Post by: bigfoot951 on January 09, 2015, 06:27:18 pm: For me this is kind of a crazy question. Obviously people would pay bills, buy a nicer car and house...but for anything specific I don't think any of us really know. We just can't accurately put ourselves into that kind of mindset.

Title: Re: what would do if you became a millionaire
Post by: beatsdrop on January 09, 2015, 08:24:42 pm: I'd help out my parents and get me a nice house.
Title: Re: what would do if you became a millionaire
Post by: oldbuddy on January 09, 2015, 09:13:13 pm: I would keep doing the same things I do now. I enjoy my life just the way it is, so why change just because you have more money?
Title: Re: what would do if you became a millionaire
Post by: Dynamite2013 on January 09, 2015, 10:30:40 pm: The first thing I would do is pay everyone I owed money. The second thing is give my children, grandchildren a portion of my winnings. Also I would buy my great grandchildren anything they needed. I would take my hubby out to dinner. And put the rest in the bank if there was anything left.

Post by: dreamyxo on January 09, 2015, 11:54:26 pm: I'd buy a house in Hawaii, buy a new car, give to charities, travel the world.

Post by: kapeh12 on January 10, 2015, 07:11:06 am: I would probably treat myself to a new car, but beyond that, I'd carefully invest it, but not change much of anything else. I'd still work at my job because I like what I do, and I'd decide whether or not to pay off the balance of my house or just speed up payments - but not much else beyond that. It would just give me more security for retirement down the road, but not something that would cause me to do anything like buy a big house I don't need or quit my job.

Post by: bremer51 on January 10, 2015, 07:22:45 am: Keep it for retirement and live my life as I always have.
Title: Re: what would do if you became a millionaire
Post by: 6265AT99 on January 10, 2015, 09:00:19 am: I think everyone would want the new car, nice home and so on, but I also think there would be lots of room to help others who have a whole lot less.
Title: Re: what would do if you became a millionaire
Post by: articx on January 10, 2015, 09:35:39 am: I would pay off my student loans, help out my family, and buy solar panels.

I wouldnt change my car though, we both love our cars lol hubby would probably buy a vette for a "play car" but I love my Audi so that wouldnt go anywhere!

Title: Re: what would do if you became a millionaire
Post by: sgluckadoo on January 10, 2015, 11:16:53 am: Pay off my student loan. Buy a house. Buy a new car, or at least new tires for my current car. Try again to adopt (it was far to expensive). Help a local family in need. Take a vacation.
Title: Re: what would do if you became a millionaire
Post by: vg7405 on January 10, 2015, 11:22:04 am: Definitely pay off my bills (credit cards and student loans), pay for the rest of my doctoral program, fix my car (want to have it repainted and waxed), and buy my mother a new car.

Take care of family is of course the first on the list. Then you would have to select your friends. After that, charities. I would update my vehicle and add some rips annualy to the list. Nice house but not extravagant. Give back!BMaston12

Title: Re: what would do if you became a millionaire
Post by: ejholt on January 10, 2015, 04:33:07 pm: I would pay off my car and then retire for the second time. I work at walmart as a people greeter. I am 73 years old and I would like to know how it would feel to stay home and not worry about not having enough money to live on. HOpe to some day. Hope everyone has good day. :)
Title: Re: what would do if you became a millionaire
Post by: dwggs on January 11, 2015, 05:02:53 am: after the usual of paying off our debt I would probably begin to research the ways to have my principal make me money. It would be awesome to be able to live off the profits rather than spend the principal.
Title: Re: what would do if you became a millionaire
Post by: autumnsparklemom on January 11, 2015, 08:46:59 am: I would surely pay off some bills, build a house, invest in my children's education, donate to special olympics (my daughter is special needs). My ultimate dream has always been to open a five and dime candy store.

Post by: sherryinutah on January 14, 2015, 09:33:52 am: I would continue to do what I do now; however, I would allocate that money in the following ways:

First, I would find out how much money I need to send the IRS. Then I would send them more than they ask for so I could cover my own rear end.

Then I would pay cash for a very reliable and economical vehicle. I'm thinking a Toyota Carolla or Camry would be a good choice.

Anything else would be savings for a rainy day.

I would also pay attention to whether or not my friends or relatives attempt to manipulate me and my situation. I might share with someone if I feel inspired to offer them a gift but I don't allow myself to be manipulated.

:heart:

So basically since you would be rich you would give candy away?? lol. Cause it would cost you a whole lot more than a nickle and a dime to purchase the candy. I think having an old fashioned candy store would be cool.

lol. I would give the IRS as little as possible. And do like all the other millionaires and find causes to give money to so that they, the IRS, gets even less of it.

Give my nieces and nephews some money. Help my dad and brother some. Go on some traveling vacations with a mid size motor home. And it would not be a brand new one.
