What would you do...

[Vivian]

Help my friend out with his bills, buy my own damn car, and go on a vacation. With lots of shopping... heh

[bean]

Jump for fucking joy, pay off my credit card debt/hospital debt, buy a new car, go on vaction w/ my friends!

[soothsayer]

Pay off all my debt's and make a few people that need a good ass kicking miserable.

[DarkVampire]

Invest half of it to make more money. Take a few months to visit Europe.

[Soulrev]

use it to pay off my student loans and open my own shop...

Or build a really nice 750,000 dollar home and invest the rest of the money.

[honeymustard02]

I'd help set my parents up and pay off everything for them. Then I would take care of myself. Oh I would also buy my aunt the house she's always wanted

[Brenda Starrr]

I would take care of my parents first. I hate seeing them struggle. I would buy them a nice condo. Then, I would pay off all of our crap and buy a house. Investing is a good thing as well.

[Vater Araignee]

Purchase a 4 bedroom house and a gas electric hybrid car.

Invest the rest

Work for the next five years.

Start a nonprofit company that that owns an apartment complex and only hires the homeless long enough to get them on their feet.

Make some films.

That's funny....I have also been thinking about that idea as well! I see so many homeless people in downtown Baltimore.

heh, go figure.. i've actually started working on my plans to do that. Theres an old hotel on west grand blvd. that i wanted to renovate, near grand river. I want to look into grants and see if i cant fix it up, and start a homeless shelter/low income family housing. I took training at east texas crisis center while i was down there. if more people thought they way you guys do, we could really help less fortunate people.

if anyone has any ideas on how to go about it, i would greatly appreciate it.

[Brenda Starrr]

Vivian, that's awesome! I love the fact that you are looking into it. I honestly don't know where to start or who to call.

[Vivian]

I know what i want to do, how i want it set up. I know the kind of people i want to staff it. Its just getting your foot in the door. Im thinking about visiting the covenant house in detroit, to see if i can talk to the person who founded them, although i know they get their funding from private donors. *sigh* but thanks for the encouragement, brenda starr.

[JaneDead]

-i would help all the people i know that are stuggling (my immediate family included )

-invest

-put aside money for my kids for school and for our retirement

-donate (not just randomly, only to causes/areas of need that i genuinely care about and would donate to at this very moment if i had the extra money and donate my time as well. things like habitat for humanity-even though they are non-profit it all has to come from somewhere, battered women and children, special needs children whose medical or schooling are too pricey for the families, homeless shelters)

-start up a business

i wonder if a million could really stretch as far as i would need it to?

[Brenda Starrr]

I can't believe that I forgot this one:

I would donate a large sum to Villa Maria. The Villa is where my son had to live for 8 months. It's a residential therapy center for special needs children. We go there every week for therapy. They made a huge, significant change in our lives, especially Ian's life. I'll always be grateful for what they've done for our family and the support that they continue to give.

[Homicidalheathen]

Pay my man back by spoiling him for the rest of his life. A house in Pheonix, a mustang....vacations to amsterdam lol.

[The_Dark]

Hrmmm.. Only a million? I can't take over the world with only a million. What else to do...

Buy a large lump of land in the middle of nowhere and build a self sustaining farm complex.

[Guest Megalicious]

I dont know thats a good question ...

I'd like to be a good person and say I d do all this shit to try to help the world .. or help myself .. but hell I just know its not true.

In the current mood I'm in I'd probably take my million to Vegas, drive out to meadview and tell my mom I love her ... and then proced to drink my self into a coma or untill i die ... I know its so leaving las vegas .. ... thats how i feel at the moment ...

[phee]

Get a financial lawyer so I might still have some of it in a year.

[Slept with ghost]

buy enough top raman to feed the world

[Vivian]

buy enough top raman to feed the world

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

haha yeah thats a good one!

[Slept with ghost]

its an idea ive been thinking of for a while now raman for the world i cant really think of any reason that it wouldnt work and hell it probally wouldnt take as much as a million $ 1000 should do for a while

[capuchin]

...study something completely fun, interesting and impractical in grad school, since I wouldn't need to worry about getting funded or eventually paying off student loans....

[gothicmom]

get out of debt

invest in our future

buy a house

cars

[ManicQueen]

I'd buy some badass carnival rides and set up shop in my backyard. Oh and a giant cotton candy machine.

[Goth Brooks]

I'd let the interest grow for 2yrs and continue working at my job, and then live off the interest.
