The very first thing I would do is pay off all of the debt my husband and I have including our house. We would then probably buy a new vehicle because all of ours ar pretty run down. I would then start making plans to build a new house because we defiantly need one and have a house built to my liking. I would put money back for both of my girls so they could use it when they are older to go to college, get a car and what not. I would then save the rest to help pay for future bills and for whatever else that we may need it for.

That sounds like a good plan. 1 million dollars is a lot of money, but is not endless. Putting it to the right places takes some time and thought.

I would invest most of it and see that i get a good income to take care of my expenses.I would give away a part to a worthwhile cause or a needy person.A part of it i would use to travel and visit most places i would have dreamt of but could not afford.It will definitely improve the standard of life of my family.

I would agree in investing. And then sharing the wealth.

Well, using the money I can make our lives and the lives of others completely convenient. Use the money wisely; for the good; to reach out to those who are in great need. To reach out to those who work hard yet they find it hard to gain success. I can use the money to tap the potentials of others. It means more opportunities for work.

I'd buy a house, a new car, a new phone. The rest of it, I'll start up a business. I'd also travel the world, watch a live Laker game so that I'll get to watch Kobe Bryant play in person. I'd watch Manny Pacquiao fight in person. Watch wrestling and UFC in person. I'd quit my current job and focus on business.

I would use that money to start up my animal sanctuary. I know it would take A LOT more than that to do everything I imagine for my sanctuary, but it would definitely help A LOT! First I would get my nonprofit and 501c3 status. Then I could probably get a nice property with a lot of land with that money. I could make a donation and start collecting donations. As soon as I know I have the finances to do so, I could start saving my first animals! I'd be saving all domestic and farm animals. I'd also help the occassion wild animal that needed it.

I think the first thing I would do is pinch myself to see if I was dreaming. If I found that it was for real, I would start by paying off all my bills, then I would probably look into getting decent housing for my family members and helping them get their bills taken care of. Once that was done, I would start looking for charities to help out because right now there is very little I can do and I would want to give others a better life.

I'll leave it in the bank and let it collect interest. In the mean time, I'll think very hard and plan seriously on what I will do with it. I shouldn't haste because if I do, I would regret it.
