Question

I would buy 10,000 bags of fair trade coffee and let everyone get a free sample of it. I would host museum shows for rising artists that show cultural work to build their careers and I would introduce troubled teenagers to the world of dance and music, would host vegetable growing events for crime ridden communities and I’d host music competitions for rappers who want to rap about love and peace and I’d introduce a reward system in troubled schools where high achieving students get free groceries and steak dinners for two weeks and I’d introduce therapy pets to public libraries so people can get emotional support when they are lonely and I would host reading Q&A events and offer $20 gift cards to people every time they read a 600 page book, to improve literacy in North America and I’d get quotation posters where we show case the best of all religious traditions to spread religious tolerance and mutual respect for minority groups.

1- Buy all the clothes i want including from super expensive brands but mainly more normal ones so i don't waste too much money

2- Buy all the non fashion stuff that i have ever wanted (that aren't too expensive). plus replace my old phone and labtop with super new models that i could never afford (like the galaxy z flip thing.. those are so cool but so expensive.. :'( )

3- Change all the furniture in my room and basically completely revamp it

4- Get a car permit and buy a nice car but nothing too expensive (probably a bmw or something along those lines)

5- Put most of the money i got left aside and use it to pay for my food/necessecities/clothes for the next few years. I'll put a certain portion aside for travelling. And whatever's left i'll use it if i want to buy anything i don't really need. i'll budget it a little bit though so it lasts me long enough

So I'm an Engineer and a Designer

I always told myself i need probably only about 10 - 20% of that money for myself to live comfortably and enjoy life. Because frankly i want to work, life without work is more meaningless than a scarecrow in an empty field.

So anyway, i had an idea a few years ago about a reclamation / Improvement center. Basically a self-sustsining living facility for people at risk, poor, homeless, runaways, etc that focuses more on improving and giving them what they need vs. What we have.

It's basically like a tiny , small, or medium apartment complex engineered to maintain and control certain masses of people depending on their situation.

With onsite and work groups in the area that are dedicated to both improve them, and provide income and stability, but also improve and beautify the communities nearby.

No system is perfect, but i sometimes feel bad for those less fortunate than myself.

It depends on how much money we're talking about. If it's something like 2 million, my wife probably quit her job, we'd pay off the house, buy a new car, pay off our two daughter's college loans, give some to various charities and my church.

If it's something like 300 million, we'd do all the above, buy houses for our daughters, do some traveling, and I'd contact Michelle Branch, and cover all her finances for producing her West Coast Time record album, which never got off the ground due to record companies jerking her around. It would be a TRULY Indy record, and a gift to Michelle and her fans.

wingattebaby16 · Answer

depends on how much.

$1 million, keep most of it for the future in several banks. Buy several real estate houses to rent out. Would buy my bff a real house with no mortgage. go on a nice cruise, but since if you win $1 million, you only get $500K after taxes.. that is barely a nice house anymore.

$10 million or more? Take care of some family and friends for a home that is paid for. Buy real estate houses to rent. Bank the rest in lots of banks.

Give to Charity? i dont think so.. my fam and friends are my charity.

Dargil · Answer

Donate to some churches and charities.
Buy residences in Florida and offshore.
Fix my residence and sell it.
Purchase a Gulfstream and contract with a pilot on call.
Create education trust funds for my kids and possible grand children.
Upgrade my vehicles.
Travel a lot.
Replace my lousy teeth with implants.
Buy precious metals I physically possess so the government can't steal them and my wealth.
Collect exotic cars like Jay Leno.
I'm sure there's more. I haven't spent enough, yet.

I would buy an house for myself, another for my sister. I would also leave the country where I live, would get my driver's license, buy a brand new car. Then I would pay for my sister's medical treatments, I would travel around the world and I would give some money to charity.

Craftsman · Answer

The only people who would know I'd won anything would be me and my financial advisor. The money would be invested, and a portion of the earnings from those investments would go to a few charities, a search and rescue team know, and perhaps into a new computer system or website to promote the things that spark my passion.

Slartybartfast · Answer

I'd probably start a charitable trust, that way it would grow over time. We have a lot of extremally wealthy older people who created foundations to promote outdated 19th century ideologies that have grow into monsters that distorted our society and corrupted our legislation. Think koch foundation , ex plantation owner mentality founded by a guy who kept Hitler's war machine going using chemical technology he stole from his partner in the 1930's. (Seriously look it up)

Speed up some of my plans to move, buy a house instead of starting with rent. Share it with my parents and allow them to either move (if they want to), or do some of the renovation they have in mind. Put some aside for my niece. Give some to my sister. Help a few friends, not too much, whom I know have some money issues. Then save up for my future and my future children etc.
