If you won the lottery for $500Million....

[Number 10 GI]

what is the absolute LAST thing you would think about buying?

Don't want to know what you would buy, want to know the one thing you wouldn't even give a second of consideration towards when thinking about what to buy. If someone lists something they wouldn't buy, that would be your first consideration for purchase, don't justify why you think is is cool to own it. Just interested in what you aren't interested in.

Me, a boat! The earlier thread on boats reminded me why I don't want to own one. Went out with some friends one time who had a very nice inboard/outboard ski boat. I was bored to death after two hours. If I didn't have such a strong desire to live I would have jumped over board and drowned myself. If you own a boat I'm very happy for you, the industry employs thousands of people for which I'm grateful so don't take it personal.

What wouldn't be on your list?

[davem4616]

a Chrysler product

[manaboutown]

I agree about a boat although this one might be appealing. Shad Khan’s luxury yacht '''Kismet’ for sale for $199M (https://www.news4jax.com/news/local/2020/10/07/shad-khans-luxury-yacht-kismet-for-sale/?fbclid=IwAR0yxPs7WOaTOHC9CST-h7pdiUwEJbIZTGd6_ZPIo__9gKW4e1ac6YQfHNU)

Of course after losing about half of it to taxes there would not be enough left to both buy and operate the yacht.

[Toymeister]

I don't think that we would buy another home. We like what we have.

More money would not make us new people. I think I would buy the kids larger homes so they would have a room for us to visit.

[Rapscallion St Croix]

Being frugal and a student of probability, I would never buy another lottery ticket

[manaboutown]

With that kind of money I might lease or buy a Gulfstream G650 to get from here to there, at least during the China coronavirus pandemic.

[rustyp]

Another house in Florida !

Interesting post about taxes - so move to the UK ,,,,,, all gambling winnings are free of tax, and as a UK citizen I would invoke article 61 of the USA/UK dual taxation agreement to pay no tax on the winnings at all - I have experience of this when I hit a big one at Tampa Bay Downs ...sent back the 1040 with the notice of deduction and the IRS sent me a check !! Whooppeee !!!!

I love this question. I've been racking my brain trying to come up with my answer.

I'll get back to you :undecided:

[BS Beef]

Ok, the best I can come up with I wouldn't try to buy my kids happiness. I think you need to be self sufficient to be truly happy.

I really wanted to come up with something clever or funny like....an electric dog polisher.

Also a boat. We were sailors for 22 years, moving up in boat size à la two-feetitus syndrome to 38 feet. We loved being on the water and sailing Lakes Michigan and Huron, the peacefulness of anchoring out and adventure of sailing to new places in terrible weather and too much or not enough wind. But the boat maintenance finally tired us out. Not to mention the physical exertion of the act of sailing. I miss it but sorry, not sorry.

If one doesn't like paying US Taxes, maybe one should move back to the UK, and not use the services provided by the taxing authorities in the US. Also if you are in the states for more than 183 days The UK/ US Double tax treaty states you are subject to US Tax, best of luck to you.
