With $100k I think I'd pack all my stuff into storage (it probably *could* all fit in a dumpster) and spend about half of that money buggering off around the world travelling. Only to the English-speaking parts though, because I'm lazy. I figure that with a lifetime of drudgery and disappointment ahead of me I might as well do something fun. Also, I figure along the way I might find somewhere I like, so I'd have to spend another $5k convincing some unlucky chick into a marriage of convenience so I could stay. Who knows what wacky shenanigans will ensue. By that point my life story should be cheesy (and cliché) enough that the screenplay practically writes itself. Once I've flogged it to Michael Bay for millions of dollars and won the Best Original Screenplay Oscar, I should have enough for all the hookers and blow to last me a lifetime.

Wow you really thought that one out. I think I'd also buy a pet monkey. Imagine how much fun it would be to teach your monkey to flip people off and take a shit on someone's head you don't like

I might invest it in WWE and become a John Cena supporter. I would never be able to respect myself ever again, though.

Well, you'd be successful MS so I can't knock you for that. Cena is $$$

Ok, let's up the acme. What if you had $200,000? (roughly £100,000 for us Ucks)

If I had 200,000 I'd do the same as if I had $100,000 except I'd have more video games and an awesome car

A down payment on a nice house (with foreclosures running abundant around here 208,000 will get you a sweet 4 bedroom) and then save up for gas money.

High gas prices + stupid war + shitty economy = an election where no one will do shit for another four years.

I love how Hilary and Obama THINK they are going to turn everything around for the better in the next 4 years. Meanwhile McCain is going to be the next president and they are too fuckin stupid to realize that they are splitting the democratic vote for McCain to skate right by. McCain isn't going to change shit. I'd still rather have him over Hilary Cunton and Obama Bin Laden any day

Its to bad Mr. Clinton isn't running. He did wonders for our economy. And at this point I don't care if he lies about a blow job again I just want prices to go back down.
Hilary I guess decided she is some kind of politician but forgot her place is in the kitchen. She was the least qualified of the dems.
Obama has some good ideas but I have no idea if he would actually implement them.
McCain is Bush 2.0 and I want him far away from DC.
Some of our problems are easy to fix and some are hard. With gas prices how about a little negotiations with South America and in the mean time lets use some of our own from Texas and maybe some from Canada.
The economy will get better from gas prices because then some of the poorer people laid off for whatever reason can actually afford to go to the pump and then to a job interview.We'll cut down on the foreclosures and then our lumberjacks and mill workers will get continually paid as well as our home builders.
The war is a tricky. Do we pull out and have 4000+ soldiers die in vain (which is very small compared to every other major war we've had as a country) for the sake of popularity? It would make me sleep easier at night but as some point I have to stop being selfish. Its also mostly the Iraqis faults we're still there for not taking control of they're own government with they're new trained military. Chances are they will get overrun fairly quickly after we leave. Not that I give a shit about any middle eastern country. They can all choke to death for all I care.

Dude since I made that post about the gas prices it just jumped up another 10 cents to $4.19 a gallon for REGULAR. Super is going for about $4.45. This is fuckin insane! Gas is taking a chunk out of many incomes and is totally fucking up the means we used to live up to. Instead of buying a steak to cook for dinner, you have to put the money aside so you'll be able to buy gas. Or instead of buying a new video game you need the money for gas. Instead of saving up your money and moving out(me), I'd be better off financially paying the electric and cable bill than gas. It's almost like a crime we can't do anything about

£100,000. Dunno. It's kind of a case where it's enough money to make things easier but not enough to really make a difference. You could pay off a chunk of your mortgage but it's not enough to buy a house, for example. I guess I'd still do the trip and bang Ashley twice*.
*I would not do this.
