Title: What would you do if you won 1 million dollars.
Post by: Daft Pink on July 16, 2008, 05:10:27 PM
Just curious to see what some of you people would say. :P

I would probably save some of it for college, and the rest for me to just buy stuff I want. I would probably donate some to here and charity too. I'm not really sure I would do this though, I would have to win those 1 million dollars first and see what I really want to do.

Not much, a million doesn't exactly buy a lot these days.

Half million: Bills.
Two thousand: Forums
Everything else: Gaming stuff.
Half of everything else: College.

I would probably donate around $10k to here, spend a good deal on gaming stuff, get a new guitar and amp, save some for a car, save some for college, save more for other stuff.

take maybe $100,000 and spend it on what ever I want. The rest can go into savings, $100,000 is enough for me

Put it in the bank and make more money. Start a business and make more money. 1 million just is not enough in our modern world.

I'd recommend several. FDIC only insures 100k in any one account if a bank goes under. The other problem is that, unfortunately, banks typically don't keep pace with inflation, so you'd need to invest in the stock market (ponzi scheme lol) in order to have the money keep its value.

As for me, I'd buy myself a PS3, a new computer, give away 10 or 20% to charity, and save/invest the rest for school and the future.

Invest it in a nice mutual fund, get a few CDs, and bonds and have a steady supply of renewable income for years to come.

Put half of it in a savings account, put half of what's left towards college, and the rest?  Splurge!

When the second half is half of the first half, you're left with half of a half also called a quarter.

Buy some property, build a house with a 10 car carage and put the rest in savings. There might not be much left after that though...

You can't.

Godly gaming computer (I'm talking something that could cost around $10,000). Other stuff. Savings.

That can be done for a million in our area but it won't last for long. Property prices are creeping up here because of the wine industry.
