My big dream is to be debt-free and then own two new tricked out trucks. I am not a fan of the water that much I am a land-lover. So a big yacht would probably be out of the question. I have always wanted to fly on a private jet though. I wonder how much that would cost?-weshar75

I would never be extravagant, although a 50 foot sailboat sounds nice. Maybe there's something wrong with me, but in my past I knew a lot of wealthy people and it never excited me. Anyway, a large yacht isn't a big turn-on if the guy has a little dinghy. (especially an inflatable one)

If you win, will you "float" me a loan? (big groan)

go to Ferrettigroup.com, it may change your mind. If your playing PB and W, I hope you get excited for yourself b/c you will be extremely wealthy

Do you want a jet you have to crawl around in, or one you can stand up in? Do you want one that can fly non-stop from New York to Las Vegas? Do you want one that can fly non-stop from Los Angeles to Peking? Do you want one with state of the art avionics? Do you want one less then ten years old? Do you want one with a crew? Do you plan on fixing things when they break, or performing some annual maintenance? Do you plan on refueling it? Do you have a place to store.
A 1980 Cessna Citation will cost you around $1.6M just for the title. Oh, BTW, the height inside is around 5'8" and the width is around 5'9", the inside length is around 17'. A new Boeing Business Jet (737) is around $45M S-T-R-I-P-P-E-D. Insides will run you about another $5M to $10M additionally - if you don't get carried away. Beefed up engines - that'll cost more. Painting your name on the side will cost around $60K.
