After about 15-20 years, I will then most likely be found a few blocks from my final whorehouse visit, in a ditch, bloated, in a alcoholic induced coma from which I will never recover, penniless.

Yeah, it's gone through my mind once or twice.

I'd pretty much do this, maybe visit Bangkok.

have you been there it has some beautiful sights.. Mountains and Castle quaint little villages  and great BEER

My Mom her retirement.

My debts paid off.

My dream car.

Shiba-Inu.

Continue to work while whatever is left is being handled by people better at it than I am. And I won't be nearly as stressed about how idiotic my workplace can be anymore.

You can have all of this in increased intensity in Austria. Well, maybe castles specifically are more of a tie, but how important is the quality of castles in the big picture anyway.

Our villages are famously quaint, Germany's mountains are an embarrassment really, and the beverages I will not dare to call beer the common German consumes is something I would not even feed a Steelers fan. And yeah, I've been to Germany many times, it's mostly flat, boring and infested with Germans everywhere. Hence I would urge you to rethink your choice on how to spend your virtual 50 million dollars.

There's definitely not much love loss between those two countries.  Having spent months of time in each, the general feedback I've seen is that Germans think Austrians are backward, country bumpkins, quaint in the wrong way.  And Austrians see Germans as stuffy, arrogant, and generally stiff and boring.  Personally?  I've enjoyed the people, cities and beer more in Austria.  I have German heritage, have spent a lot of time there and even worked for a company HQ'd there (which I visited a few years ago for about a month) and have still always felt like more of an outsider when visiting Germany compared to Austria.  Some of that is more regional, though.  

Mostly I get a kick out of the way they view each other.  And would say it's not too terribly far off from how the Tri State views each other!

I've lived in both.  Prefer the Hoosier state personally.

The idea of drinking yourself to death surrounded by whores? Might as well go out in a blaze of glory and inject some industrial grade stuff along with your ho's.. I lived that life for awhile and wouldn't give a plug nickle for it again.. Sounds like a recipe for a lot of misery. There are better ways to blow through 50 million bucks.. LOL

10% to a few of my favorite Churches
House in Kentucky to live in during the winter
Better house in Michigan, probably on the lake
Wrangler TJ and a '71 Cuda
Better homes for a few close friends and family
Randomly tip people thousands of dollars

Michigan summers are amazing, but the winter is brutal.

Lol, I'm messin' with you man.  I am firmly behind their current laws pertaining to a certain substance.  I'm BIG TIME pro-cannabis.

I suspect it won't be much longer and it will be legalized nation-wide.  There's a lot of tax revenue for states and with several already having legalized it (and for a while now in some cases), the push against it seems to be lessening.  I don't partake myself, and never have, but in a pioneer state for its legalization, I can say it doesn't impact my daily life in the least.  And out in suburbia where I live, there aren't even dispensaries and I never come in contact with it.  I do think it had an impact on the homeless population (a lot of people moved here when it was legalized, but then got priced out of living in the area), but that's a different topic for a different day/thread...

There are a lot of public misconceptions out there.  Someday it will be accepted.  But great to hear your perspective.  Thanks man.
