I need money!!!

Well, not really. I live quite comfortably on what money I get.

However, my Amazon Wish list has 195 items and I often add to it which means I won't ever buy all that is on my list. It would be nice if I could afford to buy more at Amazon.

So, folks, I am wondering - if you all of a sudden had an extra $500 each week what would you do with it?
 
But surely your bills wouuldn't come to $500 more a week than the income you now have? I am talking about you getting $500 more each and every week. That's an extra $26,000 a year.
 
I would probably save about $200 a week, and spend about $100=120 a week on books (I now spend about 120 a month). I would also give extra to charities. I would visit my sister in Adelaide once a year.
 
Hmmmm. Right at this moment I would go off unemployment and actually start paying my bills and all the rent without getting half from my girlfriend. Yes I have become a bitter and frustrated man.:mad::brickwall::angryrazz:

I must have missed the every week part. Oops.
Okay, well firstly I would pay all of my bills. After those were caught up, I would take a vacation in the Bahamas, then a trip to France, I'd see Germany, Spain, Italy, Britain, Ireland, England, Australia, and then stay in a nice big fancy hotel room in New York, order room service, watch an old movie while drinking a glass of wine, and sleep on a big, soft comfy King size bed. :D

I gather you would spread these holidays over two or three years? Or would you save up and go on one big world tour?

I would like to visit Iceland but I find air travel uncomfortable due to my arthritis and it is a very long way to travel from Tasmania to Iceland. I would probably have to go first class so that i could lie down when I needed to.
 
^-- You could go there over some period of time.

Fly to Singapore or Hong Kong and spend some time there. Next stop: Dubai (ok, you might want to leave there asap, or lounge in the Burj al Arab). Then, somewhere in mainland Europe, followed by London and finally Iceland.

You'll be away for months! =)
 
New tights. I already have a few designs laid out, and I know a shop that sells standard gear and no one in the UK has heard of or uses it. When I return to the ring, I want a makeover.

...and I'm still champion, plans are already in the pipeline for my challengers. I'd make myself a custom belt to hand over.

I would make it one big tour, and I'd wear a bathrobe with nothing on underneath while in France, just to do it. :D

Unfortunately even the flight flight to Singapore from Sydney (about 8hrs 30 minutes) is well outsde my comfort zone.

I can comfortably make the flight from Hobart to Adelaide (90 minutes) so long as I don't have too long sitting at the airport or standing in line. I imagine a flight to New Zealand (three and half hours) would be getting very closed to my limit especially if I add the airport time.
 
Although I think the housing market is completely bonkers and overstrung right now, an extra 1000 a month (before or after taxes?) would open up the possibility of getting a mortgage on a small apartment here.

That, or save for retirement.
 
Well, I just got an apartment and I have a long list of stuff I want to put in it, so I guess I'd clear that list faster.
