what would you do with a million dollars?

If you were just handed a million dollars, tax and risk free, what would you do with it?

If I had that kind of dough, I'd first pay of my bills and debts, donate a bit of cash to charity (gotta to that whole good karmic thing) and then spend the rest on things I've always wanted... just a nice shopping spree! Oh wait, before that last one, I'd renovate my house!

 

Vanish

 

bills.. and then i'd buy land


start a commune.. or maybe just

donate some to other communes

go to england try and smuggle someone back in my pocket

 

ditto

 

Pay off debt? If you've got a million dollars, you don't really need credit.

I'd buy a cheap, cheap, cheap house and renovate it. I'd pimp my lincoln. I'd buy a kilo of coke, and I'd save the rest for retirement.

 

pay off all my bills and all of my families bills, put a down payment on a beach home and put the rest in a high interest bearing account and carry on with my life as normal...I would say donate to a non-profit but after seeing how they are run and how much money they have in foundations and trusts I stopped donated-even to the aspca I'll bring in supplies but not cash.

 

Exactly. Well, almost. Travel the world and vanish.

 

Probably buy a modest condo here in town, put the rest in the bank and go to law school

 

id buy a house and sleep in it

 

Exactly my means.

i think i'd probably fall somewhere in between and i'd add in a bit of education too. i dont ever plan on retiring. i'd want to change my career though if i had funds like that.

 

invest it
either into real estate, and live off the rent that people would pay me
or into a software company that I would sell for 10-100x the initial investment
depends on how big of a risk id want to take

 

I did not vote yet, so nothing is final. Just so you know people!

 

Give some to my grandmother and spend the rest.

 

I'd build a casino...

 

Probably self destruct. Otherwise take a year off and travel.

 

i'd buy lots and lots of sand

 

You let us in right?
