If I Won a Million Dollars

January 12, 2012

According to Dictionary.com wealth is described as a great quantity or store of money, valuable possessions, property, or other riches. People spend their entire life seeking wealth. Some tend to be successful, and others fail miserably. I am usually a very unlucky person, but miracles happen every day in the beautiful word we live in. So what would I do if my luck decided to change and I happen to win a million dollars? The idea is tough to grasp, but if I won a million dollars I would spend the money on myself, my mother, and the game of baseball for the youth within my community. To begin, if I won a million dollars I would enrich my own lifestyle. I would start by buying a beautiful sports car. A Porsche 911 looks like the perfect fit for me. The Porsche 911 has over 4oo horse power with a luxurious body kit. This amazing car can reach speeds over 200 miles per hour, and I think it’s the perfect toy to fulfill my wildest fantasies. Also if i had a million dollars i would not have to worry about gas, insurance rates, or even speeding tickets. Therefore I could ramble around town with no fear. I would push the massive engine of the Porsche to extreme limits without any regards for my own safety or the law. Another essential item I would buy to enhance my lifestyle would be a an extravagant home for my future family. The perfect location for my dream home would have to be somewhere in the foot hills of the great northwest. That is where I spent a lot of my childhood. I have always wanted to go back and start a new life. My dream house would be nothing but extravagant. I would love to build a log cabin around 4500 square foot. The cabin would sit on top of a hill overlooking one of the major cites of the northwest. whether the home is located in Portland or Seattle, the interior would be pretty spectacular. Hardwood floors through out the entire house are crucial, so i can practice my Michael Jackson moon

    In life, people have a tendency to ruin a good thing while it’s going. People become overwhelmed with the joy and fulfillment and begin to react irresponsible. For instance, a great thing such as winning can result into something horrible. Winning the lottery not only can bring happiness into someone’s life, but as well cause their life to be a complete nightmare. When a person goes from being considerably poor to having millions of dollars, it impacts their lives to a great extent by causing them to become unreasonable with their winnings, quit their jobs, or just lose touch with reality. Truth is winning unthinkable amounts of money causes unimaginable stress on lives of people not accustomed to it resulting in a positive event turning into negative repercussions such as family issues, depression, or even the lost of someone’s life.…

    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.…

    “[...] Rising from rags to riches, of amassing a great fortune that will assure a life of luxuriant ease, power, and beauty in an ideal world untroubled by care and devoted to the enjoyment of everlasting pleasure and nothing to intervene between wish and fulfillment. It is a naive dream based on the fallacious assumption that material possessions are synonymous with happiness, harmony, and beauty.” (Roberts 73, 2006)…

    Of course, if I had a million dollars, I would spend a lot of it on myself, hopefully not too selfishly, but first of all, half of what was left would be safely stored at a bank in Swiss for future use. After the money was stored, what I spent with the rest of it would be history. Perhaps I'd get a few houses in the tropical islands, a couple of new computers, laptops, and walk-in closets in each, advanced payment for the CDs I wished to own. I'd also to invest in a six-year trip around the world with a year for each continent and three more months in Antarctica, and loads of material things would satisfy me, but who knows what I'll have come up with by then. After I'd gotten what I wanted for the time being, I would give some of the remaining money to my family and relatives for them to split among themselves, and perhaps some of it on educational benefits for me. If I were older, though, I would certainly need to spend it on my family, on cars and…

    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.…

    Wealth, as we all know, has no absolute power to procure happiness. As soon as wealth is in our grasp, we are tempted to use it for all kinds of bad purposes. Therefore, if I was a millionaire, I would never touch drink, gamble, or go in for any evil pursuit. I would rather go in for the promotion of the welfare and happiness of mankind. This is a laudable ambition and it would be the ideal of my happiness. As a truly philanthropic person, I would always try to make my fellowmen happier.…
