If you had a million Euro/Dollars, what would you do with it?
Basically, I'd live off it. I'd use it so that I didn't have to worry about paying bills & worry about the finances of my family. I don't have big materialistic ambitions.
If you could have the perfect job, what would it be?
That would come from being able to live off that million mentioned above (hence why I swopped the questions around!) so that I could do some meaningful volunteer work where you aren't stuck in some rat-race chasing your tail 24/7...
If you could learn something new, what would you choose?
How to be more practical. I have more of an academic mind: anything practical & I'm a total klutz!! |

Re: What's your dream?

Getting paid to travel and write.

Buy a house without needing a mortgage, then stick the rest in a high-interest bank as a retirement fund. If you'd said a million POUNDS I'd be able to have a bit more fun, because of course that's more money!
If you could learn something new, what would you choose?
How to play bass... actually any musical instrument would be great, but on account of being tall and skinny I look pretty cool holding an electric bass. Sadly I don't have the necessary opposable thumb on my left hand. Ah, well.

Hey man, you can still learn to play bass with your right hand! You don't need an opposable thumb to pluck a bass. I play both guitar and bass and know for a fact that you can get away with not using your thumb when playing bass right-handed. You should give it a shot! |

My perfect job- Something on the business side of this industry:

If I had a million dollars- I'm so tempted to use the Office Space line here hehe (If you don't know what I mean, I'll elaborate later hehe)... Pay my debts, buy my dad a winter home in Florida or Mississippi (where he wants to go), and buy some horses. That and travel the world. I've never left the U.S. beyond Canada or Mexico.

True, yeah. Thing is, though, having gone through the first 22 years of my life without ever using my left hand for anything (well, it's not just a useless, lifeless stump obviously, but you know what I mean), I've got the most staggeringly bad co-ordination of it you could possibly imagine. Maybe one day it'll happen. Thanks for the encouragement!

If you could have the perfect job, what would it be?
Perfect job: Getting ready to have it. Being a sports journalist has been my dream since I was a little kid and I've already covered a major motorsports event for a newspaper (Indianapolis 500). I think I was born to do this.
If you had a million Euro/Dollars, what would you do with it?
Pay off college tuition for me and my sister. Take some of it and invest for the future. Buy my mom and dad their dream cars. If there's anything left after that, a 'black devil' Corvette for myself.
If you could learn something new, what would you choose?
Learn how to speak Spanish fluently and play an instrument other than my baritone voice.

If you could have the perfect job, what would it be?
Some of you might know I'm a big motorsports enthousiast (two wheeled that is, four wheels are not interesting enough  ) and that I already achieved the perfect job although parttime. The perfect job would be doing the motorsportjournalism fulltime (and being recognized for what you do).
If you had a million Euro/Dollars, what would you do with it?
Maybe a bit selfish but first I would get myself a nice detached house. Not too big, just big enough to fill it with my stuff then i would get myself a new bike (Honda CBR600RR, Aprilia RSV Mile, MV Agusta of maybe a Petronas). After that a car for the transportation of bigger stuff and possible future children (I really dig the new Honda Civic).
Then the fun part  Getting myself a Dodge Charger and make it just like the General Lee - Yihaw (ps. for the moralists - the rebel flag holds no other meaning to me than being on the roof of the General Lee). Besides that I would like to have a small chalet somewhere in the Alpes so I can go skiing whenever I like to.
Of course I would make it a lot easier for my family and best friends and the rest (if I have anything left) goes to the bank.
If you could learn something new, what would you choose?
There's so much I would like to learn.
- Better interviewing techniques (just started doing them)
- Learning to play bass a lot better then I'm doing now
- Learning Italian and Spanish (there are just too many darn Italians and Spaniards in motorcycling)
- Dragging my knee while taking a corner, doing a wheely
- and probably some stuff I can't think of right now .... |

We all have dreams. Would you like to share your dream with the Jamily? If so, would be nice to hear it!

Deja, love the idea of thousands of horses!
If I won that amount of cash...after they take out taxes...i would give a percent away, bye bye $$, and then I would also like to help animals in some way. I like the idea of an animal sanctuary for those that would be sent to a slaughter otherwise. I'd have to travel.
@ donkeykong once u spend all that cash on all those drugs you won't have enough for the chauffeur.  |

The perfect job - Music in every way possible combined with a teachprogram for politics how to live in a world without money and to stop beeing just so stupid
With the million euros/dollars i would i'd invest in nature, specially lions, the rest of my money i would give away to communities that don't abuse the green papers, those who acually need a dollar to stay alive, i don't give a **** about spoiling myself, the world is to focused on "me me me" but i love the ancient quote ''it's better to give then to receive''.
If I could learn something how to cope with a broken heart cause of someone u loved/love, that's a thing i can't figure out
but most of it i'm working on what i just mentioned, cause 'dreamers are creators of reality'
cool topic btw

VI, i'd volunteer more too. That would be great to have no worries and pay off all the bills. (not that I have too many)
Jay_F: it is better to give. And the best way to cope with a broken heart is to go somewhere else. Get out of town, take a road trip, go take pictures of nature and see if there's something to see. Sometimes a new environment is needed to cope with that. Sorry. 
If I could learn something new, I would learn the Tango. And my dream job: a mum. |

The perfect job - nothingdoer I'm serious. anyway it's better to have ur own bussines (i love advertisment especially in short movies)
The million euros/dollars i would invest it in smth what could bring me billions of dollars the 1st waste is a trip to the moon and around our galaxy 
I would learn how to cope with my terrible character, i don't wanna offend smb anymore; how to find my own way; how to never regret; how to be punctual and not so spontanous, how to sleep less.
others things are easy to be learnt
