Just for fun

Just for fun and to have something nice to think about...

I was wondering what you would do if you won $1,000,000?

What about $10,000,000?

I know for me 1 vs 10 million would be much different.

I think it would be fun to hear what you have to say.
Dream a little.

valinors_sorrow agrees: Actually, at the risk of sounding whacked, one million is not a lot of money these days when you break it down to usable imcome after taxes, etc.

Just to comment on what Val said on my original post...

In Canada we don't pay tax on lottery winnings.
I agree that a million is not very much, but I didn't want to be the only one to point that out. Hehehe. I would still love to have it!!

I would take 1/2 to 3/4 of it and invest it so that it would provide retirement income for me. The balance I would use to pay off my debts and fix up the house. I MIl doesn't go that far.


Gee, I would settle for 1 mill. It's better than nothing.

1 Mill I would pay off my mortgage and any other small debts that I may have and enjoy what eva was left over.

10 Mill - I would do all of the above still, but as its a little more cash, probley invest some of it and try and make a few more bucks on investments. I would also give a chunk of it away to local charities that work hard in my local community.

Okay aqua, here's one. You're on Who Wants to be a Millionaire, and you are on the million dollar question. You have no mare lifelines. If you guess right, you leave with 1 mill. If you miss, you leave with 32,000. If you walk away, you have a big check for a half a million. What do you do?

OOOoooo....

That is a good question!

Personally, I would take the check for $500,000 and run (fast). It's a half million more than I have now and I could sure do a lot with it.

You? Anyone else?

When I asked this question, I never thought I would answer it. You do have a 1/4 chance of winning it all. But then you have a 3/4 chance of losing. I too would walk away.... unless I knew the answer of course!
