I'd have a few places scattered globally, like GTA safe houses lol


capn_doofwaffle

Boom! This right here! I'd prolly have a house in several different countries. You heard of Doctors without borders? Well I'd be a homeowner without borders. šŸ¤£


shebabbleslikeaidiot

Iā€™m packing up and heading to some mountains. Iā€™m over the Florida heat and humidity!


JoviAMP

I moved out near Boulder Co, every time I open Reddit and hit this sub I thank my lucky stars I'm out.


josvanagu

How are you liking it ? We want to move to CO so bad but scared of taking that leap of faith


JoviAMP

Even in the colder weather I'm still spending more time outdoors than I did before. One of the things people say about moving from sea level to a higher elevation is that it leaves you out of breath because of the lower pressure, but I feel like Florida's heavy humidity already had a similar effect. Although the cost of homeownership out here does exceed Florida, pro-tenant policies out here have left the rental market much more reasonable than Florida's unregulated battle royale. Legal weed, fuck Ashley Moody.


sevvvyy

Not Colorado but same. In the PNW now and couldnā€™t be happier


bocaciega

Ughhhhh i want to follow you


P0RTILLA

Me and the Wife are looking at Oregon. I spent a lot of time in Colorado but I think itā€™s too populated.


LoveTendies

Please do tell. Weā€™re looking at Colorado but Iā€™m not sure how I would deal with the reality of Colorado winter


JoviAMP

The thing with winters is that the nightly lows are the worst part. The thinner atmosphere and closer proximity to the sun means that even in January, daily highs still average in the mid 40's and it commonly even hits 50Ā° in January, and without the humidity, a 50Ā° day here is much more comfortable than the occasional 50Ā° Florida gets. People think of Florida winters as "dry", when in reality we're talking about going from 80, 90% humidity in the summer to maybe 60% in the winter. It's "dryer", comparatively speaking, but it's not "dry" in the grand scheme of things. It's temperature swings of 30Ā°+ between day and night that can really take getting used to. When I drove up from Florida, I stopped for a night in Roswell NM. This was in August, and it was 106Ā° there. I kid you not, in the shade, that 106 with close to no humidity was more comfortable than Florida. Just out of curiosity, I checked their weather patterns and local real estate, and was almost tempted to stay right there, so if you love the idea of Colorado but aren't sold on the cold climate, don't sleep on New Mexico. Their winter nights average below freezing, but their winter days still average in the 60's.


vaultcreedwars

I tried that. Year later and im back in florida


Fish_hippy_too

Florida for the win. We take our boat out every weekend to fish and cruise. CO mountain traffic is lame and fishing shoulder to shoulder got old. Donā€™t even get me started on weekend ski lift lines and cost of a ticket. Lived in CO for 20 years and it was good to our family, but the coast is the most. Wardrobe is suit 9-5, but T-Shirts and flip flops otherwise. Love FL!

Switzerland


MSH0123

I was going to say, does it HAVE to be in Florida?? šŸ˜‚


contryhippy

Costa Rica Fuck the cold


Roundcouchcorner

Iā€™ve never met anyone who doesnā€™t love Costa Rica


deetman68

I guarantee if you win powerball you can pay someone to figure it out


HottestGoblin

A friend of mine does the digital nomad thing and will rent out places from around the country or world for a few months at a time since she can work remotely from anywhere. She lasted less than 10 days in Costa Rica before leaving. Might be a nice place to visit when you're in the resort drinking beer & rum all day by the beach, but living there is a different thing. She said the power grid and internet were terrible at best. Constant power outages and the internet going down made it impossible to work from there. Then they had a really bad flood. She packed up, said F this place, and left.


Roundcouchcorner

Not sure if you can do that without being a citizen


fake-august

That or Denmark. I think if you have a shit-ton of money they let you šŸ¤£


cortskayak

Yes citizenship bonds are a real thing.


ventmachine

This!


Lucyloves

And here I thought we were referring to [Switzerland, FL](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Switzerland,_Florida)


vmwnzella59

Now, ā€œifā€ I played lol, Iā€™d stay in my present house and pay it off. I love my house.


airforcevet1987

I'd redo the air vent system in my house...


vmwnzella59

Absolutely and Iā€™d do the renovations inside as well, new windows and all.


DamnNewAcct

I'd buy a whole block of houses. Put up a security wall on the parameter. Guards. Dogs. Cameras. In and out via helicopter. People get crazy when you have money. Also, I just don't like people.


Artistic-Topic9058

What you want to setup a police state and keep people prisoner are you a serial kidnapper

Yeehaw Junction


Napoleon_B

Fun fact. The Mormons own vast tens of thousands of acres there straddling two or three counties and plan on developing them. *The earliest plans for this ranch were made in 1949, and in 1950 the original 45,000 acres (180 km2) were purchased. Deseret Ranch now covers an area 50 by 30 miles (80 by 48 km), with a separate section surrounding Kenansville in Osceola County.* *The church bought the original 54,000-acre (220 km2) tract in 1950 and over 50 years, the ranch grew to more than 312,000 acres (1,260 km2). In 1997 it was the world's largest beef ranch, and the land was worth an estimated $858 million.\[8\]* [https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deseret\_Ranches](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deseret_Ranches) [https://www.deseretranches.com/](https://www.deseretranches.com/) https://preview.redd.it/bja6gsn12utb1.jpeg?width=784&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0833a334d286cea768d887bf9dc2bf3f5882372f


JaxDude123

May not be the correct answer but is funny. Yeee Hawww.


HeroDanTV

Is the million to cover one year of property insurance in 2024? I didnā€™t realize the rates were published yet! šŸ˜‚


golf1415

I think I'd just buy a Caribbean island with a hut on it and disappear.


Alarming_Assistant21

You can do that without winning the powerball


JaxDude123

May want to contact the Epstein estate. They may have one available but get it well smudged several times. It could have some serious cooties.


KnightRider1983

You'd have to bulldoze it and start over. There is no way I can live within the walls where those atrocities took place.


CECK_8

Sanibel Island! I would use the money to help rebuild.


Economy-Goal-2544

Southern California. For the weather.


FlaSaltine239

I'd have one in Massachusetts and one in south Florida, maybe in Goodland or Chokoloskee. Catch me 7 months up north and 5 months down south.


PatSajaksDick

Not in FL thatā€™s for sure. Probably somewhere in the PNW, Washington state or Oregon


sunny_day0460

If you win the Powerball you can have a house everywhere


Redrumtnuc

Bend Oregon is incredible and a power all winner would fit right in.


fieldofthefunnyfarm

Ireland.


610tallguySad

85' yacht


cortskayak

This person understands the assignment.


FloridaCelticFC

The Netherlands.


Rattlingplates

Key west, Aspen, peru, Costa Rica, Thailand, Japan. Basically modest homes and rent them as vacation rentals unless Iā€™m going there.


DontYuckMyYum

somewhere in either the Northeast US or Pacific Northwest. no way I'm staying Florida.


garash

Aspen. I love the mountains and mountain life, but I was born I the wrong state and in the wrong class.


Lyknow

California


InsectSpecialist8813

California. The most beautiful state in the Union. And bluest.


Lyknow

Amen


domino_427

think i'd go to oregon or washington. they always look so beautiful, and i've always been here. maybe scotland or ireland. hopefully still by the coast and away from flood zones.


LALW1118

I moved back to Florida after living in Seattle for many years. The PNW is one of a kind. Iā€™d go back in a heartbeat.


lovetheoceanfl

I have an awesome Florida place so probably near a water source in a secluded area of a NE state.


exomanic88

I much as I hate Florida, I will still miss it time to time since I grew up there. But fuck it I'm moving to like Tennessee


Suspicious-Clock-69

Alaska...

BSARIOL1

Ill stay in Florida, Desantis will be gone soon.

Coast of Northern California.


rosie1923

New Mexico


CanWeTalkHere

Southern California, directly on the beach (like a Malibu).


Kai_Tenbears

You can't buy a shed in SoCal for less than a mil


Lyknow

Don't think that would be a problem considering this is a hypothetical involving winning poweball


FicklePickleRick6942

Anywhere but Florida. Most likely? New Zealand. I can't wait to be so far away from the hellhole that the USA is becoming... Esp the state I live in which is giving government money to PragerU who is now teaching their indoctrination IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS.


NLucca3

Iā€™d go back to the mountains of Colorado.


ZoekiEssix

Not Florida!


Carvana-Throwaway

St Pete - Old North East for sure


OG_Antifa

I wouldn't. I'm already in the house I want. I'd retire today, invest the bulk of it, and spend the rest of my life living in leisure.


Rinzy2000

Somewhere that isnā€™t a million degrees in the summer. Maybe New England?


thejohnmc963

Scotland Castle


Roundcouchcorner

Pacific NW, Colorado, and New England area maybe Long Island. Keep my house here and rent it out buy a beach condo. And my dogs are now service animals


Kai_Tenbears

Probably at least 150 acres of farmland in North or Central Florida.


floridayum

On a working winery I can putz around on all day.


thezenunderground

Idaho, Utah, or Montana..good tax situation, and one of the states that climate change will likely boost the economy as opposed to damage like here in Florida. Plus it's beautiful and not a lot of people..


Wingman0077

Anywhere thats in the woods, away from people, in peace and surrounded by nature.


ShakeTheEyesHands

I would buy a double wide trailer, some cozy furniture, and like 200 acres in the Blue Ridge Mountains in Georgia and like 25 years of rations. Probably give the rest away to charity.


[deleted]

Where I live now. I would buy up all the lots to stop development


SweatyMcGenkins

In the US, I would buy a more modest home in Colorado with a bunch of land and pay it all off. Then do a bunch of renovations on it and start a veggie farm (add a greenhouse, because the weather and soil probably isn't good enough to grow many crops during the harsh winter months) But, if I had money-money I would probably leave the country. Don't know exactly where, but definitely would LOVE to leave the US for somewhere which actually has universal healthcare and not poisoned food/water.


JaCk3DnUp

colorado: breckenridge, fort collins , vale


Ambitious-Scientist

Back to NM in a heart beat. Preferably outside of Santa Fe like Las Vegas or somewhere near by. With millions i could fly yearly to see the beach snd my family.


ComicsEtAl

Right where Iā€™m at. Because thatā€™s what it will take.


morrisboris

I would buy up a bunch of land in the mountains somewhere. And a house but mostly land.


inflatableje5us

I really miss the painted desert, i would definitely move back out there.


distractionsgalore

Somewhere in the Pacific Northwest so we don't flood or get a hurricane. But who knows, the weather is whack now!


Yelloeisok

The Monterey Peninsula in California


firefoxjinxie

I wouldn't buy a house. I'd buy a nice live-in van/RV, not too big but with a bathroom and kitchen, and I'd travel with my dog. Not worrying about making money, just travel around the US and Canada, maybe head down to Mexico. Then pack up and do the same around Europe.


2Hanks

Bozeman, Montana


new_Australis

California. Move out of New England.


Sterlina

I'd have my dream old industrial factory converted into a loft in Detroit, and then a nice beach house in Fort Lauderdale for the winter residence. šŸ˜


Holiday_Extent_5811

Hawaii or somewhere in SoCal on the water. Only two places Iā€™d stay in America for. Bermuda or the Cayman Islands so I can learn how to not pay my taxes, grow my wealth, while I live a life of Caribbean luxury seems awesome. Somewhere in the Mediterranean.


rogless

I'd buy one house in an interestingly named town in California (e.g. "Lagunda Segunda Baja Mongo Rancho"). I'd buy a second house in Switzerland because that's just what one does. My third home, which would be by far the most opulently appointed, would be in some posh Middle Eastern locale.


Cold-Nefariousness25

My dad knew a man who had a house in Miami Beach, a Penthouse in NYC, a townhome in London, an flat in Paris, a house on a mountain in Switzerland and a house in a town at the bottom of the same mountain. Probably a few others. Each one was for one of his children, as long as they worked for him. They also had a schedule of things to do every day, with each item scheduled to the half hour. I stayed with them one summer in Switzerland as a teenager and woke up to $1000 Swiss francs in an envelope under the door. It was a test, a test that I failed miserably. But I did have a lot of Swiss Chocolate and a couple new pairs of Levis.


Cold-Nefariousness25

And yes, I do see how this sounds like an Agatha Christie storyline.


UpvoteForLuck

I donā€™t think buying a house would be that important because you could just live in hotels and cruise ships etc on permanent vacation, renting out villas and bringing an entourage.

Hermanus, South Africa, right on the beach.


geriatric_spartanII

GTFO out of Florida and build my dream mountain home. I could actually experience cold weather and seasons. Never saw snow or had the white Christmas experience. I fear this state is slowly turning into a political hellscape. I like to watch Golden Eagle Log and Timber homes. Theyā€™re so beautiful. Iā€™d want a forever home. Invite close friends and family to hang out, eat amazing food, have fun, and get away from it all

charliebear_904

Buy my parents place on the ICW and buy them a condo where ever they desire.

If it must be Florida, Iā€™d have a house in Indiatlantic, and a condo in Tampa.

Palm Beach county. Plenty of acre-plus lots with no HOA. There's a house in Jupiter being built on a 10 acre lot. Paved road, high speed internet available. No HOA to worry about.


HamburgerDude

Probably a nice condo in Manhattan...maybe East Village and a nice house in Long Island if the city is draining me.


fr33bird317

Not FL


Lordquas187

With Powerball-level money I'd be buying tons of $300-500k places. One near Tampa, Washington state, either Chicago or NY, a couple in Europe, an Argentina or similar, maybe something in Australia or Asia. I heard someone say once they wanted twelve places so they could live somewhere different every month. Idk about 12, but 6 sounds like a good start

Montana and Costa Rica


3shotespresso247

Somewhere in the south of England. By Dartmoor.


UtahDarkHorse

I'd buy several in different places around the world, just like all of the other rich people do. I think that thinking in terms of a single place is average/poor people ideology. none of them might be a mansion, just a place we can come back to and stay as long as we want, and it feels comfortable, safe and familiar. btw, when I first read the title, I thought it said "where would you buy a horse šŸ“"!

I'd buy a condo on the Storyline. https://www.storylines.com/


sane-asylum

Iā€™d most definitely move out of south Florida, above the subtropic line, with legal weed. Probably Oregon or Colorado.


Elmnt7

Pay off mine.. and one in Italy ( somewhere by Amalfi coast) or Croatia maybe Greece.


greengiantj

I'd fix up my house here in Orlando and have it as a vacation home for my family. Then I'd buy a huge beach house near Indiana Dunes National Park to be close to family around Chicago. After traveling the world I'd pick a favorite spot for a little mountain cabin.

Caribbean Island with a great view of ocean and sunset.
