So let's say one of the mega rich guys who gives a billion to several charities.......
suddenly gives every non-millionare family in America just half a mill.
What could that hurt? It could only help the economy. Improve most of the recipients lives financialy.
He would be giving far less away, or still have some for the charity.
And then the Redbelly could buy him some botes!!

I'd be willing to bet you a banana and two bagels that if most people were handed half-a-mil, they'd wind up one million in debt.

OK...so we have to "qualify" for the gift!
I promise to pay cash for all my botes...no loans....
And I think i would have some loot to boot!
Boat #1....budget $30-40,00 flats/bay cadillac.
Boat #2...budget $30-40,000 pontoon limosine
Boat #3....budget $10-15,000 panfisher's delight
Boat #4....budget $20-30,000 a simple riding around cruiser cuddy cabin type fun bote
See.....still got sum bucks left! No loan needed! Ha!

Oh, in that case I'd buy a small house on 1/2 - 1 acre in the right location, a used P/U, and learn more about building boats, so I could build exactly what I want.

I'd pay off my existing debts, as far as a million would go.
