    Default If you won $1 million......

    what would you do with it?

    I'd probably pay off my house and pay the taxes for it up to 20 years, then buy my mother a house in SC, possibly considering painting my car and putting the rest in a CD or possibly opening a couple of savings accounts and just live off the interest.

    That's me, what about ya'll?

    K series 626. That's right. It's got a K in it.

    is this before or after tax?

    either way, nothing.. 1 million really aint ****.. live off interest? no..

    pay off house, yes..

    I would invest in FL homes.. not right now, i would wait a little since the market is still going down.. I believe FL will be the first real estate market to go back up..

    more importantly, with this economy, i would transfer it to a bank account overseas..

    I would invest 800,000 and let simmer for 3 yrs. And handle my future business with 100,000 and take the other 100 and take care of (some) family and myself.

    You do realize even if you put the whole million in a CD you'd only get about $35-40k a yr right now? CD rates are only around 3.5-4% and you'd have to pay taxes on that.

    Two chicks at the same time. (first!)

    Haha, I'd pay my parents back for everything they've put into my education, and then put most of it in savings. Nothing like a nice chunk of change to get started with. Of course I'd probably put about a few thousand into my car

    My house has apprased for $125k and I only have around 70k left to pay. In reality, you could live off interest if you're not trying to blow it on everything. My current bills aren't huge so it's very possible. And living off at least $700K interest is very possible if done properly. Though more than likely it would probably be reinvested to double the amount.

    K series 626. That's right. It's got a K in it.

    lol, so many dumb people on here that would buy a house or a nice car, lol

    I'd take a month off, even two, and then I'll get in touch with a financial firm. I'll make further decisions from there.

    And an even "dumber" person with nothing worthwhile to add. Why is anyone "dumb" for wanting to purchase a nice, new home and car? What's "dumb" about that? This is what I will do in a few years and I'm hardly "dumb." Later, QD.

    ur the dumb one.

    I rather pay off a house so that i dont have to worry about a rent. But than i have to agree with u saying "I'd take a month off, even two, and then I'll get in touch with a financial firm."

    I'd want to buy a nice townhouse and then set up a reverse mortgage on it
    And pay off my car and my fiance's car, as well as set aside enough to pay for our wedding. I think i'd pay off my roommate's car too, if he wanted us too, and clear us of credit card debt.

    that alltogether would add up to around half. I'm talkin a really nice townhouse

    Oh, i was assuming a million after taxes.

    I think i'd offer to help my parents and my soon-to-be inlaws get out of debt as well. And my fiance wants a skyline, so i'd help out with that.

    Whatever was left i would split evenly between a bank account, Child's Play, the Humane Society, and the American Heart Association. The bank account would go to paying for my kids' college.

    How come none of you guys donated anything?

    I think a house is probably good enough. Though I'd probably donate to a boys and girl's club if I were to donate. Maybe like $10K only because I used to go to one as a child.

    K series 626. That's right. It's got a K in it.
