What would you do with a million dollars today ?...:)

Buy a modest house with some land and start a nonprofit for homeless children.

Alright, I'll go too! In this order...
Firstly I'd sign for this 10day retreat in Peru lead by that inspiring to me woman....
I'd book that Külning (traditional herding singing to call cows in Sweden) for a week in Sweden.
Of course I'd sent a bit of money to two bright Nepali bright youngsters I've met..:)
I'd buy myself some nice clothes and care products! 🌸
I'd find a nice home in nature with a fireplace or stove, nearby waters and settle for a little while. (With wifi !!!)
I'd buy a new powerful (but light, I love traveling light!) MacBook. I'm techy but it's been a while I had access to any good machinery.
I'd built my site from scratch properly this time. I'd make everything efficient, all of the places I'm contacting (my mailbox, social media platforms, my accountant's stuff)..

I'd invest a bit of money to my flat on my island and when the renting contract is over, I'd suggest my sister to move into it.
I'd gift my family these gifts: a nice clothing item each and a yearlong subscription to some lessons/club of their choice and a ten days trip to a destination of their choice each.
I'd invest in property on a small Greek island.

Okay these for now because I can keep on for a long time apparently 🤭🌞

Oh yes and of course I'd be taking frequent trips to my Chinese dojo to refresh my martial arts.
And I'd buy art materials of my choice.
I didn't refer to those because of course I'd do these...:))
Hmm long text but I like long dreams 😘

Wait till the election and the second Trump is announced the winner buy shares if oil company stock. 0ne million dollars worth.

I’d like to buy everyone a cookie 🍪

I'd just pay bills with it for a long time. Sorry lol boring 🙄

Buy gold & silver after acquiring an off-grid rural home…and a nicely built camper van.

$100K to my church off the top. Put $500K into our retirement account, which would definitely make the total large enough to take care of us until we die. Put $50K into each grandchild's college savings account. Donate the rest to our favorite charities.

Pay off the motorhome and the credit card. Put a new roof on the house. Replace our driveway. Look at new impact resistant windows and doors. I would also look at hurricane shutters. The motorhome could use a new set of tires too. Then I would invest the rest and take the motorhome out for a month.

Buy a holiday place for all my family to be in together ..pay for my nephews special schooling..put some in a trust fund for my kid..ensure care for my parents..buy a lifetime supply of oats.

Pay off daughters home loan, give other daughter $400,000 to buy a home, and do some travelling

Pay off debt, splurge once on a nicer car, buy a couple of condos and rent them out for steady income. Invest the rest at a measly 5% and live off the interest annually. Hire a financial planner to keep it all going.

Invest in property or businesses, or both, for some more income. Complete house renovations. Book a holiday to Iceland. And I’d like to buy a tonne of land for a big dog sanctuary for ones who can’t find homes or have been mistreated, but somewhere nicer than a kennels.

Pay off my mortgage, put the rest in my retirement account, maybe keep 20 grand to go-to Vegas and do some stuff...whatever happens in Vegas stays in Vegas

Put it in the bank, Go to work, and not tell anyone

quit work, just be lazy and play video games all day, buy a girl slave to keep

Leave it all in my will for my daughter.

A million dollar lottery win in Massachusetts is immediately taxed 50%. BUT...if it were tax free, I would buy a small ranch style house, and the rest of the money would have to go for taxes, for heating, and for air conditioning.

Invest.

Buy a modest home modest car….maybe a loaf of bread

pay off debt, buy another house. fix it up and buy another one

Pay off my jeep. Repair my home. Go to Egypt for 2 months. Go crazy at the nursery. Invest. Buy another home to rent out for income. And give a bunch to the local dog rescues and a couple of horse ones too.

How about you, elafina? What would you do?

Invest at least half so I'll have enough later to live on and help out family when needed.

The other half I'd buy a wheelchair accessible home and vehicle for my family. Fix and replace the things that need it. A real vacation would be nice if there was anything left😃

Do a massive amount of upgrading and maintenance on my house and garden and buy each of my children a place of their own so that i could have my own house to myself!

buy a house by the beach, travel a little, have a little business like a service funeral for dogs to their last destination, either by cremation or an orchard to bury them.

Retire

Retire 😊😃

Put it in my bank account while I think about how best to spend it. Do some research into charities, look for a 1 bedroom apartment to buy.

I would take time out from life. Make sure I had a passive income. Travel and help the people that I love.

Heck, buy you all a much better cookie than Iknowyourouttheresomewhere. Of course 😁

Have some work done around the house, buy some books, invest most of it.

Refurbish the house, lock 50% of it away for retirement and invest the other 50%.

Pay kids debts off then buy a camper van or boat and set off travelling

Me and Lady Crush would be taking a long vacation.

Call me old, but I would pay off all my bills first

Invest it in undervalued stocks with higher than average return and lower than average risk, and a percentage into previous metals.

Buy a house. Renovate it. Sell it. Then do it again

Hopefully get out of debt!

Use it as a down payment for a house.

Buy 2 houses
Book a holiday
Get a full time carer for my dad

Save it

I would lose my old age pention payments.

Initially put it in 4 different savings accounts with 4 different banks (due to the limits of FDIC insurance) with the highest interest rates today, put the interest from each in a 5th account at a 5th bank, and then consider anything else after this basic step (e.g., tolerance for risk of dividend stocks if the Fed lowers interest rates)

Lament about losing 60% in taxes, then buy that run down 2 bed 1 bath shack with the rest.
