Well, without being cynical over the probabilities of this happening, I'd probably help some of my close friends who are currently struggling. My mom has always wanted her own property out of town, so that would be next on the list. I'd probably live on the property, too. I'd put 90% of the rest into savings until I could figure out what to do with it, and use the other 10% to travel- a long wish of mine. As well as take care of basic necessities Hell, 10% might even be a bit much.

Pretty boring imo. I would just be too scared of spending it stupidly and would want to hole away as much as I could until I could figure out things I want to do. I'd definitely want to take care of my family first and foremost.That and try and build on it, it's always said that money makes more money

I'd pay of my 20K college debt and put another 200,000 aside for my masters and Ph.D, then I'd pay off both my parents' mortgages (about 500K if I round up), and give everyone in my family a million, putting me out another 5 million. After that, I'd buy a house in the country with a giant finished basement and turn the whole thing into a sensory room (I've even drawn out the schematics for it). I'd also buy a new car, as mine is 21 years old and on its last legs, and donate some to homeless organisations and humane societies, then put the rest in the bank and live off the interest.

I would take it, and then loose it, and then loose it again, for about ninety plus times. And then report it on my income tax so I would never have to pay income tax again. Like my role model the Donald!

If I had $10 million.
I would either buy or rent a second home in another state.
Learn how to drive a car.
Buy lots of CDs.
Go on vacations.
Hire escorts.
Get a high credit limit on my credit card

I been giving this some thought. That is because when my father died he was a wealthy man. so this more of a reality scenario. Plus I have some life skills counselor to help me

First I'd put it in the bank. I don't want to make any rash decisions.
I'd use it to support myself for the most part.
My own apartment, a car, travel. pay off any debt.
Pay for family meals (not all, but it would be a point of pride to be able to pay for a meal with my family)
I would also contribute to cause I believe in.

Buy myself a goshiwan apartment, move in there and seclude myself with anime and games until the end of my days. I've seen and done quite a bit in life and to everyone who would criticize fantasy as "not real", they can bite me. I like fictional character far better than most people I've been forced to deal with.

6. Pay for someone to teach me how to become independent.
7. Invest the rest of it.

My student loans are all paid off now, so I would instead invest that part in a college fund for my baby nephew. :heart:

I would move into a small rancher that has enough space for me to store all of my stuff. I'd buy myself a Living Cube which is a storage bed that has closet space inside of it. I'd buy a coffee table that has a giant computer tablet, or should I say a tea table. :wink:

I'd also buy myself a holographic TV set and a German made stereo system with a CD player and a turntable. I'd keep my Chromebook because I love it so much.

I'd also buy myself an accordion and moss green lederhosen to fit around my pot belly. I would also buy German and Bavarian flags to hang around my home.

I would buy myself a high end washer and dryer, dishwasher, fridge, stove with a range top oven and a freezer to store all my meat and bread in. I'd also buy a cuckoo clock for my kitchen.

I'd also go to a really good driving school and buy myself a Volkswagen of some sort.

Move to Alaska or some other place and become a hermit. Not even a joke answer, I'd just do that. There's more planning involved, but that's essentially the gist of it. Oh, and I'd also get a bunch of animals like goats and chickens.
