I would travel to places Ive been dreaming of...then settle in a nice comfortable house not on the beach but in a quiet and safe community.Then,I would put up a business to make it grow again because I might have spent half of it already after all those trips...lol!!

If it is a ridiculously large amount of money, then I would buy a large parcel of land, build a house (not a mansion) complete with a heated swimming pool, make a playground, plant an orchard, and buy a big car. I will send local kids to school. Then keep the money for future use.

As I strongly believe in the adage 'expenditure rises to meet income' I will create situations that demand a lot of expenditure for which I will not work hard. I am innovative and like to live in style. No problem at all!

If I had a ridiculous amount of money, I would first find a reputable and stable bank where I can deposit the money for safekeeping. After that, I will donate about 10% of the money to different organizations of my advocacy such as Greenpeace, the Philippine Animal Welfare Society (PAWS), UNICEF, and PETA. I will also buy a new beautiful mansion wherein my family can live in and use the money to start a real estate business which could financially take care of my parents in the long-run. For myself, I'd go an a European tour because that has always been my dream.

i thought of going out and partying, giving out to charity, going on a cruise, buying out some of the most beautiful landscapes... but then i realised i could not go on doing this forever no matter what this ridiculous amount is....
i would surely njoy my life with this money... but what i would also do is build up a system which would keep the cashflow coming in.... and then i can party forever....

Beach house would be great! I am done with the parties so i would be donating most likely to reliable charities and save for my descendant's future. Make the money grow would be good too so putting up a business or investing would be on my list too. =)

if i had a ridiculous amount in my kitty i would save half of in in the bank.the rest i would evenly divide between family,cars ,bikes and charity.i would buy a new bike (1600cc hayabusa) and a Audi m5 :) ..these are ridiculously expensive.i would not consider buying a house cause i think its over spending.i am satisfied with my own house.but the car and the bike would be really good.parties will come and go.so no way i will spend money on that field.and my saving will get doubled in 6 years and then i will be more richer $$...
coming back to reality
my head hurts!!!
