If you got the check today, what would you do for the rest of your life?

I assume you would pay off debts of fmaily, friends, buy some houses for those people, basically take care of those around you, donate to CSFMB, etc, but what would you do after that thas happened?

would buy a mansion (not a neverland ranch type mansion just a normal giant house)
would buy a few cars
would help immediate family with debts
would find a financial guy to assist with managing the rest
would probably go to part time at work

I'd buy a radio frequency band, build out a studio, and we'd bring CSFMB radio to the world! WCMB, All Chicago Sports Radio Media Talk, all the time. That'd work as a bumper, right?

No. 1 has to be to enter the witness protection program.

That seems to be a popular thing for people to do later in life these days. Last fall, a friend and I got invited to Chappellet Winery in Napa Valley for the release party of their high end Cab, Pritchard Hill. We got a cheap flight on Spirit and went for just the day. A friend loaned us her house in St. Helena, we stayed overnight and came back the next morning. Anyway, at the Pritchard Hill tasting we met this couple from Texas who came out to Napa to go to culinary school. The woman was a really successful realtor and the guy was a rich businessman. The guy was definitely older than I am and the woman was probably about as old as you, Spaulding. They were very interesting people.

The rest of the story is that when we got back our wives said, "You know everyone there thought you guys were gay, right?." We were like, "Really? You think so? Can't be. We're not good looking enough."

Trying to think of a lineup. I know somewhere there has to be a "Happy Hour with Jen Mariko". Maybe she does updates?

Take it one step further.

Build it out in the RV or Semi, so its always a road show! Like the idea~!

It makes sense. It's something I think a lot of people would love to do but to earn a living at it is hard and it's shit hours. Opening a restaurant or specialty store is a dream that many never fulfill. Tuition is expensive also. When I was looking at colleges I thought about it but it made more sense to get an engr degree and go from there. I know I can earn a living but never liked it. I'm not a huge risk taker though. It all worked out but it's always going to be something I'm a little sad about.

I think I'd volunteer at an animal shelter or something like that too. Maybe get certified to become a yoga instructor but that takes years and years. I don't know if I'd have the drive even if I had the money. I'd paint and draw more too. Probably take some interior design classes and see if that went anywhere.

I would spend my days walking around regular people and handing out 5000.00 cashier checks where I saw fit.

i'd give most of it away.

i'd set myself up to not be reliant upon working ever again. I'd travel the world trying to help people. i'd also attempt to fish professionally (walleye)

Keep it all for myself and blow most of it on cool shit that I don't need.

Nice.



Nice.



Nice!
