    So, if you were given 10,000 euro in the morning, what would you do with it?
    Go travelling? Buy...what?

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,800 ✭✭✭Senna


    I'd probably head over to the UK and buy a newish car for a hell-of-a-lot less than here, keeping a few grand for VRT:mad: Bastards


    AH answer; Coke and Hookers


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 31,859 ✭✭✭✭Sharpshooter

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,789 ✭✭✭✭keane2097


    Unfortunately, I'd be forced to pay off debts I'd say...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,534 ✭✭✭SV

    You're just looking for suggestions for a frivolous way of spending it so are you? Like going to Las Vegas or buying an enormous wheel of cheese?

    I do like your plan of travelling though MIN, but I'd wanna go for way longer than 3 months :(


  • Moderators, Regional East Moderators Posts: 21,504 Mod ✭✭✭✭Agent Smith


    i'd Put it towards a deposit on a house.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 26,584 ✭✭✭✭Creamy Goodness


    i'd blow it easily on these:

    Canon 5DMkII with 24-105 lens
    Canon 85mm lens
    Canon 24-70mm lens
    Canon 70-200mm lens

    comes to a total of: €7,024.88

    enough left over to buy this

    Gretsch White Falcon

    i'd have 325.12 euro to then spend on a hooker.

    Most natural thing :D

    Ah, forget Vegas... We have our own Sporting Emporium in Dublin :)

    It's my dream to go for 3 months, anything longer and i will be home sick :(
    Been planning it for a while now, now i just need to clear my debts then i can start saving towards it


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 441 ✭✭Kieo


    wouldn't put it into a bank thats for sure!!:eek:

    I would agree with you, but the expected duration of the R has to be accounted for, scale of valuation drop etc. But you may also spend too much time being cautious, that you are no longer worth a gamble to mortgage lenders due to your age.

    Either way, nothing is certain. So either stuff your mattress, or have yourself some fancy toilet roll for a couple of years. It would buy you fock all ITCEC.

    The OP is one of those secret millionaires. He's actually going to give the ten grand to the people who come up with the most original and interesting ideas.

    Unfortunately you only get one shot and you blew it Ruu.

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 10,367 ✭✭✭✭watna


    I'd pay off my credit card and fly home for three weeks in Dublin to eat, drink, shop and catching up with friends/family.

    or

    €10,000 is about $23,000 and is enough for a 10% deposit on an apartment in Wellington so I'd be very tempted to put it towards that.

    They're pretty boring answers really. Man - I'd love is someone gave me 10 grand. It would make my life so much easier!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,311 ✭✭✭✭Quazzie


    I'd put it all in the credit union and then add to it consistently for three months before getting the biggest loan they will give me then leave the country forever. :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,153 ✭✭✭Rented Mule


    €10,000 sounds like a very 'interesting' extended weekend in Amsterdam to me.

    I was going to say something sensible!!!... but spend it in one day cause im Irish. Its a typical Irish attitude towards money. As the germans say we cant handle money when we have it.

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 440 ✭✭3qsmavrod5twfe


    Most likely spend it on turning myself into a quivering mess - sort of like Ozzy Osbourne.

    That or spend it on bailing myself out of prison after they catch me exposing myself in the local nunnery. Fun times!:D

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 28,789 ✭✭✭✭ScumLord


    I'd finish off my plan to visit every country in the EU and wouldn't come back till it was all gone. Should last me 2 months if I'm frugal.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,476 ✭✭✭Mr.Lizard


    I'd convert it into 1,000,000 1cent coins and then glue them altogether into a impressive sculpture of some kind. Possibly Brian Cowens arse.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 4,193 ✭✭✭Turd Ferguson


    I'd rent Paris Hilton for a few days and make her shave my ass
