The next question until next saturday is...
If you won 1 MILLION pounds what would you do with it? 1.) Convert it to USD. 2.) Invest in stock. 3.) Buy a huge plasma TV. 4.) Buy a huge 7.1 THX surround sound system.

I would spend the money real slowly: watchin the world go by.

Well, let me go get my check-book, IRS manual, tax-reduction sheet, and I'd love to tell you about it. A-hah-hah-hah! Love! I'd love it! A-hah-hah-hah--Coffee anyone? No? How about we snort some cocaine off of a dogs back? Eh? Eh, eh, eh? How about we discuss the economic values of globalization while we drop E, and sexually expiriment in my new Benz? A-heh-heh-heh.... Coffee?

I do not trust them, not one little bit.
But in reality there does not seem to be any alternative!
corruption, corruption, and, well, corruption.

I owe about 30,000 give or take.  6,000 undergraduate student loans. 5,000 consolidation loan. 5,000 car loan. 2,500 postgraduate tuition fees. 1,500 credit cards. 10,000 parental loans for education. They're going down, slowly, no mortgage yet though! The joys of growing up after an irresponsible youth - nice hangover.

5,000 car loan.....no mortgage yet though!
Most people don't consider it a "loan" or money that they "owe" if it's for something that's "secured". For example, your car loan..... Obviously I don't know the specifics, but presumably the car is worth something. So if you sold it tomorrow you would theoretically get something for it - you tell me what it's worth - $3000? $4000 - so you could use that money to pay off at least part of the $5000 you still owe. So in reality, you don't really owe $5000. As far as a home mortgage goes, no one really counts that as being in debt. The way real estate values keep rising, everyone I know that owns a home and has a mortgage has more equity in the home than the amount that they owe. My girlfriend and I own a condo together, and while we owe a substantial amount on the mortgage, if we sold the condo tomorrow and paid the mortgage off, we'd walk away with a substantial profit, so we don't look at what we owe on the mortgage as being in debt. Also, only part of what you owe is money that you're paying off that you'll never see again - the part of the monthly payment that goes for interest. The rest is paying off the principle, so in effect it's going from one pocket to the other.
