Hi Paiiii. Well I would pay off the mortgage here on my home and go off back to my home country and buy a place in the country side. Two million is not enough to live forever in extreme luxury so I would have to get myself some sort of business together. I am experienced in the property game, so property investments would be a natural choice for me. I would never be able to give up working because I like to keep active and I need to keep busy.

Hello Paiiii Well if I suddently had that nice amount of money legally on my bank account, I would first pay off my debts to my parents - around $4000 or so, and then I still have alot of money left. Most of these money will be invested to grow, and then I will like be able to live on the profits while they are still increasing :)

I would first give money to my church. Then I would pay off all of my parents bills. I would take my mom to the best doctor I could find because she is very sick. I would then buy myself a small house with a yard. I really want a house with a yard because I want several dogs. I live in an apartment, so I can only have one dog. I would love to be able to liberate a few from a shelter to come live with me. I know several other families in need of financial help, so I would help them too. Then I would donate some to a local charity that is near to my heart. It is a homeless shelter called The Jesus House. Because of its name, it does not get any help from official organizations. It depends entirely on the goodness of every day people. I would like to help them out.

I would invest a large part of the money so I could get even more richer and could work less for the rest of my life. I would probably go for real estate since I am really interested in that, but any kind of investment would be fine, really.

I think you would probably should try a hand on real estate. I think lots of people are working on real estate.

It that is 2 million dollars or 2 million pounds, I would definitely go home (x42 or x67, take a pick). I would go home and settle there, give some to my siblings and parents, settle with bf, build a hotel or apartment/dorm for continuous income, probably invest some, and keep the rest in the bank. Oh, and I always want to see the giant pandas in China (before they get wiped out), the Teddy Bear Museum in S. Korea, live manatees/seals and polar bears, and cherry blossoms in Japan. I would also like to personally run a scholarship for promising people. I have this thought in my head that if I give a million to each family in my country, I will still have more than enough. Just a notion. I know this will be tough and many would take advantage of it. If we are talking about 2 million pesos though, you can just buy a small condo unit or a modest house with that, and then you have none. Still, I would want to go home and start building the apartment/dorm that bf and I have been planning. :D

I always wanted to do some creativity thing. If I get rich about two billion money, I would probably start some good factories or some production houses in the place so that there can be lots of employment opportunities. I would buy things that I wanted and give some money to the family. I think it is always great to start some new factories or production houses so that more and more people get employed and more families can be supported with the employment.

If I am rich suddenly, I will take a break. At first I will have a good meal with my family. Then we will go to have a great travel. After that, I will do some investment to create more fortune. I love China

This is sometimes a subject of one of my daydreams, being an instant millionaire XD What to do? First thing is I'll deposit all of it in the bank. Why? Because I'd probably be too excited or too confused on how to do with that much money that I might make some rash decisions on spending money that I might later regret. After that, I'd probably divide my money for spending it on my family, having my own business, investing in stocks, treating some close friends and saving some in the bank.
