Firstly, I would quit my day job.
Then, I would pay all the bills for my wedding.
Continue on, I would then buy a new or renovate house for my parents.
By then, I would give time to work at SPCA and orphanage.
Invest some on stocks/properties.

First I would find out who to thanks. Then I would get my husband to stopping working to take care of his health problems . Then I would pay off all of our debts and spend the rest of my life working in the service of others in need.

I’d be retired. Immediately
I live low enough on the hog that the interest alone on it would be three times my annual salary, so it would be no problem to quit working

I’d move more rurally and have room for fruit trees as well as as bigger garden. Except for moving I’d let the money ride mostly

I’d finish getting my daughter thru nursing college, and I’d set up college accounts for all my grandkids

And I’d be able to give, from the interest, to my fav charities locally. I think except for being able to give more generously, and to spend more time with my family (not working) my life would not change a lot as I’m already about as happy as a person can be!

I want to have 12 million. But, one million would not be bad at all. Pay of $220K debt and play with the rest. I would not be investing a lot into investment portfolios, instead build a business that would keep me busy for the rest of my life and help the economy… one thing we would do is around the world cruise on HAL in January 2010.

I would purchase a larger, detached house with about one acre of land in the country where it is cheaper. I would have to sell my present house to have enough money because I think such a house as I would like would cost about £750000 in the uk.

I think I’d spend around 6% right away, paying off all my debts, and hiring a financial advisor to help me allocate the rest wisely.

Stephen: You are the first person to say that you will still keep working but retire after one year and live off the interest. I think that’s such a good idea because most people end up using much of the winnings early and then end up not having enough when they could’ve delayed the enjoyment but made it last a lifetime!

Omg.. if I got a million dollars… I would put it in a high yield savings account that earns at least 5%. In a year, I would earn 50k or more in interest without ever touching the principle. After taxes, you are looking at around 35k a year to spend. How many of us americans live with a 40k/year job? That’s before taxes. That is more than enough to live on without ever working. Treat each month like it’s your paycheck and pay off your bills and debt till it’s all done. I would however work a good solid year so you could build the interest up to where the second year, you could start spending your interest money and just retire forever.
