What I Would Do If I Won a Million Dollars
What would I do if I won a million dollars? For example, from the lottery maybe? Yes, the chances of winning are just as likely as being abducted by aliens but if I did, I this were to happen, what would I do with the cash? Winning the lottery is a favorite daydream for a lot of us. If I had a million dollars, I'm guessing I would definitely want more. I would probably try to discover a way to double the million, probably put it up in a bank somewhere for a few years and let it collect some interest. If not all at least some, maybe half, would go to the bank. It seems that no matter how much money people tend to have, it's never quite enough. Lots of hands would begin to appear in though this for sure. You turn into a millionaire and all of a sudden dues are owed and old friends you haven’t talk to in years will pop up wanting to be best of friends. It’s funny how people react when one gets ahold of a little cash. I gotta admit though, having a million dollars would be a lot of fun. With my bad money managing skills it probably last a few days. I'd most likely give at least a a few thousands of it to my grandparent’s church and some to a kids charity. And I’d probably give a little to help the folks I knew in need. But of course this would all happen after I have made sure my family is all set. In my family there aren’t just 3 or 4 of us, there’s MANY. I'd get a few houses in the tropical islands, a couple of new computers, laptops, with walk-in closets in each room. A year long vacation with my whole family somewhere exotic would be nice, too. After my family is all taken care of id divide the remaining money into separate accounts, one for each of my younger siblings. This money would go the each of them to use on college or whatever they decide when their 18 (better be college!) and I’m sure a few thousand or so on educational benefits for me. If I were older, though, I would certainly need to spend it on my family, on cars and

    Many people dream of being rich and successful, and while this is not necessarily bad, it is how you implement that money in your daily life that defines you as a person. Working hard, long hours for your money is one thing, but when your goal is to spread your wealth amongst your peers is another. Ultimately, money should be used as a tool to connect with and improve the lives of others. As Maya Angelou once said “people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” Angelou understood the truth that evades this generation; that fame and money mean nothing if they are not backed by…

    Nevertheless, I'd admit that having a million dollars would be a lot of fun. I wonder how much of a million would be left after tax? Yes, I'd most likely give at least a tenth of it to the church and some to the charity. I'd even give some to help the folks who can't help themselves, but, unless I suddenly became some kind of financial genius, all that money would disappear quickly.…
