    I'd like to be a millionaire so I could buy my own Island in the Pacific and start my own state. We (the Wulfians) would then build a huge undersea city and ride out the nuclear holocast that will wipe out the land-based world sometime in the next fifty years. Then millions of years later we would come up and seed the Earth with humans once again, except this time we would live as slaves to the insect kingdom. On a more serious side, no I would not like to be a millionaire. Yes, I said no! One million US dollars is less than six hundred and fifty thousand pounds, and that won't even get you a decent house with a pool and tennis courts. If I was to be rich I would have to be super rich and never have to bother about making money ever again. If that can't happen (and let's face it - it won't) then I would rather live my life where I work hard for every single penny I own, and even harder when I spend it. It keeps me occupied at any rate. ____________________ David Wulff Neil says: dave i am a homosexual and i am in love with your father Dave says: That's okay son, eighteen years ago I was in love with your mother.

              Not the game show, but real life. These days I consider a millionaire to be somone who has a net income of over US one million every year. Yes, I know other definitions of it exist but that is mine. I personally believe most CPians have the capacity, but am unsure of how many achieve it or will. Anyhow, who wants to be a millionaire ?

What i'm making now is more than enough to sustain my simple lifestyle. If at some point that lifestyle gets more complex, then i could see attempting to increase my income. But, to justify $1Mil/yr i'd have to develop some pretty complex interests... Polygamy for instance, or Real Estate Development. And those would conflict with my lazy, irresponsible personality. :) --------

                    Yes please! Then I'd be able to employ full time editors and developers, do away with the advertising and marketing work side of things and be able to spend as much time as I wanted programming and even more time doing silly things like snowboarding, rock climing and cycling.
