What would you do if you had 1 million dollars?
« on: July 18, 2016, 05:18:53 am »
I think the main problem is when people win the lottery, they blow it all not realizing that once it’s gone, it’s gone.  Because I’m not a big spender, I would put it in the bank.  Some would go into the checking and saving to pay off bills and some would go into a money market and stock to try and make more.  I certainly wouldn't blow it.

I would take care of first things first. Invest it for a secure retirement. Then I would help family.

Pay off bills, start my own business, build my own house and invest the rest.

I would pay off all my bills and do some work on my house so I can sell it and move to the town where my daughter lives.  I would also buy we a new Ford Escape and then put the rest in the bank.

a million doesn"t go as far as it used to.I would do the usual pay off bills and save some.If I could i'd buy a ranch and have horses and other animals  but i'd need more then a million.

I would find me a smart investment advisor, donate to some charities and I would love to be a "secret Santa" kind who helps out our homeless cause I see too many of them on street corners.

I would sell my house and move closer to the beach, just for the cooler temperatures.   It's at least 10 degrees cooler there.   Unfortunately, one million isn't much in California, the house would be very small and not that close... but closer ;)

After taxes, that one million is under a million, so you have invest what you have left and let it grow to a million or more.
