is my title a pun? who knows :^)

er, i am pretty sure a thread was made like this a while ago, i can't remember..my memory is terrible these days. so! the million dollar question.

if you were given a million dollars (don't question where it came from, just..ya got a million dollars ok), what would you do with it? why?

for me, i would either: A) Go on a road trip with my best friend/wife, or B) Go to London and sight see. Or..just a lot of Britain/England and sight see and whatnot.

what would you do? :3

Pay off all my current debt, buy a house to rent out, and sock the rest of it away in normal savings & checking accounts (for quick access in a pinch), investments, high interest savings accounts, and retirement funds. And then maybe evaluate starting my own business.

Probably after paying off debt, I might give some to family in Jamaica, because they're supposedly not doing well. x_x I would also maybe move into a better house, get a car, and save the rest for a rainy day, when the time comes? That means video games, most likely. >> Hah.

Pay off my credit card, buy a better car, move to a different city, and whatever is left would go into savings, such as it is.

Pay off debt, buy a house, use some for charitable causes and then find a way to make the leftovers multiply.

I would buy an amazing house and car, then a Macbook, smart TV etc and just save the rest for my adult life when I actually need a significant amount of money.

probably start off by buying all the albums i miss from my fav artists, them move on to paying for singing lessons for myself, then give some money to my parents to buy whatever they wanted or needed. then probably save the rest to go travelling in the future or smth.

Ok where do yall live if you can buy a decent house for under a million dollars and still have a substantial amount of money left over lol
Unless it's like a really tiny studio, you can't even get a nice apartment here for that kind of money, especially if it's in a desirable location like Downtown or near my uni

That said, I would still try to buy an average apartment in a decent location and just rent it out, because rent is equally ridiculous and the price of the apartment will likely continue to rise, so it would be a good investment. Although they say 2017 is the year the housing market will finally crash, buut they say that all the time and it never happens, so I don't know.

  1. Move out to a new property with good transport / standard of living
  2. Have Fibre internet in said property i.e. Hyperoptic 1GBps
  3. Save a portion in savings / invest a bit in shares
  4. Obligatory 'send fund to parents'

A modest or even a middle upper-class family home probably won't run more than $230K in my area. Depending on where you live and where you look, it's not terribly difficult to find an affordable house unless you live in a super upper-class luxury neighborhood or something lol.
>:o I should just take my million dollars and move out of Vancouver then, our housing market is psyducking insane

LMAO It's funny because I actually want to move to Canada and until you said this I never realized how much houses there actually cost. :x
To be fair, I think it's my city/area in particular that's especially insane, other parts of Canada are probably more reasonable :P

Can I get 1 million € instead?

What would I do with that money?
- give some money to people on Patreon and other platforms to support their content creation
- donate some money on one of the GDQs
- get a new PC, because my old ones really show their age and I need that for my work
- dunno, maybe get wifi
