Buy a house, send some to charities, spend on college, and other things.

Spend 100,000 to buy WP 3 or so really good servers, and all the software needed to make this place top notch, and ad free :wink: I would use the rest to fight global warming (there isnt any need for money if you dont have a planet to spend it on)

Well, with a tenth of it I could live quite a good life for the rest of my life with out working, so if you ever happen to win one million dollars, please give it to me, since I need them more, apparently.

I didn't say you couldn't live a good life with it, only that it wasen't a fortune, and my goal is to get rich.

I would probably end up paying for college, donating some to my college's XC and Track & Field program, and put the rest in the bank. Then I could invest it so that I could donate some to charity and give some money back to my college for scholarships to students. My college is very big on that, and I've come to appreciate it so much that I eventually want to be a donor after I graduate. I would probably also use some of it to get my potential aspie support group at my university a good start.

Sounds pretty good! :)

I would pay to fix up my current house that I share, then sell it. I would then buy a little house in the country (MT/WY/CO). I would also help out some of my family a bit, then I might go back to school...Oh ya, and waste a bunch on gadgets! :chin:

In that case...

1. Pay off my rather large student loan debt.
2. Pay off all my other debts.
3. What's left will be divided 4 ways: Me, my mom, my friend, and charitable contributions to a variety of charities.
4. My share will be split again 3 ways: Savings/retirement funds, education, and income supplementation.
5. Savings/retirement-Will be placed in a variety of funds with all interest/dividends returned to the funds; will not be touched until retirement.
6. Education-Will also be placed in a variety of interest/dividend bearing accounts; interest/dividends will be used to fund educational/training endeavors.
7. Income supplementation-Will also be placed in a variety of interest/dividend bearing accounts; interest/dividends will be directly deposited into a checking account and will be used as a supplement to my income and pay for things such as trips and purchases of things I might not be able to afford otherwise.

But that's just off the top of my head. :wink:

I'd keep a small amount for myself and travel, visit the places I've always wanted to go, travel to the theatres and operas, just enjoy it :)
I'd leave some to my mother, ensure that she'd be financially stable for the rest of her life :)
I'd give some to the Jewish Museum near me who are severly lacking donations which people just don't seem to care about :/

And the rest, charity can have it =]

If I do ever happen to have a car, I would fully customize it.... And when a car hits it, there be no damage done! :D
