They bought a $10,000 diamond. They figured they would resell it and then have all of that cash to spend however they wanted. Unfortunately, as well all know, jewelry is WAY over priced and resells way less than what you would pay at a jewelry store, especially one in the mall. They got about $1500 back from selling it, which just barely covered the taxes they had to pay out of pocket in their original purchase.


That's an awesome story and a good life lesson!

Reading this thread has made me realize that I could have anything I want. I just don't want anything. I think, generally, people just want things they can't have.. and when they can have it, it doesn't seem as thrilling anymore. No material object has ever made me feel fulfilled, personally.

floatingslowly 05.21.2009 11:19 AM

I don't ever really want stuff either.

material wealth is overrated.

travel
musical equipment
big party
charity

i'd pay off my debts and then spend the rest on a trip abroad and some records, and probably one weekend of carnage.

Rather boringly, I'd probably get some nice bagpipes (Uillean), get some shoes and hats made and a cunting great stereo. From that I'd anticipate I'd get about 32p change, which I'd spend on some Asda own-brand shaving foam.

jon boy 05.21.2009 05:16 PM

one weekend of pure debouchery for sure.

pokkeherrie 05.21.2009 07:00 PM

I'd buy sonicyouth.com/gossip and ban all you fuckers.

davenotdead 05.21.2009 07:04 PM

a vintage moog synth
blow
moon boots

I might buy 10 grand worth of Carmello candy bars.

you people reminded me of this episode of Cribs that I watched about 10 years ago.

remember Sisqo? he did "The Thong Song". it goes like this: "thong thong-thong thong thong".

well, this was Sisqo's crib.

the first thing that he showed off was this giant fucking roman statue right inside his front door. he claimed that it cost him a fortune.

all I could think was: "in 10 years, I'm going to be making fun of this guy for blowing his money on a motherfucking statue".

xoxo syg, for reminding me of Sisqo.

davenotdead 05.21.2009 08:02 PM

sisqo lives!

floatingslowly 05.21.2009 08:06 PM

well, I hope he's enjoying his statue.

it's going to be a bitch to move when he can no longer pay the mortgage on his fucking CRIB.

pokkeherrie 05.21.2009 08:10 PM

if it weren't for the motherfucking statue you'd have long forgotten about him.

cribs are temporary, statues are forever.

floatingslowly 05.21.2009 08:11 PM

I never forget. it's all there....somewhere.

Build a visually accurate Ghosbusters proton pak, PKE meter, and ghost trap.

Fly to LA. Hit up their vintage shops (I read an article about all of the cool vintage shops that have sales on wierd days of the month.. and, oh my god, i almost died. shit from the 1930s for 10$??!! aah!)
Fly somewhere less shitty... Maybe chicago. Hang out. Buy a bus pass. See some sights. Buy a greyhound ticket and travel my ass off.

It'd be more reasonable to spend it on college, but pfft. Who needs a future when you've got 10,000$ to spend in the moment

ploesj 05.22.2009 03:44 AM

i don't know. i own quite a lot of money but that's for emergency situations, since i chose quite a risky career path.

if i had 10 000 euros i'd probably do some travelling. can't think of anything expensive i want or need.
