Here is the situation. You were walking through town when you saw a bag in the rubbish bin. The bag look brand new so you took it out. You notice that it was heavy but there were now crowd around and you did not want to open the bag and rubbish fall out embarrassing you. So you took it home. At home you carry the rubbish bin near so you can throw the things i the bag in the rubbish. As you start to throw you see pile of money WHAT DO YOU DO?

If I found a million dollars I would pay off all my bills, build a new house, and buy a brand new car. I'd probably do more but those are at the top of my agenda list!

Tell them again. So tell me do you like where you live. I don think you are smart enough. I though you would have start a business to make more on that money or even invest.

I probably would start a business as well, but paying off some of the stuff I have would be top priority. I would stabilize everything and then branch out... I think that is smart

hmm nice situation.. any how, if i find million dollars.. then obviously i wont take it back, since i know the guy who throw that money would be a criminal.. (a normal person normally don't carry so much cash with him). Any how... so now i found it.. so i going to spend it. hmm 1st i will buy a house for my self, then buy a luxury car. And remaining will throw into savings... and rest of the life enjoy the income from those saving.. That's, a million dollar isn't that big amount ..

Smart. I never think of that. You sound like you are a professional at that type of stuff.

I'd take a few large armfuls - enough to pay off my debts - leave the rest. I'd be too scared to take the whole bag home!

Knowing my luck, it would be rubbish. I know in the past I've got all excited over what I've thought was a £10 note - only to discover a crumpled up till receipt. Doh!

Ha ha. That is funny. You really saw a receipt and thought it was a 10 pound note. Or maybe you are just bad lucky.

But you did not know that the money is in the bag until you reached home. It was then when you was ready to empty what you think was rubbish you found that it was money. So the bag is already home.

I would ask around if someone lost a million dollars, or report it to the police, but then again, now the world has become so unsafe and cheating that people might try to cheat the money of me. If I'm sure I know someone is telling the truth, I'll give it to them, but otherwise, I'll keep it for myself and use it for charity reasons. But I will check thourouly first, and make sure that it doesn't belong to anyone who will sue me or something.

Now that you mension that, maybe I would just leave the money there, for your reason, and also if it came there by mistake and the owner goes looking for it. It would be best for everyone.

So you would run back to the rubbish bin in the middle of the night to throw away a million dollars back in the original rubbish bin.

If you find a million dollars/ Hey friend, if I find a bag, first of all I would check it before I decided to lug it all the way home. As it might have only been full with trash then too I wouldn't have wanted nobody to see me out there going through all kinds of garbage and rubbish in the first place. But let's just say for the heck of it I was able to get past all of those little small hangups and i was finally able to get the bag home. So once I got it there and threw away all of the garbage then finally got down to the very bottom of it and I happened to find a million dollars, I guess then that somebody would have to call the paramedics to come and get me and carry me away because I would be in total shock and disbelief. See the truth to the matter is that I've never really won much of anything in my life anyhow. So if it happened that I did happen to find a million dollars it would be truly a miraculous event and I guess after I had gotten over my shock, i would probably call up Per Bristow, he's the guy that I've been visiting his website from online. And I would say what's up Per ole buddy. I'm ready to go on and invest in that singing program that you've been promoting. I would be happy at last because the money would allow me to be able to make one of my greatest dreams and fantasies come true. Which would be to become a singer. Thanks for listening, Happy mylot! Great Discussion!

Oh yeah, btw, keep posting and mylotting because I really like your style and you cause people to dream, who knows, one of these days I might just wind up finding that bag full of money, it sure would be nice if I didAnd if I ever did I would surely come and look you up and I'd give you at least a couple thousand just for thinking about it here online. I'll be sure to keep my eyes opened whenever I happen to go out and about but i'm certainly not going to bother with holding my breath on it and waiting for it to happen.Real dreams happen for those that are willing to get out there and make them happen. Happy mylot!

Thanks my friend, perhaps I was being a wee bit decietful. I like to think that inspite of everything my life has been truly blessed. I'm more or less the type that has always had to work very hard for whatever I've gotten. As far as luck goes, you right, it might be more or less for somebody else. But I never seem to let things like that bother me because I know that whatever is meant for me is meant for me and nobody can take it away. Thanks for wishing me luck with my singing. It's very difficult to make a career or singing my friend, actually it's a lot more difficult than what most people would think. That's why it's alway good to have an Ace in the whole. If my singing thing don't work out I could always make a good living from writing articles as I'm finding out, or maybe writing a few novels. Then again I can sew and make clothes, that is something I've always been interested in doing too. I can cook and also socialize which means I could always get a job in the hospitality field. This is the reason why I say that I've been blessed in spite of everything. Even though I've always had to to work hard for everything. I've been able to gain some very valuable job experiences and knowledge, so therefore i will always be able to take good care of myself. So don't let that one little tiny comment fool you. I happen to be a woman of many hats, you dig?

Wow. It looks like you hardly get any chances in life. Sorry for you though. Guess some people are born lucky while others are lucky to be born. Hope that singer job of yours come true.

I would take the money and make an arrangement to the poor who do not have anything to eat or drink. I would try to make them employable by giving them training. But a million dollars are not enough to do all that work. Maybe I will invest that money somewhere where I can get a good return and then use that money to help the poor.

I would watch the news to see if anyone or banks had been robbed. If a bank or a person had been robbed, i still would wait for the reward to be announced. It better be a good reward or it's the old finders keepers losers weepers.lol I 100% would not tell anyone i had the money.

That you are saying now about 100% not telling anyone. Sometimes people cant keep things bottled up inside too long. They feel like they are going to die. So they might tell you a best friend and that would be the wort mistake ever.

i think i am going to faint or collapse honestly because this is a kind of money i have never seen in my life and when i woke up i will definitely split the money into ten and save half of it in some banks, i will invest 3 parts of it in real estate, oil or mutual funds and the rest will be for a new home and my family

I think, I'd take the money and store it in a safe place. Next... well, I'd then call the police to take finger-prints to determine who owned(or owns) the money, if any on the money. My other thinking tells me, perhaps I'd keep the money. What if I call the police and they take the money? What if they do not ask me anything about the money and just ake it? Renhard, life is really unpredictable - honestly the good thing would be to try and locate the owneer and give them their money. But then it will depend whether the person is really the owner.

i will give it to the police, no matter if they are corrupted or not and no matter whether they will eat up the money or not remember...things that doesnt belong to you will never belong to you and in fact you may even lose some things of yours because of your greediness to keep all the money to yourselves and not trying to locate the owner or hand it over to the police

i would quickly buy a huge amount of wholesale products with the money. i would then return it so the money would not be marked if it was. next i would go on a spending spree with this new cash. if possible i would purchase gift cards and then buy everything from stores so it would be tough to trace myself. after most of the luxury items i desired were bought i would research and donate the rest of the money to charity. it can be used as a right off on my taxes and maybe the irs would overlook the new lambo in my driveway.

Tell them again. I would enjoy my life to the fullest. I would have a sweet power car. More than one in fact. I would still had to have a go-kart. I think i also try to start a business so i can make more on that money.

what to do? good question. nobody is seen you taking that. then why worry about anything. dont think hard. its waste of time. now that bag is in your hand. so it belongs to you, unless you go out and tell someone. now that you saw a pile of money inside the bag, the best thing to do is to transfer it to another bag. then destroy the original bag so that no one can even trace you late. before that, donate that money to myself. what a charity? rite

You wish. If i found that money i would never give any one it. I would keep it for myself. Maybe it is a kind of selfish but it would only be a give away. Finders keeper losers weepers.

If I foun the bag of money, I'd lay low for a few days to see if I heard anything on the news about a stolen million. If not, that money is all mine! lol I think the first thing I would do is pay off all my college loans. Then I'd probably buy a couple laundromats and houses to rent to people. That way I'd have a constant source of income. If I just spent the million, it'd be gone but that way, it'd be different.

I would turn it over to the cops, because it would probably have been stolen and I would not want any part of stolen money.
