If you tweeked the question to how do you (as in the poster) spend 1 million the answers could be really down-to-earth. If you are averaging 50k or more a year and you are in the labor force for 20 years or more you made over 1 million dollars in your working life. In that idea how you one could run a broad/loose expense report --of just the bigger expenses we could all give you really boring but personalized answers.

For me my mortgage is my biggest ongoing expense by far. Car is next and then it kinda muddles together from taxes, to health insurance, food, pet care and lagging behind is education (now long ago paid off) I spend less on recreation than probably most people and way less than I spend on pet care. But my hobbies are cheap hobbies / hobby choice can really impact that.

@robertsnj So I was referring mainly to the [b]dumbest[/b] ways that you could quickly spend it without realizing it, because as I was telling some other commenters, it's just way too easy.

But I like your response 🤷‍♀️. Very thought provoking.

@latinbutterfly thanks for grading me on a curve. Ok got it dumb ways----um I live an hour from Atlantic City. I would drive to AC (jersey slang for Atlantic City ) gamble like a high roller and take ship cruises out on the Atlantic every night for however long it would take to blow through 1 million. Maybe I could throw a helicopter ride in at that price point.
