---Would you try to live off of it for the rest of your life? Assuming you could?
---Or would you start a business that might generate more income? ---Maybe give some away to charity, or family? ---Take vacations that you never had the money to take before? ---Perhaps buy your annoying neighbors house and kick em out? Or better yet, buy a new house and move away from annoying neighbor? ---Or maybe do all of those things. My aunt just passed away and left my cousin A Million and he can't decide how to use it. Poor guy. If only I had that same decision to make. Granted, a Million is not what it used to be, but it's still allot. It would be tough for me to decide what to do with it. But, I know I would start a business. If not for big profits, then for something to do. But what would you do? |

I would get help from a financial person. I would try to invest and give to charity and help some of my relatives. I wouldn't go crazy with it.

I would try to find a way to invest it safely and use most of the interest to supplement my income, and/or maybe buy a tiny apartment. I would probably set aside some for charities as well.

Give to charities. Give to friends and family. Pay bills.
Also massive amounts of hookers and cocaine. |

Give some to Friends and Family, and donate to charities !
Live off of it modestly, so it would last me and I wouldn't have to work anymore!! that would REALLY be a dream!! Not to sound lazy or anything , but I'm not a person who really enjoys working very much!

I'd have to move into a secret bunker and go off the grid if my family knew I had that kind of money.

If I were to get a massive inheritance or win a huge lottery, I'd sure like to give some to Family and Friends, but I think I wouldn't let on to them just HOW much I had!!!

A million is just enough to live comfortably but not quit your job. This is my pipe dream
:1. Go to Vegas for a week living large ($5,000 total) 2. Pay off bills for me, mother and brother. 3. Buy a new Ford Focus 4. Invest in municipal bonds and mutual funds – live off the interest and my salary 5. Give monthly to local food banks and advocate charities for children/women/elderly |
