If you had a lot of money would you spend a million dollars on a home ?

I have been to California a few times. I have seen the prices on homes to be astonishing.

NJ prices can be like that, too. it's easy to find typical development homes WAY up in the 6 figures. the million dollar ones aren't that rare.

The ability to buy & support the taxes & other expenses of a million dollar home help pay for the services in a community. That's the plus of buying at that price. But a home isn't a home just because of the price. Here's one for almost $80,000.00 that someone called home.

How sad.

Anyone knowing even the basics of building skills could erect the comparable for way less and would have ten-times the home.

That link goes to shoppers looking for their monstrous dream home after they’ve won the lottery.

We buy a lottery ticket to support Children’s Hospital. The house would be for sale instantly.

How many people I wonder, spend "good" money playing the lottery, in hopes of having just "more" money?

Yes I do play, on very rare occasion , but the weekly almost addicted playing .... I don't get.

A million? Sassycakes, you've got to update your home prices for this question to make any sense. Have you tried within the last 20 years or so to buy a house in the Silicon Valley area around San Francisco, for instance? A million might get you a small bungalow.

Correct.The home I posted is located just slightly north of Silicon Valley.

This is true,but it depends where you want to build it. If you wanted to purchase just the land (and it`s only 1/4 acre)of the house I posted,you would pay about the same. Most little houses like this are gutted and torn down to a single outside wall-or whatever the County/City requires-and rebuilt on the same footprint. It just blows my mind.
 
No - it would overwhelm me and I would not feel comfortable.
So, no to a million dollar home but I would buy land to accommodate rescue animals. I would live in a small dwelling that was clean and functional. There is more that people could do with their money that would benefit themselves and others.

A good friend of mine had three sons who all worked in the banking industry at a fairly high level, (as had their father done before them).

When the UK National Lottery was first set up in the 1980s and we heard the slogan "It might be you" etc. etc. those three sons had a very different take on the situation, and described the National Lottery as a tax on stupidity, (because of course whilst it might indeed be you who wins, statistically your chances are incredibly small or the lottery couldn't work or make all the profit it does, and okay the money being donated to good causes, but of course if you cut out the middle man, more money would go to those good causes wouldn't it! :unsure: ).
