If You had $1M...

what would you do with it?

I think my husband and I would buy a house that we really wanted and buy things we need for our house such as couches, coffee tables, bedroom set, etc. 

We would pay off all our bills (including school loans!) and pay off our cars.  Then probably buy me a newer car and my husband would drive the one I have now. 

I would go get my master's in music education. 

We would probably take a nice trip or two.

And then put some money in bonds for our future children.

Your turn!

  • Pay off student loans, and Zach's car, get me a new car, start up college savings for future kids, go on that Ireland trip we've been wanting to go on since forever, give some to his sister to help pay off her loans, and put the rest in the bank.
  • I would....

    buy a fur coat (but not a real fur coat that's cruel)

    buy some art (maybe a Picasso or a Garfunkel)

    buy an exotic pet (like a llama or an emu)

    and I would still eat Kraft dinners!

    J/K but how could I not respond with that to a post titled "If You had a million dollars?"

     I would pay off our house and renovate.  I would pay off our debt.  I would save the rest since we plan on sending our kids to private school and that would take the rest of it I'm sure!

  • I would buy a larger (but not too large) home, then put the rest in the bank so I could stay home with our kids for a few years, start saving for my childrens' college, and have the rest for retirement.

  • 1. pay off our mortgage...and do the addition of our dreams on our house...

  • $100,000 I would give to Charity (Both for moral reasons and for tax purposes)

    $300,000 I would split between our parents.

    $100,000 would get put away for Timmy's college education

    The rest would go toward buying a house and starting a business. I've always wanted to open a laundromat.. It sounds lame, but it's pretty low maintenance, and we would have a constant flow of customers. The merchandise that would be sold are all non perishable items, mostly soap and laudry bags. Also, no matter how bad the economy gets, people still wash their clothes.
