This is the thing.

For the next twenty-four hours you will have one million dollars (or whatever currency/equivalent).

Thing is, this money will magically disappear at the end of the 24 hours, no matter what you do. Items you buy, like cars, houses, etc, will disappear like you never had them. There is no way to save this money from 'going poof'. Think of it as getting a 'day that never happened'. At the end of the 24 hours, you will be the exact same as you are now.

There is a bit of a catch.

No one will remember what you did this day, save you and one other person. This person will know you, but you will not know who the person that will remember is until the 24 hours are over. Neither do they. It could be someone you've known you're whole life, or someone you just met that day.

What would you do for that day?

I'd probably buy things I've always wanted but could never have either due to finances, room or just it flat out being impossible, just to enjoy the feeling of owning them. I'd buy stuff like an Audi, 3D TV and an air hockey table. They'll dissapear anyway so I'll enjoy those fine 24 hours staring at my beautiful Audi.

I'm pretty sure the money would be gone by the end of the day regardless of the catch. ;)

I'd probably end up buying a new car, a few small things (like magic cards or something), maybe some new skis, and definitely a lot of gas station gift cards so I can not pay for gas for a while.

I think you missed the point where the items disappear as well.

I'd buy a lot of food and give it to homeless men so they can pig out for one full day.

I'd do that too, but deliver the food at 11:59PM and watch in amusement as the food disappears from their very hands as they are eating it!

Honest answer? Given the stipulations, find random attractive women, offer them money for a "physical adventure" we'll say. The memories will last forever. No benefit to doing anything else with it.
I mean I've seen videos where they do this. Maybe the average price isn't the couple hundred the videos show but what would you do for $10,000? $50,000? $100,000? Yeah it's happening and it's going to be amazing.

Maaaaaaaybe... :P

Okay, new answer! Go fly out to a really big amusement park and buy that pass that lets you skip the lines and go ride everything! No longer will I have to suffer with the fact that I haven't been on any mega-coasters. My dream will be complete!

D: Such a tough question. If everything, money and all the materials I bought with that money were to disappear in 24 hours, I would probably use it to send my parents to Vietnam even for a day and travel somewhere.

Hmm... I would treat all my family/friends to the various thing they have always wished for in their lives... I will always be able to keep the memory that for one single day, I was able to make everyone in my life that I cherish, happy. I would also buy an expensive car and enter it into a demo derby... because... why not?

I would disburse the money amongst my family members evenly, and then donate about a tenth of it to charity and the rest for personal use. I'm not that greedy when it comes to money, unless it comes to buying food.

Gamble. If I win, I get to keep my stake. If not, oh well. It was going to go away anyways.
Not sure how that would work with the stipulation. It might work, maybe not.

If there was no way I was going to be able to keep the money or anything I bought from it, and no one was going to remember what happened (save for one person), I think I'd take advantage of the opportunity rather than the money itself. I'd probably do stupid things like throw thousands of dollars into crowded areas and watch people scramble for it just for my amusement, or go somewhere like a convenience store, slap down $50,000 on the counter, and ask for one of everything. I mean, giving money to charities, homeless people, etc. would be a fantastic gesture, but if it isn't going to matter in the slightest, might as well screw around while I have the chance!
