get in to investment realty, that is a booming business, a million would be a good start to buying property, could probably make it 2 million within a few years.

Invest in something, not sure...but I would give my parents some, so they could fix up their house and get their business totally squared away..then probably start my own business.

i would still work. I enjoy my job, and don't want to become a paronoid recluse because of the by chance I have money.

I live a good life now so if I got that much money most of it would be to secure a consistent future and not to bolster a life I already have fun living

I would use it to buy more money

FlatLand Flyer · 12-11-2004, 01:36 PM

Pay off my massive student loans
Buy a brand new Toyota Tacoma
Invest 500k with my step-uncle who cannot lose money with whatever he does
Put most of the rest into some sort of safe, higher interest account

Stick · 12-11-2004, 02:01 PM

Invest it and reinvest the interest. I like the job I do (plasterer) so I'd keep on working. Not as hard as I do now but enough to keep me amused.

StormBerlin · 12-12-2004, 01:25 AM

My answer isn't any more original. I would buy a house (around $250,000), pay for school (right now, I owe about $4,000 for the past two years, plus two more to come at least), then invest the rest.

I'd buy you an exotic pet! Yup! Like a llama...or an emu!

Points to anyone who gets that reference.

I love it...

BNL...I said something similar before I read your post.

Personally, I'd like to pay Jennifer Lopez to perform in my study only wearing a towel.

In all seriousness, I would think invest it in some fiberoptic cable running hrough the northern silicon valley. I figure in a few years when fiberoptic broadband kicks in, I'll have my foot in the door.

Or I could invest in some local music talent. I figure that a lot of popular bands have come from the san jose/san francisco bay area. Can you imagine owning a fraction of huge sellout bands like Smashmouth or the Grateful Dead?

Or I could buy a small house (because thats all a million will get you here) and wait for it to gain in worth as the market grows.

I would pay off my own debt and then at least a majority of the debt of friends and family. I would then put a portion of the money in an income-oriented investment to supplement my current salary and the remaining monies in a series of diversified investments.

I don't think I would do much spending if I won $1 million...it's just not that much money anymore. Now, make it $20 million and everyone is going to Vegas on me.

I would probably just bitch and moan about losing a third of it the the US gov't. Then after that infest and see how much dicking off I can do before I get fired. Pay off my debts and finish my degree.
