  • sleeping. oh yeah.

    i’ve never been one for spending money.
    but i’d probably get a new bass amp.

  • Probably going to a big amusement park and paying to get to the front of the lines every time.

  • sleeping for sure

  • or hiring someone to clean my house while i sleep.

  • shopping

  • repairing homes of old and poor people

  • Maybe it’s because I read your title first, but I’m thinking a spa day sounds absolutely lovely right now.  That could also have something to do with the fact that I woke up with a horrible catch in my shoulder too though.  I need a massage.  :)

  • I would take the day and go to a coffee house and read.

    Or, I would sleep the day away.

  • Buy another day off and keep on doing that until alln the money was gone :) )

  • Mall.

    I’m such a typical girl. -_-

  • Buying things for  all of my family members and friends! That would make for an excellent and fun day!!!

  • In a fancy hotel suite with my fantasy man!!  (yes, Dan .. it’s YOU)

  • I’d probably just give it to charity.

  • buy the middle east and pay them to be nice to each other.

  • Charity, charity, charity.

  • Counting my money.

    Spa? No way!

    Fly down to Dallas and watch Houston get their butts beat.

    Then.

    Fly up to Denver and let my 17 year old sit on the 50 yard line, first row and take pictures with a zoom lens while Denver destroyed Oakland.

    Then eat a good steak while listening to a private concert by Jimmy Buffet.

    Maybe buy the World a Coke and wish for world peace.

    I’ll settle for the games on TV, McDonalds, a CD and a Sams Cola and let the world turn.

  • Buy a bunch of stuff for people’s Christmas so I don’t have to go shopping this winter. Then I would do some insane Charity work.

  • i’d end world hunger and overthrow all governments…

  • SHOPPING!!!!!!!!!!!

  • get a new comp. then geek out all day

  • I would definitely give the money to the Salvation Army. I don’t need it now. Or I’d give some of it to my family … just make lives easier, you know?

    -Guru on the Hill

  • Unlimited? Oh, I would buy more lanes and bridges for I-270 from Frederick MD down to Germantown MD!!! Waaaaaay too much traffic.

    I’d pay for the MRI’s for my parents that their doctors say they need but their insurance company won’t pay for.

    Oh, you mean for myself. I’d buy a Prius. Buy a house. Buy Solar Panels for the home.

  • I would… spend the day with friends doing anything.

  • buy everything i want! : earrings, clothes and moree
          OR um… i know eat as many ice-cream or dessert as i want!!

  • I’d shop for a new wardrobe, buy stuff for my friends, go to the biggest theme park in the world, and give the rest to charity. Woo for me!

  • A day in nature followed by a trip to the spa. Think massage, hot tub, scented oils. Hmmm. Great idea.

  • I have what I want…now. Money is not what I need- and I can take time off…

    So what does that leave me with?

    Well- I would fly down to Asheville, North Caroline with my husband and go to Here: http://www.shojiretreats.com/
    and visit my friends Nicole and David. Talk, Eat good food, and visit art galleries…

    Visits with distant friends are always better than money…

    XoxoxoX

  • If the money’s mine, as in I earned it, I’ll probably put it in a money market acct., let it grow while I sleep. If it’s money that was given to me, I’ll buy my dream house, then keep the rest of the money in a bank. Yeah boring, but I really, really want to buy a big, beautiful house if I can afford it.

  • Curl up in front of a fireplace, read Essays by Emerson, and listen to mum.

  • I’d but some things then give the governments money (say… 400 billion) to charity, that way they can say their money went to a good cause.

  • Spend my day buying airline tickets to Florida and back home where I live.  Eat taco bell.   If your a mom there is no such thing as a day off.

  • I’d go hiking. In Tanzania.

  • I’d have lots and lots of sex, and then give money to Planned Parenthood.

  • I’d go shopping. :) :):)

  • A day off with unlimited money to spend? Well, first I’d go and buy a house and some land and somehow pay the property taxes on it for the next 100 years. LOL Then I’d buy a new vehicle. Then I’d set up a trust fund for all three of my children. Then I’d give to all the charities that have ever helped me and my family in our time of need.

  • BOOKS!!!!!!!!! i would buy tons and tons of BOOKS!!!!!!!!! and then i would spend the day reading….ahhh reading bliss…

  • I don’t want to think about it. A question like this temps me to covet, and I don’t want to do that.

  • Buy some Coke and a camera and give people the Coke and film them spitting it out once they figure out it is Mr. Pibb. Then I’ll put the hours of footage on YouTube.

    The Fruit That Ate Itself

  • putting an unlimited amount of money in my bank account so i’d an unlimited amount of money for life, opposed to one day.

    then i’d probably give some to charity, buy a bunch of cars, a new house, and all that.

  • Hmm… I’d buy a car- probably a VW Beetle (automatic!), new clothes, a digital camera, and I’d share money to buy family and friends what they want/need and give some to a good charity.

  • shopping around the world

  • for my self i would buy a car and a house…..and go on a shopping spree w/ my friends to find stuff to put in the house :)

  • mall.. and then maybe spa..and then some..

    that would be nice.

  • Only one day? It’d be pretty great to say I would do something nice for the world like give the unlimited amount of charity, but I’m not a philanthrophist, so..

    I’d get a train ticket from here (upstate NY) to NYC. Buy a really nice manual camera and take unboundedly large amounts of photos on the way and such. Then I would shop. I’d give a large sum to Hilly Cristal and maybe he wouldn’t move CBGBs to LA. I’d buy food to give to the homeless. I’d buy myself that 80 gig iPod and a ton of Apple accessories. I’d buy a car for when I can drive in a year and one month. Then I’d fund a coffeehouse in my town for me and my friends to chill. Then I’d buy a villa in Spain.

    whew. so when’s this amazing day going to come?

  • maybe shopping..like gucci or louis vuitton? armani?

    EXPENSIVE STUFF

  • Furniture shopping…….and then just shopping.  One day of unlimited money……..I would be a buying machine!

  • shopping in the morning, then relaxing from the stuff I bought in the morning (ooooooh, vibrating recliner…)

    I think I just sounded some fifty years older than I should.

  • I’d try to buy a house and all the furnishings for it.  Either that or rent an apartment and pay ahead for a few years.

  • I would buy a house and then give money to domestic violence shelters.

  • some to charity. some to save for some trips my school is going on. the rest i’m taking striaght to the mall with my fabulous friends.

  • If I am going to use the whole day with unlimited funds, then I would start off by flying out east to visit friends and having morning coffee with them.  A stop back in Kidron to visit Lehman’s and purchasing the wood cookstove and all the other supplies I have drooled over for so long.  Then I would stop up in St. John’s and purchase the Amish-made wooden playground equipment for our city park.  Stop in Frankenmuth at Bronner’s and pick up all the Christmas needs my family and the city could want.  Eat at the restaurant there, buying for the whole house (since I have the money).  Head to The Wellness Center for a quick swim and buying new memberships for my entire family and home group.  I would pay off any debt that they might have so members wouldn’t have to worry if the place was going to be sold. I would donate also to have the pool, hot tub and shower rooms all expanded and updated. Stopping back in town, I would stop by the dealerships and purchase new vehicles and insurance for my family and group members.  A stop also to pay off any and all mortgages that my family or group members might have. I would also like to stop at city hall and pay everybody’s water bill for the quarter (that would be a nice surprise for everyone).  I’d write quick checks out to WCSG (the radio station I listen to), World Vision, Audio Scripture Ministries, and Church in Home all organizations that I feel particularly attached to.  A quick couple of afternoon hours with my massage therapist, hair dresser, and manicurist would be helpful.  Then, I am packing my things and flying off to the northwest coast to see my friend (gaining valuable day time as well) and having a late supper there.  Of course, purchasing vehicles and mortgages there too.  After all of that, I would be tired so I think I would head up to Canada and catch the train back across for a slower, relaxing, pampered trip back home. 

  • paying bills off and buying a new house…CASH!  adios rent payments!

  • if i had an UNLIMITED amount of money….. i would sleep all day, every day, and never work… or never work doing something i didnt enjoy..

  • OH and while in Milan I’d drive into Switzerland real fast for my chocolate fix.

    Or fly there with my new helicopter.

  • travel, skiing, buy more days off

  • I would take my boyfriend to Garland and pay off his loans, then we would go shopping for a nice dress for me, get tickets to the symphony or a jazz show, have lunch at the art museum, walk around downtown taking pictures of people and birds, go change, have dinner at the best restaurant, go to the show, leave early, and pay a cabbie to drive us around all night.

  • I’d be on the first plane to Ireland. I’d rent a horse and ride to the nearest pub. (I don’t think you can get an RUI) I would then hire a driver to take me around. I would buy an insane amount of souvenirs. I would then take the plane to Chicago. I would go back to all my favorite places on the Northside. I would then buy a new car and drive down to Columbus Ohio and give the car to my friend Becca. After that, I would sleep in her dor and wait for someone to come find me.

  • I’d go bungie jumping, then buy a house, and then go shopping!

  • I would pay off my student loans, sign up for the European World War II tour through my school, buy a car, pay for grad school, write huge checks to good charities, pay off my parent’s mortgage, let my dad retire, and pay both my brother’s tuitions through their master’s degrees (right now they’re both in high school). Then I’d catch up on my government homework.

  • I’d go buy tons of stuff…. like my own theme park, with tons of roller coasters… and since it takes time to build… I’ll just go buy even more stuff that won’t take as long to put together… and some houses… some cars… 

    Or even better… spend the whole day putting money into the bank and do all that stuff later so that way I’d have tons of money for the rest of my life

  • video games and systems galore… computers…all that fun stuff.

  • I would take my daughters wherever they wanted to go and spoil the hell out of them.

  • Buy as many stock, bonds, companies, real estate, land, and countries so that money will last longer then just one day. After that one day of buying, I’ll use that money to help the starving and the sick. I’ll also spoil myself, my family, and friends.

  • I would go to New York and see as many musicals as i could.

    -Jacob

  • shopping!

  • Skydiving, then take my girlfriend on a nice date.

    I win.

  • I would take a private jet to Evanston, IL to visit Candice and Heather. We would rent a taxi to take us the grocery store and we would purchase lots of food so that they could eat and get some winter weight on their skinny frames. And then go to the Sears Tower and eat at the Cheese Cake Factory and Cosi.

    Thats about it.

  • I would hire about 5 male 20 something or anothers buff and beefy of course to massage every inch of me.

    Strawberries and grapes come to mind.

    lol

    Actually a trip to Sephoria and the Pottery Barn sounds nice.

  • Well, I would for sure go to a chiropractor, and then get a deep tissue massage to get all the dang knots out of my body. Pay all my bills before the massage though, so that I do not have to stress out about them any more. Pay off my credit card and school loans. Give some to tithe and then save the rest for when I am in debt again, because I am a college student and it always seems to happen.

  • I’d travel to someplace foreign where starvation is still a cause of death & I’d supply the people with tools & the education they need to grow their own food…and I would teach them about Jesus if they didn’t already know of Him.

  • Shopping for clothes and shoes.

  • shoppinggggggggg!!!!

  • Shopping spree, Car Shopping Spree, Plan vactions all around the world, get my parents their dream home & cars, put a large chunk of money away for college, and than maybe go to a spa!

    <33

  • I’d probably spend the entire day booking trips to beautiful places around the world I’ve always wanted to see, and I’d put enough money back into my account to take care of all my responsibilities back home while I’m off being a world traveler.

    God…that would be amazing.+

  • First, an hour-long full body massage, followed by a long nap, then eating chocolate followed by some terrific sex, that ISN’T paid for!!

Then…I’D SLEEP.

  • I don’t think people consider that with unlimited money, there is a point where the more monry they spend, the more they ruin the rest of the world by causing massive inflation. Good t hing that number is like in the billions

  • Make some crazy charity donations and start a college fund for white males.  There really aren’t a whole lot of those.

    that’d be the coolest day ever..

  • Strike that.  Africa.  And do some good with the unlimited money, too.

  • I’d buy new instruments for anyone in my band that needs them, and then run to all the marching bands in the area and do the same.

    And for myself, a varsity jacket, a whole bunch of hooded sweatshirts, a crapload of nail polish, and probably some expensive designer prom-type ball gown.

    Then… I don’t know what. Pay someone to do all my homework for the next month and spend the time on the computer. =P

  • And put a ton away for college.

  • oh and i’d give some to charity.

  • Buying like … everything I’ve ever wanted but didn’t need. Hahahaha.

  • Unlimited money? I’d probably buy a bunch of school supplies and a few shipping containers and make some deliveries to the Third World.

  • go to Guitar Center and get a good digital piano, a drum set, a couple guitars and amps, and then go on eBay and try to find a Guild Songbird S4CE-BG. I’d also take my car to a repair shop to get a whole ton of stuff done on it. After having accomplished all of that, I’d probably visit a Dodge dealership and get a few cars, and then pay all the taxes and stuff on ‘em before my day of unlimited money ran out. Then…take a bunch more of my unlimited money and stick it in the bank for future reference.
    Actually, there’s waay too much I could do. If you add music, computers, and church…hmm, I could spend a lot.

  • Shopping…CDs, books, electronics, clothes and eating at expensive restaurants.  And I’d give some of it away too.

  • Go to Borders and buy EVERYTHING.

  • I would buy every billion dollar company (Microsoft, Google, Etc.) The day after when I loose access to my unlimited money, I sell them all back and get rich, then spend EVERY day in paradise lol.

  • One day?  On my own.

  • In the back yard in a softside wading pool (in summer,of course) chugging Diet coke, while getting a foot rub from Campbell Brown

  • hm… i would buy a lot of cds. and some good food. and something worth a million dollars so i could sale it the next day when i no longer have unlimited funds.

    :P

  • buy a car, some clothes, new furniture, a new ipod, some dvds, 1000 thread count sheets

  • I’d go on a massive shopping spree at Sephora.    And perhaps get a massage afterwards, for my aching feet.  Add a manicure and pedicure to that. 

  • Buy everything I could possibly want, then enjoy it every other day of my life

  • Wow. I’d probably do a lot of clothes shopping. And. New shoes. Socks. And then I’d take all my friends out to eat. In my new red mini cooper that I’d get. And buy presents for Christmas. And. Well I’ll have to think about the rest.

  • 2 words:

    rodeo drive

  • Unlimited amount of money?

    Well, let’s see………of course I would take two days off from work. One to rest and one to catch up on household chores. I would donate much more to Teen Challenge than I’m able to currently. I would buy christmas gifts for my grandchildren, which I’m not going to be able to this year since I’m having surgery soon and will be off work during the holidays.  I would also help the elderly with the utilities this winter and help with food & medicine costs. I realize my two days off work sounds greedy, but I’ve worked so hard and deserve that.

  • i’d buy myself a car (tottaled it thurs), and then fill up on gas, get a fancy dress on, drive to boyfriends, rent him a tux, take him to chicago, and have dinner on top of the world, on the 94th floor of the John Hancock building
    and then spend a night on the town, just enjoying being together. and i’d buy boyfriend a Subaru WRX STi (just what he wants)
    and then, a few days later, go back home

  • If I had unlimited money I would solve world hunger and poverty, since the concept of infinite money denies the existance of market forces such as inflation.

    I would also buy new parts for my truck so I could keep it for another 15 years (it’s already older than I am and it’s still going, I bet it could be done with unlimited funds…).

  • If I had a day off with unlimited money I would spend it all on strangers. Think of the fun it would be!!
