let's see...
buy an island out of sight of the mainland. no wait a minute, that takes closer to a billion. adjust aspirations downwards.
i would buy a house on a cliff overlooking the pacific ocean, in northwestern washington state. i would own a recording studio. i would have a 30-car garage with enough cars to drive a different one every day of the month. i would make myself go back to college and get a music degree, even though i have next to no musical talent. i would insist my older sister retire NOW. i would buy a local used record store downtown. i would own a high-end audio/video salon that would cater to regular folk and not highfalutin' audio/video snobs. i would start a small charity fund.
all of these things are individual courses of action, a million is totally insufficient to do them all. that is why i would rather rephrase the question and say "if i had a BILLION dollars" - now THAT's the stuff.

I would put a few thousands in stocks.
Buy a house.
Give thousands to charities/causes I believe in.
Give some to my best friend for she is in need.
Save most.
Spend some on my new interests, and my art, painting, etc.. to get more supplies.
Go on the Disney Cruise.
Buy some clothes, since I been wearing the same for too long.

I see, you suddenly decided to use my idea very much and turned it into a billion... :lol:
