Question

If you were given 1million dollars, what would you do with it?

Answer 1

Invest it....and do what I currently do, only with more free time.

<<international aid worker

Answer 2

Travel the country and minister to survivors of child abuse and domestic violence...bringing them hope for a much better tomorrow.  I'm a survivor myself and counsel others now.

Answer 3

Pay off my bills, buy a house (a normal one...not a big fancy thing), invest the rest, and give something to charity dealing with the elderly.   I would probably splurge on a Balenciaga  bag too.  LOL.

Oh yeah...and quit my job.

Answer 4

First pay off the last of that pesky student loan. Then give to my family. My honey & I always talk about how cool it would be to have $100 & just hand it to someone who looks like they could use it... mom struggling with a screaming toddler & a beat up car, Senior citizen who is debating between med's & food, all the guys sleeping on the air vents downtown tonight (they are there!) ect. So we would like to be stocked up on $'s for randomly handing them out.

I recently read there was a guy who used to do random acts of kindness like this in Kansas City & unfortunately he passed away.

I'd probably save the rest & take a tiny portion to play w/in the stock market. I don't really have any needs or wants.

Answer 5

This may sound lazy but I'd buy whatever I want, put a portion of it in a high interest bank account, & then do nothing. I might travel or that sort of thing but I sure wouldn't work.

Answer 6

20% to church and pay my bills and get a extended cab truck, get new clothes and get my oldest daughter a good down payment on a house, a get a house for us too and new furnature

Answer 7

I would try and build a place for children to live and go to school and be free of child abuse.

Answer 8

#1)buy a new car for my parents, they drive a realy old one

#2)give a couple thousnd to my sister to help her through university

#3) put it into the bank for when i go to colledge

#4) go shopping!

Answer 9

Invest it.

Answer 10

develop sustainable programs that will bring comfort and hope to our hurting world..

Answer 11

I'd keep 10,000 for myself and my husband to spend on things we want.  The rest of the money ... $990,000 ... would go to the Catholic church to buy an apartment building and fix it up to use as free 'temporary housing' to help the homeless get out of the street and back to a good normal life.  My husband and I were both homeless, and we know how bad a person feels ... we are now living in a nice secure apartment, and my husband is making over $60,000 a year.  We give 5-10% of our income to homeless charities, but we would love to provide a place where people could get out of the gutter and start to make a good new life for themselves.
