If you won a million dollars would your lifestyle and friends change

hartfire Best Comment

No. A million doesn't stretch that far these days.
10% divided between our 5 fave charities.
50% into a health fund for old age because we have none now and badly need it.
40% repairs to house and driveway - also badly needed.
Thankfully, our friends have managed their lives better than we have.

Only one million? Not a chance.

shakemeup · 36-40

No, I'd use it to buy a house/land

Penny · 46-50, F

no . a million dollars isnt really enough for that anymore anyway. maybe id buy a modest new house though. and save the rest for taxes and stuff.

dancingtongue · 80-89, M

Not much. Most would be donated.

Iwillwait · M

No. That would leave you just over $600K I would invest that for retirement.

MrBlueGuy

I'd barely be able to afford a house where I live so no, probably not

Umile · 41-45, F

Smh.

Naah.

But, My friends and family gonna be real happy though.

Ask me that if it were 1980? Yes! 2024? Nope!

Soossie

Why should they … they already are millionaires .. 🤣

taneegoan · 31-35, F

lifestyle must be change but not must be friends

Nitedoc · 51-55, M

No, but it would be nice to win anyway.

Secretsmile · 51-55, F

I would buy a medium size houses , a small car and a lot of land. The rest I will bank. My friend won a million dollar lottery and soon after his wife got sick with cancer. The big payments started and I doubt he has any money now🥺. I don’t buy lottery tickets.

mindstruggle · 31-35, F

I don't think so.

BridgeOvertroubledWaters · 61-69, M

First of it wouldn't be a million bcoz income tax would take it's bite.

No , I wouldn't change my life style. I'd tithe , help the kids, save some, fix a few things and upgrade a few things in the house.
I doubt I would move house.

Frostcloud · F

idk about my lifestyle but i would have an opportunity to surround myself with more like minded people and maybe by this i can make new friends

Gingerbreadspice · F

Lifestyle might as I’d buy a house and change of environment can change your lifestyle. Friends no but I’m sure I might get more friends.

Ferric67 · M

Nope

Yet again, a million dollars doesn't seem like a life altering amount of money either

CrazyMusicLover · 31-35

@Ferric67 Believe me, in some parts of the world it is.

pripyatamusementpark

Nah ..I'd still be the same introvert who avoids people

Ferric67 · M

@pripyatamusementpark good morning ✌

pripyatamusementpark

@Ferric67 good morning 🙏

I think you'd be disappointed with the end result once the Vultures had taxed you on it.

Dignaga

@Picklebobble2 I was a tax free tip from being a waiter.

GuyWithOpinions · 31-35, M

Yes. With that kind of money i would be stable enough to put attention towards having friends.

Colonelmustardseed · 36-40

No. That wouldn’t even last long. I’d pay off family members’ worst debts.

CrazyMusicLover · 31-35

How much is that after tax?

CarlDee · 56-60, M

@CrazyMusicLover let's say it's a million after taxes

CrazyMusicLover · 31-35

@CarlDee Hmm, I don't think anything would immediately change apart from setting up a new bank account to put the money in. Then I'd start planning where to move to so I could buy a property there without a mortgage and start my life anew.
