Except for maybe the "next year" part!  Unless it's to upgrade the boat and equipment of course!  Of course, you could just put a loaded up boat on every body of water that you ever wanted to fish so as to save the hassle of towing.  Then you could just take your private Citation 10 to wherever you want to go today!  If they're not biting at Toledo Bend in the morning, just book on out to Lake Castaic in the afternoon.  Maybe Milacs the next morning and then Dale Hollow.  Table Rock en route to Pickwick then back up to Kentucky Lake...............  Oops.  I think my charities just got screwed!

Yep, I'd have a boat and a house on a lake in the south somewhere.  And probably another set-up some place north like Sturgeon Bay.  And I would have at least a 640 acre section in South Dakota where I'd have my own lodge to stay at and have the rest of the land set up for pheasant habitat.  Heck, make it 2 sections.  Of course there would be jaunts to Alaska and Montana.

Of course.  Starting out pretty conservative though!

what makes you think he doesn't travel all the time anyway?

 

The question was what would I do. That's what I'd do. End of story.

I'm confused by all this. I thought the question was "what would I do" not "What would Johnny do". If you want to know what Johnny would do then you can watch that process unfold. I myself would sell and vanish. But Johnny didn't get to where he is by being an introvert. So he will continue on till he can no more. That's what those type of people do.

Yeah, and I ain't that kind of people. A few billion could be used for a lot better things than buying more crap for myself. That was sorta the point of my post, only floated out there because I was asked.

Well if your opinion was more in line with what other people thought then you wouldn't have been blasted in social media. That's how the world works today old timer.

It's more in line with people who's posts I regularly read

I appreciate your intentions Ness. I can't say I could give 95%, but I would give a substantial amount to a few select charitable organizations.

It would only be 95% if the starting number was HUGE

I think the "poor" people (that's what I'd call them if I was Johnny - not while I am one) could stand to wait until I vacationed myself to death which probably wouldn't take long anyway.  THEN they can have all that's left to share equally among themselves!  And if that deal aint' good enough, fine, I'll just take what's left with me!  Could build a heck of a pyramid for my tomb!
