I'm changing my wish. It will sound boring and mainstream but I'm pretty keen to simply see good health and fortune to all my friends and family over the holiday break and equally to my friends on FF.
Have fun and safe holidays guys!

I'd like to win $20mil in the lotto

Town I live in you could build houses for ~350K each and get ~350 rent/week

Build 57 houses outright... rent each house for $350/week... earn $19.9K per week whilst houses rise in value

Earn $1mil/year and laugh it up whilst you do nothing.

Why not win Tattslotto's $31 million dollar jackpot this New Year's Eve?  :P

Then put it all away into a term deposit at 6.11% for 6 months with UBank. After 6 months you'd make $947,050. Already close to what you made in a year Nails with your houses. Now, if you were to put it all back in ($31,947,050) and repeat....by the end of the year, if you haven't spent any of the original $31 million, you'd make $1,923,032.38

Twice as much money as renting out houses and a gazillion times easier than buying property and upkeeping them. ;D ;D

Property keeps rising in value too ;)

and if you had 31million you'd make 1.612 million per year. That said you could probably get more than $350/week rent for them.

+ Building a house and then selling it off = profit. Cost a lot more to buy than build.

Also you can't leave your money in the bank for your entire life, got to take it out sometime... You can keep your houses your entire life ;)

I like Wes's idea about the Almanac, either that or XLotto would be good. Retire in Cairns,oh yes please.

Yes that would be awesome except I'd retire with the penguins down south.  ;D ;D ;D

I'll join you if that's okay... cold is good... maybe Alaska though... hang with the polar bears.

For Toovey to knock on my door! I'm gonna be old fashioned and also say a good new year to all my loved ones, because if they are happy it makes me happy :)

I am retiring to somewhere warm. Cairns would be sick.

Yeh i agree mate, love Cairns. Had a few holidays at Trinity Beach, fishings great weather brilliant but the CC's give me the willys Crocs and Cyclones. Other than that its paradise everywhere you look.
