Buy an island and go live on it with a cat and a dog and some animals for milk, eggs etc.

I would learn to drive a tractor and other machinery to tend my land and get a helicoptor in case I needed to get to the mainland in an emergency.

Might even learn how to fill my own teeth :D

I'd buy a house and invest the rest.

It wouldn't mean all that much to me.

I'd probably give what I don't need to charity

Put loads into savings, and then use the rest to travel the world.
I really want to backpack around the globe. I think reading 'The Beach' had something to do with it :P

I would invest money (in the very moment I don't know in what) and I would travel the world.

Be carried down main street in a litter while screeming 'HA HA HA, I HAVE ALL THE MONEY!'

Either that or tour Europe, I could go either way.

I'd buy a house, and then I wouldn't have anything left over really.

I'd put $100,000 into ten separate savings accounts/CDs, $10k each. I'd use the interest to buy things and live off of monthly. I'd possibly put $150k into a swiss account.

With the rest I'd pay off any and all debts that I owe. Then I'd quit my job and travel and do things I'd like to try to do. Then maybe I'd buy a few homes, a summer home, a winter home, and maybe a getaway from the world home. I'd invest in real estate, buy a few properties to rent or lease out. Help out my family where I can and just do what I want to do.

Put it in a CD, where it will draw insane amounts of interest. I did that with half of my inheritance.

I forgot to add about books, I will keep a large library on my island and build a sacred space.

I would buy some land in the mountains, in British Columbia, and build a log home, that is off the grid, and totally self sufficient. I would also like to see the world, but not before taking care of my friends and family, I would also start a scholarship for under privileged kids and maybe something to help the homeless

I'd buy a three story house, for me and my two Rat Mates to live in, and we can each live on one floor. I'd buy us each, all the gadgets that we desire. I would also get the rooms on each of our floors, decorated, by Nate and pay him the money. I'd sign the three of us up, for cooking classes, so that we'd be able to good decent meals, and I'd hire someone to do the cleaning, once a week, and another person to do the yard work. I'd put $5 million on the bank, and donate the rest of the money to WP. 8)

This is all considering that I win $20 million or more. $$$$$

Not much different. I would go on pretty much the same. I'd give money to those that helped me a lot, even when they don't think the did much. I would invest. Be rich take a year off after college and do whatever. Get a job and quit until I find one I like. I won't have to worry about money.

I wish the United States was Communist. I mean true Communism, which has yet to be enacted. USSR wasn't true Communism, China isn't, North Korea isn't. I'm talking about Karl Marx's Utopia
