Sell Your Life, Right Now!

So did anyone else hear about this? http://www.alife4sale.com/

This guy in Australia named Ian Usher, after ending a five year marriage, decided he was going to sell his life. So Mr. Usher put his life on auction on ebay. And when I say life, I mean everything. He put the whole package down. His house, his car, his motorcycle, all his personal belongings (with the exception of the clothes on his back and his wallet) and even his job and his friends!

So the bids got as high as $2.2 million dollars, only to find out that there was a hack on the ebay server and people were making bogus bids. So although Mr. Usher had his hopes and heart set on that $2.2 million dollar mark, his life actually sold for a mere $380,286.00.

Now, that is still a large amount of money in a lump sum. But if you really think about it; surely with a home, car, personal belongings, etc, it's gotta be close to the same. I mean the lump sum coming at you like that has to feel good, but what do you do from here?

I do admire his bravado and his balls for taking this plunge. I don't know if I could ever do it. I would like to think that I would. The idea of being so free is so intriguing. I wish that I could do what he did, but I just don't know.

I think this is a pretty amazing story. I thought other people might like to hear about it, if you haven't already. I don't know what awaits you Ian Usher, but I wish you well. May your $380K and carefree attitude lead to your hopes and dreams. Good luck sir.
