What would you do if you won $1 million?

[~Mel~]

Buy a new home, share with my family, friends and favorite charities and then keep working my business as usual.

I would take care of the people in my family first, then pay off my stuff . I know this little girl were I last worked and she was very poor, I would make sure she was taken care and I would give her a college education when the time came.

I would buy a car for me and my husband, buy a home, give to charity and invest the rest. I don't want to use it all up and never have more! lol

[Kokokorner]

I would pay off all my debts, help my family out, and finally take my husband and kids back to daddy's homeland of New Zealand.

I thought about this long and hard. Have you ever seen the Eddie Murphy movie coming to America? If you have you'll know what I am talking about.

I'd hire girls to carry buckets of rose petals and have them throw them at my feet wherever I walked...Everywhere...

Hire a tax attorney and an investment counseler. Grow the captial and live off the interest!

[Sodelight05]

Get out of debt. Give to the church. Help the needy. Buy a new house, car, and wardrobe. Save and invest the rest.

I guess i have to think of something simpler than what i am dreaming of at the moment since $1M would not be enough for all my wish lists but definitely I will consider investing half of it in a small business and 1/4 for my family (or they can put it as share to an investment as well so there would be no need to depends on me for life ) and the other 1/4 would be for taxes and other remaining (if any) would go to charities (i'm just being realistic, I don't think that anyone would give half a million only to charity especially in this time of crisis unless you have too much of it already... motto is Help yourself first then help others)

I would actually stay where I am at and just pay off my mortgage loan as its not that much and I'd get my landscaping, basement finished and my wood floors!

I'd keep my current Van as its in good condition for an "02" but I'd pay off hubby's Honda Ridgeline.

I'd put some in my kids college funds and I'd REALLY educate myself on investing. I'd put 250k in separate banks for the FDIC insurance security until I could properly invest it all.

I wouldn't go out and by tons of things as I currently have the things in life I need. I would think more of our families future and how we'd be able to spend it together living good!

[avia4life]

I would invest most of it! I'm a big believer in growing whatever you have so I'd grow it into something even bigger! Then I would set up trust funds for all the kids and grandkids!!!

After watching over 200,000 vanish with the insane crash over the past couple of years.........I lean towards long term goals!
