I wouldn't change a thing. I'd still work, because I love it. Off hours I'd spend my time like I do now, reading about computer stuff.

A million $ really isn't a lot of cash. That and a few extra hundred thousand $ could get me an average sized fixer-upper house in Saratoga, CA...

I tell you what I'd do . . . I'd do nothing. I'd sit on my ass all day and do nothing at all. ;)

Actually, I'd probably lease an island in the Caribbean with part of the money, buy a boat, and start a charter fishing business. Be like Quint, in Jaws. :p

With $1,000,000, I'd put it in the bank and live comfortably off the interest. Think about it, $1,000,000 with say... 5% interest: that's $50,000. I'd probably get some sort of job just so I could indulge. But I think one person could definitely get by on $50,000

good luck finding a bank that will give you more than 3% interest.... and don't forget, any interest you earn is taxed.

I'd pay off my college loans, give a good chunk of it to my parents, invest the rest, and spend the next 20 years being a lifer not having to worry about money :)

I would spend more time bicycle riding. Learn a little more about computers and programing. Spend some time making and mixing music. Everything else would stay about the same.

You don't need a million dollars to do nothing man. Take a look at my cousin. He's broke, don't do sh!t.


Myself, if it was $1 million AFTER taxes, I would buy about a $300,000 house, pay my bills (about $4000 worth) a new truck (nothing crazy, Dodge Ram probably), put about $200,000 in my racing operation, and then invest the rest.

Unfortunetly true, I'm from Saratoga, CA (well I'm away at college now). Good thing my parents bought the house new like 13 yrs ago for $500K.

#1 Have my mom retire from teaching art so she could spend her time painting, which is her first love.
#2 Pay off my parents house for them
#3 Pay for my sister's college
#4 Pay for my college
#5 New car
#6 Killer computer (of course)

That would just about take care of it I think. If there were anything left, I'd save it.

I've been with two chicks at once.
I've dated a runway model.
I would not change my life any for a million.
I would still go to medical school and open a clinic in the inner city.

I'd pay my parents for college up to this point and then pay for the rest myself. After that I'd probably by a car (nothing extravagent, Camry or something) and build a sweet computer. Then I'd invest the ~$900,000 that I had left and watch the money flow in.

I wouldn't invest in a bank... I'd buy land in my area. A LOT OF IT. Suburbs of Philly are becoming more and more populated, I bet it would pay off tenfold in a few years.

Greed... probably sin #2 next to lust. :p

Why in gods name do you think you need a million bucks for that? As the saying goes, some of the BEST things in life are free :)
