What if you had an million dollars, what would you do with it?

I know I would buy me a big house, buy me a new car, and put money back for my kids college. I would go on a shopping spry.

Id buy a REALLY nice computer, donate money to a good charity (one that doesnt get a filthy amount of money), pay my grandpa back for college, and buy my mom a really nice house and a goat. Shes always wanted a goat. Basically, I would spoil myself some, but try to do alot of good at the same time.

You couldnt give it ALL away. Naturally, youd be a hero to many, but you should spend some on yourself. Thats what id do, and its not really selfish.

But you can keep enough to make yourself comfortable/happy.

Id love to go to a grocery store, fill the cart with like one thing only, then buy it.

I'd be able to pay for all four years at St. Olaf without having to worry about my family going into debt. And if for some reason I didn't get in, I'd buy trhem a new wing for their library so then I could actually get in. And after that... no clue. I'd buy a Civic.

I would probably waste it all of jellybellies and crack. Alternately, I would pay a hit man to pay a visit to a certain scot and also get my uncle into rehabilitation. But jellybellies sound pretty good too.

Jesse, even with a million dollar hitman, I think that your...er... that scot... would be able to avoid any certain and inevitable death. I don't know, I just can't see him going down.

Hm. If I had that kind of money... then I'd probably do all the boring stuff, like save and donate it.
OH and travel...

I would take a nice holiday around the world for a year. Check out all the nice nightclubs and chicks.

After that I would move to the gold coast and buy a nice house and car and use the rest to help kick start my carrer in information technology.

Oh yeah! Adn I'd also go to this conference I was invited to by the INternation Mission of Diplomacy, which I can't go to now because I have to save for college. So yes, that million dollars sounds nice right about now. I really wanted to go to South Africa...

Buy a nice house, start a business, and make more money.

Unlike most people here I won't spend my money on useless things or things that are not worth anything.

I would rather spend my money by starting a business so then I wouldn't have to worry about "running out of money"

For myself, I'd get a car. Maybe a nicer apartment as well. Yeah, one that is more than one room and horribly slated would be nice... It also smells of gas for about a day anytime I use my oven... perhaps I should tell my landlord... Anyway... I'd also get a car for my bud Todd. I'd pay for all my nieces and nephews to get through college. Oh, the cousins too. There are 13 nieces and nephews and almost a dozen cousins... Hmmm... I think I'm out of money. But if there's more, I'd pay for my Daddy to retire.

First I would donate $200,000 to my dance company so they could buy a bigger nicer studio w/ new mirrors and floors, and really high ceilings. Then i would probably donate a whole bunch to a Chrones Disease foundation for my really good friend Stephanie who has Chrones Disease. I would also donate $100,000 to a cystic fibrosis foundation for my ballet teacher's brother who has cystic fibrosis. I would also probably find some other foundations and such to donate some too. Then i would buy myself and my parents brand new cars!!

The rest then for now, I would invest in the bank, and enjoy earning all the interest. From there, there are many things i'd like to do, but i think for the most part, i'd really like to sit back and see how i could use my money the most wisest.
