What would you do if you became an instant multi-millionaire?

It would be we for it would all go to family some much to this one so much to that one .Fix house to a two story.Also pay it off put a trustfund for granddaughter . Also want to buy a mountain and build a house inside it and have big bay windows to look over Las Veags at night. Then start to travel go back to some places son in law hasnt seen and more that we havent been too also buy houses for all the family here so they could spend time here too. and our main charities is St Jude and make a wish

I have never understood that what if you had a millio dollar game. If I had 10,000 I would be confused.

I would like to buy are rather large property and build a nice house on it, I would like it to be not too far from town but far enough so I didn't have to worry about noise and neighbours because on that property I would like to build a nice little theatre type thing so I could set up a country music venue where I could put on a weekly or monthly concert where the artists get paid well and the audiences get in for a very reasonable price, sell the best in food and promote the music I love...

Travelling around the world

I'd probably do much the same as you. Causes I'd support: I'd match my church's treasury, paying off the mortgage on our new church building. And I'd match contributions dollar for dollar to build on the addition we want for our growing congregation. I don't think it would be good to give it outright the whole amount. The people need to invest in their church to make it truly a part of them. Then I'd pay off my own mortgage and do some of the home improvements we've put off because of the expense. And I'd get a vehicle that has great fuel mileage, maybe a hybrid, and has room for an electric mobility scooter. I'd buy the scooter I've been wanting for several years now, giving me more freedom to go when and where I want. [Medicare won't pay for either the scooter or the adapted vehicle since I'm able to walk well enough to get around at home.] Once I had all that makes it easy to travel, I'd go the places I want to see. I'd donate money or needed items to the Native American reservations that we'd visit. Many of the poorest people in America are American Indians on the reservations in S. Dakota. I'd set up a monthly delivery of needed non-perishable groceries to families through The Box Project, including the family I now support so minimally. And I'd provide scholarships for the children of those families who achieve in high school. I'd finance at least one house for Habitat for Humanity. I'd finance more than one if they would build it on the reservations. I'd donate to World Ark. I've always wanted to be able to donate at the highest level, an entire ark of livestock to an area that needed it. I'd finish paying off my granddaughter's school loans. She's struggled to do it on her own, so I don't feel like I'd be enabling her to be dependent. I'd take my whole family on a cruise. That would be so much fun. We don't get together much as we live hundreds of miles apart. With lots of money, though, I'd be able to visit them more often by taking planes. The long drives really wear me out and I'm not enjoying the visit much because I'm so fatigued. If we flew to and from it would be much easier. I'd hire professionals to help our local American Indian Center repair its finances and develop cash flow to restore its programming. Once on its feet it needs to become self-suffecient, less dependant on grants that are so time-limited. Surely there is a way for them to earn enough to keep the organization functioning at a reasonable level. And I've always wanted to develop a retreat center for single mothers of small children where they can get pampered and educated on financial and self-care issues while knowing that their children are nearby and well cared for. Maybe I'd hire you to do your workshops there! The rates would be on a sliding scale with scholarships for the very low-income families. I'm sure that on my travels I would come across other causes that I'd want to support. My preference is to support programs that enable people to take care of themselves. I don't believe in throwing money at people and then leaving them as dependent and helpless as before.

Well---hehe..I think since you know me fairly well, I plan to become a multi-millionaire!! First, I think I would need some serious consideration about investing a lot of my money...CDs, money markets, KEOGH plans...I would move out of the apartment I've lived in since I was five and a half years old...definitely need a change there!! I would try to find a location of my dreams to live in..perhaps a New England state..seem to be drawn to there...I would try to find a home that also matches my "vision" of a dream home (I've actually drawn out blueprints of my dream home)--sought of the log cabin type, but with cathedral high ceilings...the master bedroom would take up the entire end section of the second floor, and have floor to ceiling windows galore, one facing the east the other west....uh, I could go on and on about my dream home..been giving it a lot of careful thought these past few years! I would like it smack dab in a forested area...surrounded by a lot of trees...hehe Also wouldn't mind a home somewhere in the British Isles..next to the cabin type architecture have always loved Tudor style--maybe for my vacation home?? I would get a practical vehicle for driving around with my photo gear, but I'll also take a nice luxury car like a Jaguar..thank you...LOL...And having a lot of money would definitely give me an incentive to really travel a lot and make up for all those years I haven't (you know what I mean) I would love to donate money too, to worthy causes...sort of deep in my heart for some reason is the foundation Mother Teresa founded "Missionaries of Charity"--I'm not Catholic, but I loved her humanity. If anyone could use the money they could--I've been a fan of the Jacques Cousteau Society and Greenpeace, and Defenders of Wildlife, The Wilderness Society...so would like to donate to them as well... Mmmmm....now...the trick...to become that millionaire!! LOL

This is a fantastic question!!! If I became an instant multi-millionaire I would invest a chunk of the money to ensure a rich future, I'd give a chunk to family and friends, I'd buy the things i've always wanted, put some in my checking account, and give a great deal to those less fortunate than I am.

In my case, it would be used to get my family and I back to living a fairly normal life. We have just lost everything and are beginning to piece our lives back together. Along the way we would attend church and thank the prayer warriors that have gotten us this far. We would contribute to the agencies that helped us in the first weeks after that disaster. Our bills would be paid and a new home would be planned that this time I would hope to live in til the day I die. Would invest some to be able to live off the interest biweekly. Then I would be growing food for the food banks and others that help the neediest in our society. A grand plan. Wish us luck.

First thing I'll do is pay all my debuts. Invest in a house that my kids and young sister can call home.The second thing is open a savings account for kids. Purchase savings bond for my nieces and nephews(put it in a save deposit box and they can't touch until they're 18 &/or graduted from high school. They have to graduate from high school or it just roll over and then they can do what they want with by the time their 25. This same rule goes for my kids also) Third thing is to make sure my family maining my brothers and older sister is taking care of and I can't forget my grandmother. Put them in a house of their own. Fourth thing is invest in stocks, bond, CD accounts, & real estate. I'll also go on a family vacation to Walt Disney World for about 1 week. And once I've taken care of everyone I'M GOING ON A LONG VACATION WITH JUST MYSELF. NO KIDS,HUBBY(BOYFRIEND,LOVER whatever you want to call your him) LOL ITS GOING TO BE JUST ME SOME ME TIME NOT SOME HIM SOME YOU SOME THEM BUT ME. LOL A GIRL CAN DREAM CAN'T SHE But honestly that is actually what I'll do after I realize that I am a multi-millionaire.

I would buy a mansion for my family and a car and then i'd send my mother for a vacation in the states or wherever she likes. i'd let my sister and her children live with us but I won't let them get spoiled, i'll stil give them their usual allowance and I won't let the maid do the household chores for them. I don't like spoiled and lazy brats. ^__^ and then i'll go to japan and treat myself with learning their culture and experience living there. and then i'll buy a lot of anime stuffs. LOL and then, i'll build a foundation for homeless people esp for children and the oldies. i'll send these children to schools and achieve their dreams. and then i'll also establish a non-profit organization dedicated in preserving the natural resources. ^__^ I hve so many things I wanna do that requires a huge amount of money, I can't wish to win the lottery since I don't buy tickets. LOL so I guess i'll just continue to dream. ^__^

My hubby and I would probably find a nice piece of property to build our dream house, get a car or two, travel for awhile and then give some to the causes that are close to us (diabetes and cancer research) not necessarily in that order..and the rest of it would be used however.... :)

This is a serious question and needs a lot of careful consideration. We often hear of people who have won massive amounts of money and it ruined their lives. It seems like it should be simple. All of a sudden I have more money than I know what to do with. And that would be the problem. Our house is already paid off, and we like it. So we wouldn't be moving to a huge mansion. Our two vehicles are Jeeps, so we wouldn't need to buy a Jeep. lol. Our son is through college. We don't have many short term needs. I would want to make sure my mother-in-law was all right financially. She is doing well on her own, but I'm sure a little extra financial security wouldn't hurt. We would probably add to the college accounts we have started for our two grandsons. It is a surprise for their high school graduations. And I would ask my son if he would like his house paid off. I'm guessing he would say yes. I would also set aside enough so I wouldn't be wondering if I need the "long term care insurance" people keep trying to sell me. And my wife and I could do some traveling we have been putting off. Beyond that, it would be exciting looking for ways to help people who are in need. I would want to find legitimate ways to benefit the people rather than benefiting those who administer the funds. There are always fund raisers going on in our community for people who have lost a house in a fire, or a husband is killed in an accident and the wife is left to raise their children alone. It would be fun to leave a $100 tip now and then for a server in a restaurant as a surprise. And when I read in the church bulletin that the summer slump is causing some financial hardship for the church, it would be fun to leave an anonymous gift to cover the deficit. I think it would be difficult doing it right. However, I think I am up to the challenge. Just give me the chance! lol.

Oh that would be mind blowing for me if I suddenly became a millionaire, I wouldn't know what to do, all I know is I would buy a house, car, everything my children need and want, I would love to set up my own music studio, pay all my debts an build on our family lands here in Aotearoa, New Zealand. I would put trust funds away for my children where they would be finanacially look after and would be able to always have a home they could call their own. I am dependant on part time work and income from other sources and with the large rise in produce and products its real financial burdon, so yeh it would be good, it help alot..

There's so many things I'd do with that kind of money. First, I guess I would buy a house on a lot of property, probably build a swimming pool and most likely buy a nice car. I'd donate some to charity, give some to my family, and travel the world.

I think at this moment in time I would be very materialistic! I would buy myself an old VW Beetle and do it up, so that I would actually have something to drive! I would pay off all of my student debt, along with my two best friend's debt as well, they deserve it! I would give my mum a heap of money to do with what she pleased, and also take her on a shopping trip somewhere spectacular. I'd do the same for my brother [-: I'd buy a bunch of properties all over the world, and rent them out or keep them for my own use. I think the last thing I would do for myself would be to go travelling with my friends, and see a bit more of the world. After I had done all that I would donate a lot of money and time to medical and neuroscience charities, along with mental health organisations.
