I'd go to Vegas with my friends to celebrate. But making sure I spent no more than $10K. Which means paying for a hotel in advance, and leaving all my cards at home.

I'd make myself comfortable with maybe $100,000 in new toys like a car, home theater, computer, etc. and pay off any debts. Then make my parents a little more comfortable by about $100,000 as well.

I'd try investing about $50,000 and save the rest.

Buying an Alienware ALX desktop and laptop would be my first priority, and then... well... I don't have the slightest idea.

Easy buy a house big enough for me and my friends (rl and internet ones) to live in together with a massive home cinema system. Then give my friends loans so they can get through college (no interest, I would say pay for it all, but they are all proud lol)

I'd find some really cool place where a million dollars could be exchanged for a million pounds, which is more.
Then I'd give some of it to my coucillor, cos she was really great and got me through my depression!
Then I'd buy some land for my environmentally friendly cult, pay off my mum's morgage, buy the Lushee Sisters an apartment and cure global warming. Then world hunger. Then I'd buy lawers so I could destroy evil corparations like Ford and Disney. Then I'd buy a magic key so I could steal everyone's SUVs so they could never drive them again.
As you can see, today's British teenagers are not good at bugetting

First, I'd make sure any debts my family and I had were paid. Definetely buy a new car. I'm sure I'd travel, but I don't know for sure what I'd do with the rest. I'll have to think about it.

I would get my driverslicence. (about 1500 euros)
I would rent myself a nice house for me and my boyfriend. (about 500 euros paid in advance)
I would give my parents some money. (like 10.000 or something)
I would buy some stuff for me & my boyfriends house.
I would put the rest away, just save the rest

Umm, A million dollars is nothing really. At least in Los Angeles. I guess I'd just buy me my fav vehicle, Buy my mom a home in texas, Pay my apartment for a whole year, and then the rest I'd just invest it.

Now 3 million is a different story!

Humm... I'm having a million pounds, cos it's more

I'd pay off mine, Johny's and his parent's debts. I'd buy three nice cars for Johny's parents, Johny and myself, and get me and Johny some driving lessons so we could get our licence. In a few years I'd like to buy my council house, and extend it to have a bigger kitchen, bathroom and an extra bedroom. I'd save some of it for Sammie for when she's older (some for university if she decides to go, or maybe to set up her own business or get her own flat). The remainder I would save and invest, and hopefully live off the interest.
