If I have a million dollar in my hand, I would build an animal shelter with it and hire people (professional vets) to look after them. It would be good to protect stray animals found on the streets by giving them shelter and food. If there's some spare money I would just donate it to the charity to help the children and seniors.

Investing is a good idea, but it would be better to help others who are in need.

If I have a million dollars, then my life would be a roller coaster ride. I would travel to all the places which I have dreamt.Then I will go to the Formula 1 car races,as well as watch all the Tennis matches at Wimbeldon.The list is endless. I will have a ball for the rest of my life.

well, pay my tithes, bills(completely), set up a nest egg because I want something I can look at in peace. buy a home outright and help out a few friends who I feel could use the help. I wouldn't mind a vacation. I'd go to my high school reunion; I'd plan a nice 50th birthday party the way I want it done. that's about it; I'd also help my two daughters move and get their own places and educate them further. an Ipad, laptop and new tv for me but that's it. Maybe at Christmas help someone who could use the help but keep it low key.

If I had one million dollars I would use it to help me get my animal sanctuary rolling. While it wouldn't cover everything, even though it's a lot of money, it would certainly help me get off on the right start.

Yeah...wasting a million dollars on partying and drinking is kind of ridiculous to me lol. I want to do something that will help others, and a sanctuary would do just that!

Hello, jak2010!
One of my current life goals is to reach my first million. Sure, it is not easy. But I'm planning on investing for something like 25/30 years. I know that I can get a small investment of R$ 200,00 month, however I'd need a rentability of at least 12% per year to make it. As soon as I reach it, I'll put it in the savings account, which will grant me 0,6% month, which would mean I would earn R$ 6.000,00 without working. That doesn't make me rich, but it will sure make me live comfortable!
Respectfully,
Munhozmib.

If I have one million dollars, I'd expand my business and fulfill my ambition of becoming a philanthropist.

hi jak: I think that if I would be a millionarie I would spend my money traveling around the world, visiting the places that I would love to be, buying houses and apartments from different parts of the world, I would act like a prince lol. XD 
. And I would also like to meet the people I admire on different areas: political, arts, music, film etc and be friend of them.

Some people run out of ideas when they have money and then waste them and for some of use who do not have that kind of money better ways to spend them. You certainly have very good ideas. Hi, my friend, if you really have that kind of money I wish you would enjoy them.

If I had one million dollars I would use it to pay off my student loans and any other debts that I had. I would then put the rest of it in the bank and continue on the same way I am now. I would love to be out of debt and no longer having to worry about them. It would also be nice to not worry about the rent or utilities.

My dear jak!
Do not tell yourself that before you die you cannot have million of dollars!
Always remember that nothing is impossible if you have the courage and FAITH!
Hard working,Strong dedication,determination and WILL is the most important factors to success on what you want to have or reach.
And for the 1 million dollar thingy.
If i would have that amount of money,
Honestly i would give a lot of it to those who needs it especially those OLD PEOPLE who begs a single penny on the streets. :( [I felt sad whenever i saw one]
And some of it, I will invest it or use it to gain more money and i will donate again some of it to the poor.
I will always repeat this process :)
I am Earning at the same time HELPING :)
Hope i contributed to your thread.
Happy myLotting :)

My friend Zenkey23, You are certain correct. Iwill not ever have a million or even half of it before I die. This is a wish ful discussion and if I have that kind of money, I spend and give till the last cent as you do. I just wish I could do more and in a bigger way if I had kind of money.

Hi jak2010! I would keep it in the bank and let it earn interest. Although banks pay at a very very low interest rate, it is always better to save up for a rainy day. As you all know, the economy is so unpredictable. Many people are unemployed and those that aren't are working so hard just to make ends meet. Money should be spent wisely. Sure, you can spent money on yourself once in a while but not to the extent where it is beyond your control.
