How much money do you think...

[phee]

... you would need to recieve to make a significant and perminant change in your life?

[Msterbeau]

Lump sum or like a salary?

[Shade Everdark]

At least $30,000. That should be enough to pay off most of my debts, and free up enough income for me to save properly for signifcant change.

[Fierce Critter]

I'm about on a par with Shade's estimate.

$10,000 for debts. The rest is cushion/downpayment/etc.

[Msterbeau]

OK...I see how this goes...

Gimme $500K please. That outta cover child support and alimony till the kids are 18, plus college costs and paying off my debts. Then I all I have to worry about is making a living for me.. :whistling

[JaneDead]

hmmm wow never actually seriously thought about it this way. but if i did i might just cry. :laughing

[Scary Guy]

More

20,000 a year to get out of the house for sure.

[Vater Araignee]

1.43 million considering interest rates on cd's after 4 years I could comfortably support my family off of said interest and work part time so I could make donations to worthy charities that help U.S. children.

[Homicidalheathen]

You'd be better off in some A rated corporate bonds. Not quite as safe, but much better yields (and still relatively safe). And you'd probably want some equities for inflationary risk too, but what do I know?

[Guest Game of Chance]

Just like Dr. Evil. 100 billion dollars.

Without that kind of dough, my life would probably be pretty much the same.

I'm a simple guy.

my mom is a dumby she only gives me 5 dollars a week and also she always gives me singles. she has lots of singles for some reason.

Disrespect your mother not, or tanning your hide will Yoda do.

A stripper your mother is, implying you are.

stripping leads to singles, singles lead to lunch money, school lunch leads to suffering...

i like kraft cheese singles too, but my mom says the men at her work don't put those in her pants, since the bounser beat up the last one who did that.

[kellygrrrrrl]

I would like $5Million dollars please

Large Bills in non-sequential order.

First I would pay off my debts,

Get a modest house pay it off, and furnish it,

get a couple of cool cars,

a new wardrobe

Hand out some bills to some family and friends,

pay off bills for like 5 years, and then invest the 1/2 of whatever is left over, and then play with the rest.

[Hellion]

:devil No amount of money will make me change at all!! The only changes I will make is getting rid of bad habits thats it.

[The_Dark]

Hey Marc... your screwed man. If you were to get any lump sum payment.. you have to give 50% to your ex and it doesn't count toward any form of support.

So.. on that note...

I would like my current wife to recieve a lump sum payment of about 100 million... I'm pretty sure I could then setup each of my kids with college money and a car and possibly live in the confort I deserve.

Hey kid - I only got .50 cents a week, and that was sometimes. Most of the time I had to work for my dad's landscaping Biz digging ditches (literally) and that got me .50 cents and hour. Beleive me, your gravy......

And dont call your Mom a dummy - disrespect toward the parentals aint cool and it paints you in a bad light.

[fever blister]

one thousand dollars oughta do it.

[Mikielikesit]

HMMMMM....at least 100k lump sum to payoff everything owed and a nice trip around the world for me and my son and daughter and the grandchillins....and my ex too what the heck i still like her she's a good friend........... Oh and a perminant change would take besides my own income another 30k a year would be good enough just to make it comfortable I'm not real greedy

[holliwood66]

Oh, screw it...Millions would be nice. oh yesh.

[damagedangel]

Around $50k, so I could pay off current bills, car loan & student loans. Then I would debt free and have fun making myself in debt again LOL

[DisturbedMania]

None.

I've been making significant and permanent changes all along. I don't need money to make more changes it just happens naturally. However, negative sums of money seem to have the most impact on change.
