Title: What would you do if you had 1 million dollars?
Post by: MichelleHW101 on July 18, 2016, 05:18:53 am

I think the main problem is when people win the lottery, they blow it all not realizing that once it’s gone, it’s gone.  Because I’m not a big spender, I would put it in the bank.  Some would go into the checking and saving to pay off bills and some would go into a money market and stock to try and make more.  I certainly wouldn't blow it.

I would take care of first things first. Invest it for a secure retirement. Then I would help family.

I would pay off my bills.
Start a college fund for my kids.
Buy a new car.
Invest for retirement.
Help my family.
Donate some to a good cause.

I would pay off all my bills and do some work on my house so I can sell it and move to the town where my daughter lives.  I would also buy we a new Ford Escape and then put the rest in the bank.

I would find me a smart investment advisor, donate to some charities and I would love to be a "secret Santa" kind who helps out our homeless cause I see too many of them on street corners.

I would sell my house and move closer to the beach, just for the cooler temperatures.   It's at least 10 degrees cooler there.   Unfortunately, one million isn't much in California, the house would be very small and not that close... but closer ;)

After taxes, that one million is under a million, so you have invest what you have left and let it grow to a million or more.

I would pay off bills, including my house, and invest some in college funds. The rest would be invested. If I win multi millions I would start a non profit that addressed poverty related concerns.

I would buy five homes beside each other. One for me, one for my husband, one for each of my children.
That way we can all live together and be close enough to do things together, yet not be underfoot or too close and all have our own privacy. :)

Buy a house, and maybe the land that the house is on. That way I wouldn't have to pay rent or for the land for years. Would try to use the money in these ways so I wouldn't be blowing it away, and financially living responsibly.

Surely they realize when it is gone it is gone.  People are not that stupid.  People are greedy and they want stuff.
If I had a million dollars I would pay off my house, credit cards, do some remodeling, and quit my job.

After taxes a million dollars isn't a lot so I would keep working and put that money away so I had it for retirement. Maybe it could help me retire a little bit earlier.
