If you just won a MILLION DOLLARS what would you do

[kossBass]

Lets just say If you just won a MILLION DOLLARS what would you do honest? .. as for me i'll open

up a business a mall / a factory a good income place to get more money so it can last

[SweetBrenda]

A nice house by the beach.

Then I would open up my own Chocolate Factory.. who doesn't love chocolate? ( to day-dream doesn't

cost a dime huh? )

[einstein]

Definitely work less. Go out

drinking more. Maybe buy some TV commercials for my friend, he's running for governor. A car, pay off student

loans. A new wardrobe. That should cover it, maybe invest some.

[Numanoid]

I would travel...visit some far

off lands (just not in the Middle East)

[Bruce]

Hire someone to run Love Scent for

me and move to Thailand or Tahiti; make a maximum of one business phone call per day; catch waaaay up on my reading;

jog on the beach and go to the gym every day; swim a lot; buy nice things for my wife; buy a lot of herbs and

vitamins for myself; lay in a hammock and listen to the surf crash on the beach.... more stuff as it occured to me.

:0)

I'd buy a lot of chocolate

and entice Brenda my way!

[Holmes]

I'd have to say that I would work

harder and worry less, if that makes any sense.

"Invest, move, and pay for studies" would

comprise the main plan.

Traveling would be in there somewhere, as well.

[beachboy]

I'd give 100.000 away for

cancer research.
I'd invest 500.000 in my future plastic surgery clinic.
and the rest of that money for a

house at south beach, and a nice car.

hehe aren't you asking for a lot ... besides most of it you can do it now

hehe since you got a wicked ass business runnin ...

[belgareth]

I'd probably do almost nothing

different than what I am doing now. Now that it is large enough that others do most of the real work I enjoy running

my business; it gves me plenty of free time to travel and spend with Jessica. What I didn't donate or give to my

kids would probably end up in investment accounts.

[burgerama1960]

I would buy everyone here a

big supply of their favorite mones so we can all conquer the world. And all be one happy group of friends.

[Whitehall]

The first thing any of us would

do is pay income taxes on the winnings through withholdings.

With the $600,000 left, I'd make a nice down

payment on a 3 bedroom two bath, 1400 square foot ranch house here in Silicon Valley. I could just barely buy that

starter home outright but better to use OPM - maybe 20% down or $120K. That leaves $480K

The balance, after

debt payout (down to $450K), would go into stocks but weighted towards energy stocks, especially companies that won

large amounts of PROVEN natural gas. I'd set aside maybe $100k to buy options on natural gas since the price is

set to go through the roof later this summer and later next winter (assuming normal weather.)

By next spring,

I'd get my downpayment back.

So how do I win a million?

[TopDawg2050]

10 supercomputers, a T3

connection, and my dream car, a 1973 Austin Mini Cabriolet in Tahiti Blue

[a.k.a.]

So how do I win a

million?

Become a live music promoter!
Just get me the $2 million startup capital and I'll show

you how it works.

[SwingerMD]

Me, I'd buy a decent condo (max

$300k) and invest $250k. With the remaining $50,000 I'd buy a kick ass Mac G5 setup with the new 30" flat screen,

max out the RAM, add in as many large internal drives as I can, a brand new Epson wide format printer . . . and

perhaps treat myself to that L-Series Canon lens that I've been drooling over, or

two.

There are so many sensible ways to

spend a million dollars. But, knowing myself, I’d probably “start” by treating myself to a nice little island

vacation; and it probably wouldn’t end until my money ran out.

[TopDawg2050]

A three month long cruise in

the carribean, in the penthouse suite!!!!!

[handtohandking]

LOL, I like this...



First, I would be jumping for joy as I drove my brand new fully loaded '04 BMW 760Li off the dealer lot...



Here's a pic...

I would

then buy me a nice house around my way, nothing too astonishing, maybe 3 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, a pool in the back,

with chandeliers and interesting artifacts, relics, and artwork decorating the place. I can't forget the monster

entertainment system...

I'll spend a couple pennies on getting a killer warddrobe, all the finest

linens and things, colognes, pheromones, gadgets, ya know...

After that I would put 50G's in each of my little

brother and sister's accounts, and give my mother 100G's just for being Mom...

I will then put 100G's

in my own account just to be safe...

And with the remaining $100,000+ I have left, I will open up a business. It

doesn't have to be some hugely profitable future monopoly; as long as I enjoy what I'm doing, it's all good. I

have so many ideas in my pseudo-entrepreneurial head, so I'm not sure...

And while relaxing and loving life, I

will pursue higher enlightenment...and maybe publish a book or two....

Wait a minute, I can attempt that

now...

[SweetBrenda]

I'd buy a

lot of chocolate and entice Brenda my way!

..... sweeeet...

[TopDawg2050]

United Airlines, hey, its a gamble but if ya play your cards right you'd rule almost as much as me

[DCW]

Buy a house $180.000, buy a car

$30.000, buy some land as an investment.
Bank and invest the rest so I can fulfill my ambition on being the

world's laziest man.

[Rover The Dog]

Wagg-N I have been saving for a new car and bank/invest the rest. Speaking of which though i was looking on the

sight and trying to find the wagg with androstenone but couldnt...
