What would you do with $10 million ?

Post Reply New Topic

put $2 million in an annuity and retire on the proceeds. send my sister to college. publish my nephew's books. underwrite a local peer support social work program so folks not on medicaid could access it. donate a big chunk to the local park so they wouldn't be so dependent on yearly donations. any leftovers would go to childfund international.

Keep arround 20 thousand to help paying future debt and other needs. Then proceed to burn the rest, wealth is for greedy neurotypicals.

Buy a house in the middle of nowhere. I'm not sure it would change my life much, I'd still stay in all the time.

Step 1. Give up work

Step 2. Give loved ones a bit

Step 3. Buy a cottage in the countryside or near the seaside (with my boyfriend)

Money freaks me out more than a little bit. I would not deal well with a sudden influx of a large amount of money. Nope.

First off, save $2.4 million for college, $4 for starting my own country, and the rest for paying bills, buying a car, taxes, etc.

my dream, if to live my life out on my own, would be to buy an a-frame cabin in a mountain town community and live out the rest of my life there studying in tranquility alongside a traditional siamese cat in nature. the base floor area would be made into a japanese inspired mini dojo, the main floor would be where the front door, kitchen, bath and small study were, and the loft would my sleep area until too old to use stairs... but if anything like my grandpa upon reaching that age, my study chair would just become my bed. as for the rest of the money, it’d just be put aside for groceries, supplies, replacing worn clothing, cab rides, cellphone bills, utilities, insurances, taxes, home maintenance, and unexpected things like home repairs, veterinary, medical, dental bills, and possibly the hiring of help of an aid in old age... that, and the costs for handling my cremation and ashes upon death.

I'd donate eight million to worthy charities in hopes of making the world a better place.

The other two million I'd blow on booze and whores!

1. Try to return it, if it was lost or stolen.
2. Give 10% each to my church, elementary, and high school.
3. Pay taxes on the $10million.
4. Pay off my student loans.
5. Repay my parents and sister for supporting me financially recently.
6. Pay for someone to teach me how to become independent.
7. Invest the rest of it.

I couldn't possibly spend all that money.
I would donate some of it to build low income housing for homeless people.

It would be a terrible curse. I'm glad this isn't happening.

10 million? Bah, I'm a 100 trillionare:

1. Build a relatively small soundproof concrete bunker like house into the side of a hill or cliff. Since I would probably lose my subsidized housing. I would budget about a million dollars or less for the land and construction of the house.

2. I would invest the rest of the money, and live off the interest. Which would probably still be a lot more then I need. So I would give away the extra to anyone who truly needed it. I would not give any of it to ripoff charities.

Buy stocks in apple or Nintendo.

I'd use some to pay for my college education, help my mom fix up our house, buy my dad a house and help him with his dream business, and buy my aunt a new car. With the rest, I would donate it to the Humane Association and ASPCA to help animals.
