much about what many could easily call the right things, and you sound far too ambitious and industrious. I am afraid you shall need to be destroyed as well.

Miller! you can't destroy me! I'm your fellow old person!!!
Lol! I wuv my mummy!!! Big deal! I'm a mummy's girl!
Fine, I'll be selfish. I'll buy...a Kawasaki...but it has to be blue. Lol! And bumblebee, from Transformers...Like, the car, not actually Bumblebee...Lol! Still buy a house and restaurant though. Is that what you want to hear? My selfish requests? Lol!

The place down the road hasn't changed its name once. Just what it cooks and who owns it...Actually, I don't even know if it has a sign anymore...
It's a real pity, because before they opened there'd be all these great smells coming from the asian restaurant and the italian restaurant, and now its just crap. I'm quite thankful for the McDonalds fumes covering it up!

[Miller]

Miller! you can't destroy me! I'm your fellow old person!!!

Oh, yeah, man. I guess that I forgot. I need to be more alliance-oriented in life, I think.

See? I knew it. I never do think these messages through well enough before submitting them. And I guess I should not go about frivolously destroying people, either. After further consideration, I should think it would quite likely be in bad form. At the time it seemed crucial.

It is funny that you mentioned the restaurant name not changing, Harlequin. I was looking at my previous post earlier while straining to detach myself from it, and I thought to myself,

[Harlequin]

Yeah, man. LOL! That is the stuff, then.

One of my brothers had a blue Kawasaki. He was an excellent motorcycle rider. All of my brothers were, really. I could never even keep up with them in the desert, and I was afraid to ride with any of them on the street.

Thankyou for accepting my selfish request
Its nice to see someone that respects a good bike these days
