Imagine one day, you just woke up and see one million dollars in front of you ... and its all yours. It's life changing isn't it? What would you do with your one million dollars?

Big time... GET OUT OF DEBT. lol... then I guess I would go ahead and try to invest about 25% of it for things that can open up avenues of income for us, like property we can rent or improve and re-sell. I would go ahead and improve some of our living situation like getting a bigger place for myself and my wife, and then try and save the rest in a high-interest yield... and some shoes... definitely shoes... lol

You'll end up broke again. Better keep some for money generating so you can keep treating yourself and giving to charities.

after buying myself a good house and a car out of it, i'll go find a good bank. they have financial advisers who will give me great ideas as to how will it be best to handle the money and keep it growing. this way, i will be worry-free about having to have sufficient monthly income as the earnings i will get from the remaining amount will surely see me through the years ahead.

First, I'd pinch myself to see if I'm dreaming and then I'd listen to the news to see if there is an announcement like, "Million dollars stolen from ---Bank, fugitives seen fleeing in 2006 Red Impala, License xxxxxxx heading for ----- Gardens. Please are on the lookout!" Then if it all belongs to me and there is no claimant, I will invest most of the money, and then use some to get an Apple desktop computer, an Apple laptop, get a Cuisinart, donate some of the money, help my Church, buy an expensive necessary machine for one of our hospitals (we have long waiting lists). look for a better house, go on a cruise to Europe and visit England and Scotland, maybe move somewhere warmer (I have to twist my husband's arm, he loves Canada too much) and we can live off the interest.

Seriously I would donate 1/3 of it to charity.This is my way of thanking God for waking up one day with a million bucks without having to work hard for it.The rest I will invest in a mutual fund to accumulate earnings. Ofcourse it wouldn't hurt if I take a few more thousands to go on an around the world tour.

Buy a house with an attached one bedroom quarter with seperate entrance. Live in the small portion of the house and rent out the larger portion. Keep the rent for bills. Invest the rest of the money left over to make more money. Heck I wish I had a million dollars. I would make sure I do something so that I won't have to work ever again for the rest of my life.

I would save most of it. Then I would buy the place I want and pay off my loans.

I think I will buy an apartment, a car, some jewalry and little things. It is much more difficult to earn $1 million dollars, but it is very easy to spend it for everyone. Frankly, I will buy a good apartment for my parents and a car for myself, because I'm a lazy girl. Now my parents are both over 50 years old, but they have to work hard for our new house, I can't give them a hand now, so I feel very ashamed. I hope I can make more money to buy a house for them, then they can visit some sites like other old people.

Wow, one million dollars!!!First, I'd be very, very happy...then I'd consult with my family what we will do with this lots of money. Maybe make investments in big companies, buy real properties, save some, trip to the U.S., Europe or elsewhere, then share some to charity...you know the possibilities are endless...he, he, he. This is a good question because we can fantasize endlessly with all the money we have....
