What I Would Do If I Won a Million Dollars
What would I do if I won a million dollars? For example, from the lottery maybe? Yes, the chances of winning are just as likely as being abducted by aliens but if I did, I this were to happen, what would I do with the cash? Winning the lottery is a favorite daydream for a lot of us. If I had a million dollars, I'm guessing I would definitely want more. I would probably try to discover a way to double the million, probably put it up in a bank somewhere for a few years and let it collect some interest. If not all at least some, maybe half, would go to the bank. It seems that no matter how much money people tend to have, it's never quite enough. Lots of hands would begin to appear in though this for sure. You turn into a millionaire and all of a sudden dues are owed and old friends you haven’t talk to in years will pop up wanting to be best of friends. It’s funny how people react when one gets ahold of a little cash. I gotta admit though, having a million dollars would be a lot of fun. With my bad money managing skills it probably last a few days. I'd most likely give at least a a few thousands of it to my grandparent’s church and some to a kids charity. And I’d probably give a little to help the folks I knew in need. But of course this would all happen after I have made sure my family is all set. In my family there aren’t just 3 or 4 of us, there’s MANY. I'd get a few houses in the tropical islands, a couple of new computers, laptops, with walk-in closets in each room. A year long vacation with my whole family somewhere exotic would be nice, too. After my family is all taken care of id divide the remaining money into separate accounts, one for each of my younger siblings. This money would go the each of them to use on college or whatever they decide when their 18 (better be college!) and I’m sure a few thousand or so on educational benefits for me. If I were older, though, I would certainly need to spend it on my family, on cars and

    I have two families in two different households so I would start by purchasing them both a new house or paying off the house they live in. This I would ask them and have them decide based on what they would want. I have so many siblings ranging in so many ages, I think the best I could do for them is take them on a toy shopping spree. I think they would have the best time and that may be the one day we all get along. I would also love to help my friends with the college tuition. Not all my friends would be fortunate to go because of cost so if that's all I could do for them they would be thrilled. I know my friends and family would not expect much from me, if anything at all, but honestly considering all they have done for me and the amount they have been there for me, I couldn't find a better way to repay…

    I can tell you first hand, I would rather get lucky but the reality of it, is a million dollars will not be handed to me. You have to be willing to go out there and do the work. I have to be self motivated and have faith that my hard work will pay off. I am often viewed as greedy because I do not waste a lot of money, but i save up that money and invest it into my companies. Within my family nobody has reached the million dollars and whenever i talk to my family about the millionaires i follow all they respond with is “They are lucky”. “Lucky” to have 300,000 dollar cars, “Lucky” to have a 800,00 dollar house, but were they “Lucky” when they were homeless?. I myself do a lot of research on people the people who I follow and read their stories. I know most of the things they have gone through to get to a millionaire statues. Most have gone from rags to riches. I have learned that I have to be willing to burn my bridges and learn from mistakes. I have been around millionaires and they are not like most of the people you encounter everyday. Great manners along with advanced vocabulary are just the first things you will notice. They do not like to sit around, constantly on their phone. When we think of people on their phone we mostly imagine people liking other peoples post or just scrolling but millionaires are…

    Winning the lottery is something everyone wants. Rarely do people realize that there are also bad effects to having such a large sum of money. A good amount of people that win the lottery are foolish with their money, quit their jobs, or just don’t know what to do with it. The others that win make smart decisions in either investing their fortune, donating it to a good cause, or just helping their family be finically stable.…

    First, I would take $250,000 and put it in the bank. If it is in the bank for a while, it will draw around four to five thousand dollars in interest a year. So after about ten years, it will grow to around $300,000. That way, I will never have to worry about not having money or struggling from paycheck to paycheck. (72)…

    If I won a million dollars the first thing I’d do was put enough away for my education. Education is important because a million dollars is bound to run out. I’d also give my parents the majority of it because of all they have done for me. I believe I’d also try investing in stocks. It seems like a good idea to gain more money, but you have to choose the right business to invest in.…
