Just wanted to add you can actully make a decent living off of either of those as it is. As long as you are smart about it (I.E. start your own garage or sell and install steroes)

I'd keep doing what I'm doing.
A million dollars is nothing worth doing anything different about.
If you would do things differently with a million dollars you aren't doing things right.

Id start small, buy myself a Subaru WRX Sti. Then buy my parents something for putting up with all my shit. Pay for college, and then invest the rest.

I am not going to rant again but I would say you would not that kind of money in the bank. I know most people here don't have that much money right now but we could all start investing. But even more so the people with that type of money are losing money by leaving it in a savings account.

I would buy a car, a house, pay for school, and save and invest the rest.

If I were you I'd think about getting a new microwave.

What! You won a million dollars! Whopee! oh, wait a minute, I just read this thread a little more carefully. IF you had a million dollars. I see. Oh well, it was nice while it lasted.....
;)

If i had a million dollars; I would pay off my debts; buy a house; and bank the rest.

Start drinking, and see what happened from there.

And what do you hope to acheive by drinking 3 liters of water a day?

I'd pay off my current debts, pay off my parents' mortgage, buy a nice ride like a BMW X5, or Infiniti G35 Coupe, buy a nice house, and invest the rest and hopefully live off of it for many moons.

First I would pay off my student loans. Then I would buy a vacation for parents. They lived here in the states for 22 years and haven't gone on vacation together yet. After that I would buy a new car, medium sized single house, possibly go back to college and get another degree, set up a high speed computer network in my house, take a vacation to a tropical island.

I'd help my parents pay off their debts, buy a big screen tv and a new computer, and stash the rest of the money under my pillow.

I would give at least half to my parents. I would like them to retire in style. $500K is plenty for me.

With that I would buy an H2, and a townhome in the mountains. That should take care of it.

My wife said I couldn't have two chicks at a time. so i guess I'd pay off the house , college for the kids and retire early to florida.

I'd pay down some of my mortgage.

"I'd buy an exotic pet...like a llama or an emu!"

Not work for the rest of my live, there is nothing worse than work.

i would invest it until it became a few hundred million. then, when i'm old, i would record an album of just me burping for 30 minutes or so, distribute it to record stores, and then purchase every single copy so i could say i had the #1 selling album of all time.

I've promised friends a new couch, relatives new cars, and myself a new house. With a room where everything's made out of Lego, just to be wacky.

Pay off the mortgages, the car and the credit cards, and put a deposit on another place where we want to live (near the beach).

Several things:
1) I'd buy a freaky old lady named Cocaine Katie to embroider all my jeans.
2) I'd pay my poor old gray-haired daddy to drive my limousine.
3) I'd buy a lot of little teenage blue-eyed groupies to do anything I say.
4) I'd buy a genuine Indian guru to teach me a better way.
5) I'd buy all the friends that money can buy so I'll never have to be alone. And I'd keep getting richer, but I couldn't get my picture on the cover of "The Rolling Stone."

New computer, bunch of DVD's and games, give some to my parents and put the rest on the bank. Nothing fancy here.
