If I gave you 10 million dollars in liquid cash today, what would you do with it?

What if you could measure air temperature every 10 seconds to minimize heating and cooling costs?

Cool., love the ideas

@Jay Hinrichs so i just read that votes are kind of a way to show approval for what a poster has written without having to reply. all you have to do is hit the button. which is kinda cool. 

Once you have enough liquid assets, you can decide what type of home purchase will be right for you.

We could afford to pay that off but doing so would leave us spread precariously thin since we'd have to spend about all of our liquidity to do it.

Each house has a new roll of toilet paper, at least one bar of soap in each bathroom, a small bottle of dishwashing liquid in the kitchen, a roll of paper towels and (for houses with a dishwasher) a small box of dishwasher detergent pods. 

Cool - nice work @Dawn Anastasi!

You'll find that there are many times when, particularly on longer-term investments, using your own liquid capital simply doesn't make good financial sense. 

So in your scenario @Bill Bodziak you just told the insurer you are cool with 75% depreciation on all claims.
