Bank error in your favour

So here we are at the end of another financial year, asking the important questions. If you suddenly found a couple of million dollars in your account, what would you do with it? You want to hear my thoughts on the topic? Naw, you're so sweet. I'll tell you then.

If I suddenly found myself slapped with more hundys than days in a decade I would have to say that I would go shopping. People say that money can't make you happy, but I beg to differ. If I had that much money, I would be happy. Now I know most of you are sitting there thinking Man is that dude superficial or what? Well the answer is, yes I kinda am. I'm sorry but if someone came to me and said "Hey, you know what? I am going to solve the vast majority of your problems by fixing up your financial state" I would have to go "Tits yeah!!!" Let's face it, we all want to not have to think about money. I wouldn't spend it all right away of course. I would go and buy myself some serious suits (because that's all that rich dudes wear) and some new socks and undies. You never realise how much socks and undies cost until you have none and have to fork out 30 bucks just to keep from commando-ing for the next two days.

I know people say "I would donate most of it to charity" But to me, that just sounds like you can't think of what to spend it on. I would rather have some sort of high interest trust fund from which a certain amount is deducted every week to pay charities. And here you were thinking that I wouldn't give anything back. But I would have to set myself up. That money would run out eventually and if I had spent it all, I would have next to nothing to show for it. So high interest accounts and investment properties would be the first on my list, after shopping for clothes of course. The next thing would be to set up my family. Mortgages paid and houses bought, leaving them in a good financial position as well. That way everyone is happy.

My mind would then wander. What else can I spend this money on? Well useless crap aside (nerfs and what not) I would have to look into the things I have been wanting to do. A new computer for my writing and photo editing, a new tv for size, the newest phone to keep up with the Joneses (a saying which always made me feel special). I think the vast majority of my money would have to be ear-marked for my sons future. Trust funds and schooling funds. I mean, ultimately, isn't providing for your family better than anything else (apart from nerfs?)
