one MILLLION dollars...

[sportyaccordy]

With me being out of work, there's no room for entertainment. And since im gonna be home for a while, i can cook all my meals at home. That figure might even have been an over estimation. So i could use a little of that to go out.

During work my budget was about 1600-1700 a month, which is still pretty low. NYC living is pretty cheap if you do it right.

Even out of work, you still need to have some fun, man.

Me + the lady have plenty of fun

Nah but i guess i can do another 100/mo to go for a dinner + some drinks every now and then

My buddy used to use 'the best things in life are free' as a pickup line....

Dazzle, WTF do you do for fun? Only 6k for vacations? How much time do you get off every year?

No wonder you are burned out, I don't see any money alloted for fun time except for a wimpy 6k on vacations. Find something fun to do, man!

Only 6k for vacations?  That sees like more than enough to me.

If I had a million dollars
(If I had a million dollars)
I'd buy you a house
(I would buy you a house)
If I had a million dollars
(If I had a million dollars)
I'd buy you furniture for your house
(Maybe a nice chesterfield or an ottoman)
And if I had a million dollars
(If I had a million dollars)
Well, I'd buy you a K-Car
(A nice Reliant automobile)
If I had a million dollars I'd buy your love

If I had a million dollars
I'd build a tree fort in our yard
If I had million dollars
You could help, it wouldn't be that hard
If I had million dollars
Maybe we could put like a little tiny fridge in there somewhere
You know, we could just go up there and hang out
Like open the fridge and stuff
There would already be laid out foods for us
Like little pre-wrapped sausages and things

They have pre-wrapped sausages but they don't have pre-wrapped bacon
Well, can you blame 'em
Uh, yeah

If I had a million dollars
(If I had a million dollars)
Well, I'd buy you a fur coat
(But not a real fur coat that's cruel)
And if I had a million dollars
(If I had a million dollars)
Well, I'd buy you an exotic pet
(Yep, like a llama or an emu)
And if I had a million dollars
(If I had a a million dollars)
Well, I'd buy you John Merrick's remains
(Ooh, all them crazy elephant bones)
And If I had a million dollars I'd buy your love

If I had a million dollars
We wouldn't have to walk to the store
If I had a million dollars
Now, we'd take a limousine 'cause it costs more
If I had a million dollars
We wouldn't have to eat Kraft Dinner
But we would eat Kraft Dinner
Of course we would, we?d just eat more
And buy really expensive ketchups with it
That?s right, all the fanciest ke... dijon ketchups!
Mmmmmm, Mmmm-Hmmm

If I had a million dollars
(If I had a million dollars)
Well, I'd buy you a green dress
(But not a real green dress, that's cruel)
And if I had a million dollars
(If I had a million dollars)
Well, I'd buy you some art
(A Picasso or a Garfunkel)
If I had a million dollars
(If I had a million dollars)
Well, I'd buy you a monkey
(Haven't you always wanted a monkey)

If I had a million dollars
I?d buy your love

If I had a million dollars, If I had a million dollars
If I had a million dollars, If I had a million dollars
If I had a million dollars
I'd be rich

Minpin is a rich kid. 
And as I said, that's only part of my vacation costs.  Meals and things like sporting activities aren't part of that amount.

[hotrodalex]

I can have a fun vacation for under $2k.

[Rupert]

You have to take what I say with a grain of salt.

Trust me, I always do. The whole shaker, sometimes.

[Raza]

I can have a fun vacation for under $2k.

My vacations for the last few years have cost an average of $300.   

But now that I have money, I'll spend some of it.  I want to go to Tokyo.

Or, you can rent an apartment.

Ever since I saw Lost in Translation, I've wanted to vacation there.

[BimmerM3]

I wake up at 6 am.  I get home at 8 pm if I'm lucky.

How long is your commute? Or, I guess what I'm really asking is how much time do you actually spend at work on the average day?

[sportyaccordy]

Ever since I saw the touge battles on Best Motoring International's DVDs, I've wanted to vacation there.

Raza we're all family here. No need to lie.

I am perfectly fine just laying on a beach at an all inclusive resort for a week or two in the Caribbean. Maybe doing some hiking + taking a scooter to go sightseeing or w/e. I think packages like that are available for less than $1000 with the flight included.

I spend at least 10 hours a day at work.

My family didn't even spend $600 on vacations when I was growing up.

Neither did mine, most of the time.  The best trips were usually reserved for when my parents went away by themselves with friends, without us kids.

I was thinking about something like that too.  A bunch of people from work are going to Miami again this year, but I don't think I'll be allowed to go.  So I'm actually thinking Vegas.

My dad's been keeping a similar schedule since he switched jobs (to get up to speed since he hasn't been in such a hands-on operations role in a long time), except 6:00AM would actually be a little late.

My schedule is about the same.  Up at 5:30, out the door at 6:40-6:45, home around 7:30 at the earliest. 

I've bounced out early for the past couple of weeks, due to the holidays.  I'll be back on a full schedule this week though.

And working Sunday.  Woo!

Yeah but are the guys that have been working there for 20 years doing the same...?

That's a little nuts, I agree.  Where I work, only portfolio managers get to leave early.
