What would you do if you had a million dollars?

I'm not seeing ammo on this list.

 

I would not give anything away at all. I'm not trying to be a dick, but as a Canadian I have already given a large percentage of my earnings "to the greater good", and I have been my family's bank for some time.

 

I would at first, but then it would just be the components, because I would "roll my own".

 

I'd love to win it big, but I don't play. As much as I love money, I like mathematics even more. Math tells me I'm much better off spending the money elsewhere.

 

The VLT's get you every time. Better to sit on down for a nice Newfoundland steak, with a bag of zesty/mordant for desert.

 

500k Retirement fund, 250k for investing, 250k for a new truck and to live off?

 

Stop dreaming about it, and do something. Start with scratching together what you can and buy this:

 

I will build a farm. This farm will produce organic food and chemical free water. This farm will provide as a shelter for those in need and ship it's remaining products to places in the world where people get almost nothing to drink/eat.

 

Who says I don't already have a million? Haha.
But, if I had an EXTRA stack of large bills..

• Pay off my Mom's house for her.
• Get a house on a hill for my wife.
  
• Quit my job and invest in new business.
  
• Invest a hundred grand in gold for the apocalypse.
• Set aside a hundred grand for maybe half of kid college expenses. (they can earn or borrow the rest)
  
• Save the final hundred grand for emergencies.

 

A single million tax free huh. Not an awful lot in todays financial markets.

Effectively pay off my remaining debts of 7 grand, take my yearly living costs for one year out, so I could focus on career development without needing menial work to support myself for that year and the remainder into rental property and other investments.
