Lottery ridiculousness! Help me spend my money!
January 26th 2008 by D in Blowing MoneyI’ve been pretty angry this last week. Some stuff going on in my personal life. I want to splurge my ass off for a couple days. What would be a good way for me to be the typical millionaire lottery winner asshole? Please suggest here, I’m not very good at spending my money I’ve always been so good with it.

Haha, you can help me out…
Well, I would say a vacation could do you wonders. Like take a trip to France or Spain by yourself or with a friend. Pamper yourself outrageously, eat great food, drink great wine and have a good time. A change of scenery would do you good.
That’s my humble suggestion anyway.
hmm besides giving me a million dollars? I second the vacation to a foreign country go for a nice long vacation and I bet you will feel better!
If you really want to feel better, don’t just buy ’stuff’. It’s winter, go buy a whole bunch of new winter coats and give it to a coat drive.
Or
I bet you’d be pretty popular at a gentleman’s club?
i would be ken, but would I be dancing or paying? I haven’t said if I’m male or female yet
you my dearest D are most positively male
I’m just saying, many a many things have pointed to it…
And you would do best spending that money pampering yourself if you’re so upset… Nothing will feel etter than people directing all their attention at you…
1 get a massage a long full body massage
2 get a pedicure, no nail color or anything just an all around pedicure, they make your feet feel anazing
3 get a kick ass meal go to a nice restaurant, not too fancy mind you, and order whatever you feel like eating, have them serve you your every whim…
you’ll feel alot better about everything and anything….
Exactly. I’m sorry you’re going through a rough patch. I know it won’t really help, but I can almost promise that it will get better.
colleen knows all the answers
I have no idea what a typical lottery winning asshole would do. But my opinion is…go gamble. If you just want to blow off some steam and if you have money to not miss it. I mean…whynot? Just don’t make it a habit…we don’t want to start a real lottery winner rehab group.
Feel better
atlantic city maybe?
Atlantic City is always fun. I went there a lot as a kid because we lived in MD. I slithered into a casino one time when I was 15. Shhhhhhh don’t tell anyone.
your secret is safe k…..
For me, it would be a Celebrity Cruise. Great food, massages, (if that’s your thing), new places…that whay you can get pampered and not stick out like a sore thumb.
Vegas would be fun, lots to do and plenty to see if you’re into the whole gambling scene.
yeah, I’m heading to AC in the morning.
If I give you a buck, will you bet it for me?…..Considering your previous luck.
Considering the above, if you are indeed female, I commend you on your choice of automobile. High quality, high performance without being extremely flashy in that ‘i’m either very insecure or extremely rich’ kind of way.
Anyways D, I live in Philadelphia but only for 8 more days, feel free to stop by my restaurant we make some awesome french food, It’s called Coquette and it’s on 5th and Bainbridge… that’s a block away from south street which is always fun! Hey I’ll even treat you to dessert, just ask for colleen.
Just saying
AC is like a hop skip and a jump away from me….
Put £20 on number 15 and 21 those seem to work for me.

If your feeling stressed, how about some kind of Spa Treatment, a massage, sauna just generally relax and chill?
A good buddy of mine and I talk about this all the time, “how would we blow $10,000 - $50,000 in a weekend?” These conversations aren’t about helping anyone or anything; it’s just about how to get the urge to blow some cash out of your system.
1. Buy some cheap used cars
2. Get your friends together
3. Destroy those cars
There is a couple grand and a few hours of fun out of the way. You could drive them into things, shoot/burn them, whatever you want. Next we move into the night life.
1. Rent a limo
2. Hire bodyguards
3. Pretend you are WAY more important than you really are for the night.
This could be at clubs, bars, museums, WHATEVER. Walk around and have them go to people and say, “Excuse me, please step away from D” Or even adopt a foreign royalty persona to heighten the fun.
If you want to simply blow money, you have to have fun. There is no rhyme or reason for these urges, but its good to have a few great ideas stashed away for rainy days when you just need drop some cash.
I had to think about this for months. Even though I grew up poor, some of my friends lived in mansions and had frugal families. All their homes had the finest furniture, be it antiques or custom-built. The artwork was always the best - Picasso, Chagall, Matisse, or Remington.
I would choose a reputable auction house, preview the catalog and buy one piece of art, or a piece of fabulous jewelry, at the auction. It would have to fall under my price point, after I did my homework.
While I was considering your query and doing research on other things, I ran across an article about Van Cleef and Arpel dismantling the emeralds from a tiara from the French Crown Jewels.
They constructed a brooch with an emerald which was sold to a Texas oilman, Don Harrington, circa 1967. Sybil Harrington decreed that her trust and estate be given to charity. I looked at her jewelry auction list and photos. Other than a few pieces, she had turquoise and junk. Smart money creates a legacy.
