wow. 1 million and you'd buy a condo? That better be one nice condo! Me, I'd pay for my college education! Jk, but honestly, if I didn't have a part time job or something, I'd go nuts. I 'd like to have something to do... .but I wouldn't work full time.
I'd definetely be near a coast.... and I'd own a car which cost more than $1000, but nothing fancy...

Re: If you suddenly got a million dollars - what would you buy?
well i live in so-cal so i wont be buying two homes thats for sure...if im lucky i can find a decent one way out in the desert area for under 650k and then make the hour and a half commute ( funny thing is thats only about 25 min longer than i do now).
but anyway i would for sure spend it all. id go crazy if i didnt work so i would buy all the toys on my wish list to make the life i already have a bit more fun then get a job that i enjoy the actual work more than i do the pay. a million dollars just aint what it used to be though

Re: If you suddenly got a million dollars - what would you buy?
I said I would put it in a bank and let it gain interest....BUT, I would first buy a house big enough for my two children and I. Nothing fancy....just comfortable. Then, the rest I would put in the Bank for college expenses and such. The kids always come first. After college is paid off...Party Time for daddy, baby!!

I'd go fly and live in England, so when Bush really starts to screw us over, I can't be blamed for it.

Re: If you suddenly got a million dollars - what would you buy?
I'm still in college, so I'd split it up. I'd invest a significant sum into a few profitable stocks & bonds that are out there, maybe some real estate too. Another sum would sit in the bank & collect interest. & I'd used the rest to pay my college education & setting up for life in the real world (house, car, marriage (if it comes to that)).
The first thing I'd do though is get a new phone number. Once family & friends catch wind of your newfound wealth, you know.

I would have to pay off all my debts first, then buy a bigger house, then open up my own photo and video studio.

Re: If you suddenly got a million dollars - what would you buy?
I'd buy a bunch of stocks and re-invest the dividends. Then I could buy a car or three, a house or two AND retire really early. It would not be an "either/or" proposition!

Re: If you suddenly got a million dollars - what would you buy?
I chose other.
For me personally money is defintely not the most important thing in life! But if I got so much money I think I would start a program which would increase the education in schools. Education is one of the most important things in life and all the choices we and everyone else makes every day effects what happens, positive and negative things in life.
Many things costs and I believe strongly that if more people would be educated in how things works and in the possibilities of change by just being aware that there are alternative ways of doing things.
So better education in schools is where I would like to spend a big sum of that money. I think that I would keep 80% of all the money for myself and for these money I would buy a house which is located very near nature. I'm a nature person and I like to go big walks in the forest.
