I know I have. There would be alot of excitement and hullabuloo during your tv appearance and the actual hand over of the check. Then what?
What would be the first thing you would do if you became a millionaire?
For me I would seek out a financial adviser first thing. And I would talk to my family and see what their ideas might be. Travel, new car, good food, taxes, etc.

Smart people, like you, will hire a financial advisor, or at least get some counseling. Me too. Next, pay everything off, then repair all that is broken. I would donate to charity/church. Help my kids. I do not think my lifestyle would change a lot beyond that. I would still be very frugal.

I will invest in food business! Put half of it on time deposit for ten years. Travel around asia but I'll stay in affordable hotels and I'll also bring my family with me. Share some of it to charity, work closely with them so I can personally experience how good it feels to be part of something so great.

That is right. Just because we have money does not mean we have to be wasteful with it. It sure feels good to do good, though.

I think it would be one of the wonderful feeling to be the millionaire in the world. I think there are lots of things in the world that I would do if i become millionaire. I think I should do something creative that would provide lots of jobs in the world.

I don't know. I have thousands of dreams, but I think the money if provided in good way can create lots of opportunities. For example, there are lots of rich people in the world, but they simply put the money as savings or does not use the money to create opportunities for themselves and also for other people. I think it would be good to do something creative.

Ya, I would have to employ a reputable one that is for sure. Buying back your house would be nice. And living where you really wanted to would be too.

That would be the way to do it. I have heard that SS won't be around in the next twenty years or so so I should start now to win one of the lottery or I could be on the street.

i think i would put some money in the bank- in case i go on spending.. I'd also pay for my school fees first and give some to my family.. also donate to the Church. I'd also fix some broken stuff in the house..
i don't really have a great need for money right now- so i'll just put it away or invest it..

Everyone dreams to be a millionaire.If I win a lot of money in your own business.I can help the family with money.If you win millions want to travel to find a suitable place for business and life.From a small dream courses in parachuting,but never have money for this.It made me dream tonight.If you win millions can not afford a lot.I want to buy car, new without having to repair every month.This month, my car breaking down.I went into the service,changed some part, then broke another.I have always loved jewelry,I bought her diamond jewelry.

I'd make sure they took out enough taxes. Sometimes after people spend what they've won. like when they win a hundred thou, the state decides it didn't take out enough $. Tax % seems to change every year. So I'd made them take out extra based on whatever the state and federal gov are debating for percentages and hope I won during the debates.
A million is actually, with inflation, not worth much any more. It's worth more like half a mil, which is why people are trying to become at least a couple of millions in the millionare department.
After seeking financial advice, I'd pay off debts and see how much I could give family and friends. Otherwise jealousy, you can loose family and friends.

A millionaire usually means more than one. As far as the taxes go I would go to the tax people. Debts would feel good getting paid. And family and friends.

Because ofnmy ownhealth issues at this time I would look after the health of my family. Apart fromthe besthealth insurance that money could buy I wouldst make sure that they all had every kind of testiness.g. cat scans etc I would invest but although I love to travel would still live modestly. I would give back to my community by providing the physical structures for health clinics. I would set up school gardens to help feed the children in my community. If any money was left I would then invest for my grand children's education.

That all sounds really nice. Those type of tests are expensive and good for everyone to have done. Investing in your grand children's education is a great thing. Prices are going up all the time.

Well yes, I am thinking about that too. But I do believe that I can be a millionaire someday. However, not in dollar currency but in my country's currency. I am making steps now in trying to reach the goal of becoming a millionaire. It is quite hard but I am enjoying it. Well, I think that if I become a millionaire I would have surely gained experience in financial matters so getting a financial adviser won't be necessary anymore. I am seeking to retire early to ease myself of stress from work. Of course I will go traveling, buy some cars and good food. But of course, I will be monitoring my expenses still like what I am trying to do now. I will surely try to add more and accumulate wealth higher than a million.

Yeah. Thanks for the info. I think I need a financial advisor because I'm not good in managing money. hehehe. I am a spender and I need someone who could show me the way. Specific questions will be about taxes and investments. I don't know how to compute for our taxes. It's kind of confusing for me. hehehe. And also I have to be street wise with how can I invest the money for it to grow and last for the future and for my own future family.
