REACTIONS with $$$$$

To end the week, we thought we'd put something interesting up. And something a bit different. 

It's been such a long week and everyone deserves to end the week with bit of laughter. 

So the first thing we thought of was some humor. As we have been talking what we would do with a million dollars, the "practical" side and also the splurging side.  But now lets look at people's reaction when they receive FREE MONEY !

It's not necessarily a million dollars but just 0.01% of a million dollars, which is $1000. Still money ! But maybe not worth so much today ?!







So after watching ... 

How do you think you would react ? Would you laugh it away ? or perhaps happily accept it ? 

We'd love to hear from you, so feel free to leave comments below. 



Hope everyone enjoys some laughter and have a good weekend :)

If I had a million dollars ...

I would use it to fund my creative pursuits. I would be able to quit university and start studying fashion design at a prestigious college. After that, I'd be able to fast-track my dreams of starting my very own fashion label. A million dollars would allow me to completely devote my life to artistic pursuits.

I have been interested in art and fashion for the longest time, yet I have barely had the time or opportunity to pursue it as a hobby. I'd be able to completely revamp my wardrobe and dress the way I want to with more ease and flexibility. Fashion is not a cheap hobby, at least not the kind of fashion that I'm talking about. Artisinal garments can cost up to a couple of thousand dollars, which sounds absurd to the average person. I mean, it sounds absurd even to me, but like I said, that's because I'm not able to afford it right now. 

Making art and taking photos are a few of the only things that I actually get any enjoyment out of doing nowadays, so being able to live comfortably and not worry about anything else except doing what I love would be the ideal way to spend my $1000000.

$1,000,000 Spent My Way

At the top of list would be to buy myself a holiday house that is not too fancy but just a place with a killer location where I can get away from everything. I could either organise family holidays or just keep it as a retreat for myself. Secondly, would be a personal chef that would cook me what ever my stomach desired. I am the type of person that loves food but hates cooking, mainly due to the amount of time it takes. So I think you can tell the excitement it would bring me if I could have perhaps a pizza when ever I wanted or be surprised with a pizza. Now I was tossing up between either a sea plane or a car and thought I would be going over if I have both. So I decided that I would buy a sports car and once I am sick of driving it, I would sell it for either a new car or the sea plane. Smart thinking hey ! This would bring some enjoyment going to and from work either by air or road.
Well that's me... Hope you enjoyed reading.

Lets CLEAR that ever growing bucket list




Everybody has some kind of bucket list !

If you don't, it's never too late to create one. You'll be amazed about how many things you would want to do. 

So for those who do have a list like I do, have you ever wondered sometimes when you'll ever be able to tick things off ? Because I certainly do. 

All I know how to do is add and add and add. That so called bucket list of mine has become a good book to look at to see how many things I have yet to do in my life. Which can be good motivation to get you up every morning in this chilly weather.

But if I had no worries in my life, lets just pretend I don't for now. Give me those dollars and I will spend spend spend on anything or everything on my bucket list. From sky diving to climbing that harbour bridge to flying a plane to travelling the world. I would have endless things to do, I probably won't even stop till my card has been declined. My list would never stop growing so if ever in one point was given a million dollars, I think I may just tick everything off my list.

OKAY ~ but I agree. This may not be the best practical way to spend those dollars. But it would definitely be very self indulging.

You only live once, so might as well enjoy it to the fullest.

Say $1,000 unexpectedly landed in your hands. How would you spend it?


Perhaps you’d hit the casino. Take your friends to the swankiest restaurant in town. Or splurge on those designer shoes you’ve been eyeing. But if the money’s here today and gone tomorrow.... 

Saving your winnings will protect them, however, they will likely be depleted over time. Investing your winnings can allow them to grow, earning you even more income on your initial investment. Wise investments can even provide a livable income, allowing you to live off of your winnings permanently....




Apart from investing, you can use your winnings to acquire assets. Assets are items, goods, or property that hold value over time and can solidify your winnings in these items. Acquiring these assets can be a great way to protect your winnings over time




If you are able and willing to, donating your money to a worthwhile cause can be a great way to put your winnings to work for the good of others. You can find a charitable organization that you support or offer your winnings as funding for specific endeavors you would like to see realized.

Letting myself go free with $1,000,000

If I had to spend a million dollars fast...what would I buy?

Would I buy a house, private jet or a lamborghini?

In one quick instance, my mind has been made. I would buy a house. A house close to the water and the city.


Why? Because I want to live in a place where I am able to feel calm and relaxed. A place that would make me forgot about the stressful things in life during the weekend but close to the city so it is easy to travel to work on weekdays.

Why not a private jet? A private jet would be nice as you can travel alone or with friends. However, a private jet would be too expensive to keep in the long run. Where would I store it? How much would the fuel cost? Who would fly me around? All these questions would constantly bother me if I were to purchase a jet.



Why not the Lamborghini? Haha...I'm still on my L's. If I were to drive it, I'll probably smash it. However I would consider buying a small new car. Something not too expensive...maybe a Toyota? There's so many new models of cars that I have no clue what to buy.




So out of those three choices, what you would buy with $1,000,000? If you want, comment below.
