OK so I need 10 million dollars

Posted by black-thumb (My Page) on

I was just poking around the internet and decided to visit realtor .com to see if I could find some good interior home decor pics from some of the super expensive homes. I came across a house that I totally fell for, its right up my alley. I'm not crazy about some of the furniture or the fireplaces but the rest of the style so totally me! Now all I need is ten mill to make the purchase.

Anyone got any ideas? LOL

Here is a link that might be useful: The one that got away :(

Weird mistake

LOL this is so funny! I meant to post this in Home Decorating not Household Finances. The question as to how to come up with ten mill was a joke.

Funny that I posted this in here by mistake.

Sorry

Oh, that's easy. Start a company and run it so poorly that it sits on the verge of bankruptcy. Then ask the government for a bailout.

Nah - black thumb's company wouldn't be big enough ...

... it's the big guys, who'll put manifold thousands out of work if they go under (and who support the democratic system) who qualify.

Hey, black thumb ...

... is it a gardening business, by chance?

ole joyful

P.S. You have an eye to forking out 10 million or so ...

... and you don't like the ...

... Furniture ...

... Fireplaces?

Anyone accuse you of Foolishness?

ole joyful

P.S. In the light of the current, and possibly prolonged, recession ...

... to whom do you propose to sell it, when you don't need it any more?

The Boomers, who've enjoyed those big houses, now approaching retirement, won't need such biggies any more, so there may be more houses of that type than potential buyers ... and, in the light of the erosion of high-paying jobs in our area, possibly far more than potential buyers with the wherewithal.

And in the marketplace - those latter are the only ones that count!

It looks nice, butb there's no way I could keep 10,000 square feet clean. I don't want to clean five bathrooms! I have enough work with two!
