Thoughts on Tuesday

What Would You Do With 1 Million Euros?
Last week I read a fantastic blog post published by Mr. RIP from Italy, titled what would you do with 1 million euros.
Apparently this post began last month in the UK FIRE community, where people would run a thought experiment with the following question:
