If someone gives you $1 Million in cash then will you take it? Remember one thing that you will not be able to know why that person is giving this money to you. Will you take money, no questions asked? What if that person's intentions are not good? What if you get into trouble for taking that money? Will you still risk everything for the money?

Oh my... That $1 Million is really tempting. It is really hard to decide. maybe if I were still single I would accept it. But since I am already a family woman now, though maybe earning money is really hard, I would not accept it. Remember in this world no one will ever give you that big amount without asking anything in return. I would never risk the safety and the security of my family for that. Anyway as long as I have my family, though how hard life is, we will always be happy together... I am already content of what I have now and no any amount of money can exchange that.

Yes you are right. Its good to be on the safe side and not risk everything for money, even though it might be a great amount of it. Money that you earn, even if its less than this, is far better only because it wouldn't put your life and your family's life in any danger.

The first thing that entered my mind when i read your discussion was, what's the catch? there must be a catch, if you're just giving it away and not asking for anything back.. I don't know if I would take it.. maybe I would, then I would use it immediately.. hahahaha. Oh and maybe it will also depend on the person that's giving the money. I mean, how he looks, does he/she looks suspicious, or nervous, or seems like he's hiding something. hehehehe.

There is always a catch my friend and considering the amount of money that we are talking about in here, there has to be a catch. Good thing that you had realized it.

Money makes many things but of course we need not be soo greedy for sake of money . For i remember one scripture from Holy Bible Life is more than food,and the body more than clothes. -Luke 12:23 So why money????? why not God????? Think is money everything when you dont have happiness . So Being with God makes us feel so comfortable.So I say I wont take that $1 Million

with one million fat cash in your hands, nobody can have bad intentions, all the power comes in your hands and people tend to move the direction you give them . are you going to give me that one million?

If I had that much of money maybe I could have given you the money. But now I don't have that much.

I'll take $1000 if someone gave it to me now. Jokes apart, I don't thik anyone os going to give anyone that kind of money unless ofcourse he expects to get back 10 times that within a fortnight. Wishful thinking, but as long as he is not a terrorist, I think I can handle that.

Truly speaking even I would take $1000 if someone gave me that much and the reason for that is I am in debt. I really need a good deal of money and pretty soon. I also need them for college funds. But I wouldn't risk everything and get greedy.

For me in that situation if I can see the after effect of taking that money I'd rather not getting that money. Because I'm happy spending my money at my own even if it's a little as long as there's no bad conscience.

You might need a time machine then . Recently I started a discussion about what you would do with a time machine and I think you have a good answer to that question.

If I was really that rich then I would really give that amount to anyone who needed it. I am a very generous person. I support many charity in my state and try to make people's life a little better.

Nothing is impossible to prove these days. If you have a little bit of money then you can prove that someone committed a crime even though that person was not present at the crime scene.

Welcome to mylot. So you take pride in earning money yourself. I really like that thought and even I am like that.
14 Oct 09
no i wont take that money, even if the persons intention is good, no money without a little amount of work, will not allow us feel freee mentally

My answer is No thank you. Atleast if i will refuse to take the money, i have a worry free life. I don't want that my life will be at risk and my family too. I'm happy to stay poor than having a 1 million with all the threats and worries. Happy myloting.

Good choice. It good to be poor and not have any worry rather than taking $1 million and 1 million worries with it. Happy mylotting.

when someone gives money, there must be some intention behind giving it. no one gives it to another without any intention behind it. also the one who receives it should decide whether he will receive it or not. we see almost everyday, a couple of mails of this type arrive offering a share of hidden money that came to their possession. never ever respond to such offers. most of them are from criminals.

Thanks for responding. These things really does happen. Sometimes people face such scenarios and they often make the wrong decision and pay for it later in their lives if they are alive to see it.

One million is a very big amount. I think I will take it and try my best not to be in trouble because of the money. I will make plans so that I won't be in trouble due to recieving the money. I will ask the reason for giving me the money. I will accept the money even if I find that the reason is not convincing enough for me to take the money.

I made myself clear that if you accept the money then you can't ask any questions. Now what do you think?

That will depend on the person who is willing to give it to me. If this person is a relative, I will take the money without question. After all, it's common for relatives to help those in the family. If this person is a stranger or a not-so-close friend, then I wont take the money. I think another factor is how the money comes to me. I dont mind to have the money as a Chinese New Year's ang bao, since that is the time that relatives give money out.

I will. I do not think people will go around giving money for free. They are not out of their mind. So, if they should be giving you free money;it could be a gimmick or if it is real, it could be for the time being and you may have to give it to your favorite charity. i do not believe it is " bad" money from an ill-intentioned person.

Its in human nature now, to think that people can never do anything good to you with out anything in return. What charity will you donate the money to?

My friend people sometimes get offers not for $1 million but more than that and they often accept it with out considering the possible dangers that might come along with it. There are also people who are willing to be poor and live a worry free life rather than taking $1 million and have tensed moments.
