$5000 a week }{ curious game-like thing.

[Bhu ♥ Irwin]

So, some of you know that I am deep into a sweepstakes where, if won, I would be paid $5000/wk for 120yrs (so, for the rest of my life). I have been annoying everyone I know with blatherings of what I could do with that money. They are all sick and tired of hearing it (my own mother said she would kick me from the house if I win because she doesn't want me to own her) so I think it is time I pester everyone here with my excited dreams that will probably never be given the wings in which to fly with.

Then I got to thinking, it isn't fair to spew out my own dreams, and then close my eyes and ears to the ideas of others. In fact, a dream of another may kindle a new dream of my own! So, with that, I am starting a playful little $5000 a week game.

Imagine you won the sweepstakes and now get paid $5000 weekly, which adds up to $20,000 monthly, and a wopping $240,000 annually. What would you do with it? You can post in any fashion, and as many times as you want. The ideas could be silly ("I would save up and then buy all the reesies pieces in the world!") or serious ("I would donate every penny to my local animal shelter, then live off whatever meager wage I make at any actual job.") Maybe you post several thoughts and you think you're done, then someone else posts their desires and suddenly you are swamped with a hundred new ideas of what you would do. You don't have to edit your posts (which would put those new ideas at risk of never being seen), just post again! <3

Ready, set, SPEND!

I would make it a mission to dedicate $2000 per month to charities. It may seem like only a little portion of the monthly profit of $20,000 but I am a selfish being and $2000 a month is more than most people give! I would split that to be $1500 towards animal charities per month, $500 towards human charities.

I would also use a large portion to pay all my sister's and parent's bills, plus buy all the groceries for the house. My family will be able to live in luxary while I live with them, and be free of debt even after I move out.

I would put all money that I do not spend during the week straight into my savings account, to be saved for the Appalachian Trail, college, and all future financial needs (house, car, ect).

I will purchase all top notch backpacking equipment that will make the Appalachian Trail (and long distance trips after that) more comfortable for my dog.

I will treat my friends and family to random (frequent) gifts. This will include nice vacations (with or without me, their choice), dinners, and objects.

My animals will always recieve the absolute best medical care that this world can provide; even if I have to break into my savings fund and fly them to Guam for topnotch procedures.

I will purchase my family and me the very best desktop computers known to man at this time (we prefer desktop computers over laptops). No more slow internet or lack of space on the harddrive.

I will bury myself in Jurassic Park memrobilia, including actual movie props. This is in addition to all the PC games they have made.

MORE TO COME, DINNER TIME.

I would donate $5,000 a month (so one week's worth) to charities. $2,500 to human charities and $2,500 to animal charities.

I would purchase all the Sims expansion packs and Sims shop content - some anyway.

I would buy enough crowns to finally buy aaallll the areas in my Wizard101 game.

I would purchase a bunch of Furcadian digos (whenever they go on sale, cuz there is NO WAY I'm paying full price on them, even with $5,000 a week) for myself and friends.

I would get my family out of debt entirely, then purchase a house so we don't have to live in our crappy apartment.

I would buy a round-the-world trip one summer for my mom and I. We'd go to Australia, Ireland, Scotland, France, England, Japan, Egypt, Nigeria, Ethopia, Greece, Italy, Romania, Russia, China, and all fifty states in the U.S.

I would buy myself an awesome laptop, get my dad a laptop and internet for on the road, and get some of the games my mom wants on the computer.

I would pay for our maid myself and buy myself a car, as well as buy my family a new car.

I would buy materials so I could start creating high-quality online games, most for free but a few so I could sell them cheap.

I would put anything not used in a savings account for the future. For every thousand dollars I got, I would give $100 to a charity (alternating between human and animal charities).
I would also pay my tithing... each week I'd have to pay $500 dollars (think I could skip the weeks I give to charity? )

DISCLAIMER: None of these things were inspired by Kunabee, I just didn't have time to write them out earlier. And,yes, this is my uncontrolable pride speaking, haha.



I would pay my $500 tithe each week. There is no question about this.

I would buy all the SIMS games (this includes the SIMSAnimals).

I would buy access to everything on Runescape, Wizard101, and MonkeyQuest.

I will fund a trip for Ilyich and I to go to Colorado and meet up with Kunabee. I want to meet everyone on BT, but these are the two I have promised ever since the beginning of BT.

I will fully fund an expedition up Mt. Everest for Ilyich and me.

I would finally open my Second Chance "Pit Bull" Rescue. This is a dream of mine I have always had; dogs who have been forced to fight, or used as bait or breeding dogs for fighting, will be given a home based on their specific needs. If they can be rehabilitated and rehomed, they will; if not, they will live a life with me. The dogs who are not dog friendly will have their own personal house. Social dogs will be allowed to form their own bonds/packs and live with their several houses to split up by their own choices. The dogs who desire it will recieve personal attention daily. No dog will ever be murdered for things that are beyond their control; they do not have a say in their past and should not b punished for it. Adoption fee will be small or nonexistant, but there will be VERY EXTENSIVE investigation of all home applicants, to be assured every dog gets their chance at a perfect home.

I will make the best dang version three of Broken Truths this worlds this world could ever fathom. Nothing but the best for my family <3

I would buy everyone on BT the laptop or desktop PC/Mac of their choice!

I will fund contests that reward members with real things; money or actual objects!

I will let my daddy quit his job and support him for as long as he needs before he finds a job he actually enjoys (he would go stircrazy if he had no job ever).

I would buy my mommy a Greenhouse.

INSPIRED BY BHU!

I would start my "Love Effect" program, teaching tolerance, acceptance, love and unbiased FACTS in all things. Animals and people both. It would also allow others to donate to charities of their choice, through a potentionally easier, less time-consuming and still-safe way.

INSPIRED BY MY LOVE FOR HANKETTE (formally known as Hank).



I would start a turtle rescue IMMEDIATELY. My ma said I could not have any snakes, giant hissing cockroaches, tarantulas, or scorpions while I live with her, but she has tolerated (and even come to appreciate) Hankette for some time. I will build on this. You would be surprised how many turtles get given up each year and sent to pounds; problem in, so few pounds take in turtles, so there are limited spots available. This leaves turtle "owners" to do the unthinkable; they release the turtles. Most people think turtles are like snakes or whatnot, that they just know how to survive, but that isn't true. A captive raised turtle will not survive without a miracle of God! So released turtles that were not taken from the wild at an older age die more times than not. So, I will find all these pounds that do take in turtles, and adopt them. With my money, I will have a great home built for them. Hankette, of course, will always remain my baby. She will be the one brought inside during unfavorable weather, or simply when her or I are lonely, to sleep with me as she always has. The other turtles, however, will be living in a green house of sorts. Separated by breed and gender, they will be given environments that are made to suit their specific needs. Of course, I will combine some breeds. Female box turtles will be allowed to coexist with female painted turtles, because they would in the wild. I would always have word out that I am willing to adopt out any turtle after extensive research to be sure the turtle is going to a good home, but most turtles will, undoubtedly, not be adopted, and that is okay. They can live out their 50+ years in my care and I will love them unconditionally <3

Edamame is the only thing on earth you can live on. You eat edamame and water, nothing else, you'll be okay. It tastes better than even ice cream omo So, if I made $5000/wk, I would live on nothing but edamame. Sure, if go out with the family and the place doesn't sell it, I will get something else. But edamame will be the food I make myself. The only food o.o

This is a lot to think about, because I have never planned on living in luxury. As it is my dream and I believe my destiny chosen by God, to be a Youth Pastor, I know I wouldn't make much money and I only want to live for Him, anyway I don't want to live too selfishly, but having this money would help me a lot.

First, I would set aside $5,000 every month for charities. I would donate to World Vision, As Our Own, and any others that I find along the way. I would donate to SPCA and no kill shelters, and also find a Pit Bull charity to give to.

Of course, I would also donate to various churches, one of which the church I have found my faith and grown in God with; the church in my hometown.

I would live on Project 7 products, meaning I would buy their water (only), gum, mints, and clothing. I'm not a fan of coffee, but I would buy it for other people, probably.

I would buy small houses in Houston, Texas and the town I grew up in. I would also buy a ranch house with tons of land around it. I don't know where this, my regular house, would be, but I'm thinking either California or Colorado.
--I go to Houston every summer on a Mission Trip because of it's various problems, so if I had a house there I would be able to be mission there all the time.

I would set aside a certain amount of money for savings and college.

Of course, I would help my parents with bills, and my brother. Lord knows how I love them. I would also gift them often with all sorts of things, especially trips.

[I L Y I C H]

This is a lot to think about, and I'm with moon here. The military is great and all but rich it will not make me.

First off I would return to my precious Whitaker ranch and support her currently drowning rehab/rescue center. In fact for the first few months this is most likely the place to have the most spent on it (as she always has something to 50 animals).

5,000 a month would be sent off to causes be them animal, humanitarian, or environmental. I already spend far too much time haggling in the political arena in these issues and being able to help in an actually helpful way (curse you capitalism) would be brilliant.

Marriage I: and plane tickets to where ever we end up going for anyone who wants one.

I would save up and begin purchasing and or building apartment complexes in the nation's more pained cities and setting up families with a cheep clean place to live.

All student loans would be payed off I: I owe something around 20,000 -.- Ash owes more then I do. Jazz actually is better off then us but screw her she will accept my money anyway.

Stealing cost of Everest trip from bhu (and training) with the tag that I be allowed to stalk tag along on the Appalachian trip (though I would pay for all my own gear of course)

I would go on a massive political spree in which I helped my favorite PAC's and organizations with both time and money.

Any of the 5,000 not spent in a week (minus the first week of the month going to charity) will be hoarded away into my bank account which will be over joyed to have something in it besides flies.

I WOULD NEVER RUN OUT OF MEDS AGAAAAAIIIIINNNNN
(shut up this is a big deal to me I run out constantly)

and holy snot I could actually afford decent medical coverage for everyone D: and get a doctor and a therapist I actually like instead of the under payed hospital guys I have now. (who are better then the old two but still pretty much suck)


EDIT
Oh! Forgot my OYA! I already spend almost 24 hours a week there or helping out on other fronts xD But with 5,000 a week they would come into some serious donation pools I:

[Kunabee]

Inspired by BHU and ILY:

I would buy massive amounts of edamame until our fridge is half-filled with it. And eat it all.

I would also never ever run out of milk and chocolate syrup again, so then I can have chocolate milk FOREVER.

I would also hunt around/make/buy a froyo with the health of Yoplait yoghurt (light) and the taste of ice cream.

Once a month my family gets to go out to eat wherever they want. Just as long as I pay but don't get dragged to Mexican restraunts.
Watching people eat food that makes me feel a little sick is not fun

[Moon]

Just for funsies, I would have an extremely large blanket fort that could be taken down in my backyard for movie marathons and sleepovers <3

[Bhu ♥ Irwin]

Moon....I would help fund such a fort o.o And we could have an underground tunnel system with little Gator/ATV type vehicles that lead to all our houses...and we would all have our own massive blanket forts o.o

These were the things I imagined as a child....ah, forget that, I STILL imagine underground tunnels to all my friend's blanket kingdoms ;)

[Kunabee]

YES.
A MILLION BILLION
TRILLION
QUADRILLION TIMES YES!!!!!!!!!!!!
