1 million dollars

[Littletreasures]

hey guys
well no i didnt win the lottery (it would be nice )
I just wanted to see what would be the first thing you would do if you won 1 million dollars???

I would buy a house and a car pay my bills, :smiliedance:
then im not sure what i would do with the rest maybe help my family out

Isnt it nice to dream :p

[~EmsMum~]

Id buy a house
get a nice car
put enough away to send DD to a decent private school
go on a shopping spree
and put some money away

[kymmy]

Pay my tithes
Buy a house
Buy a car
Go shopping
maybe invest
but then it would all be gone ...........

[mum2bubba]

I would buy a house in Queensland and a new car and MAYBE give a little to family and friends (depends what mood I'm in) and put the rest away.

[Ana Gram]

pay off all the bills
Buy a house
buy a car
set up my business
and have a bit of a spending spree on myself for a change!

[Mum&bubs]

Buy a house & new car straight up :thumbsup:

[cheezelkat]

House, car and shopping spree!

[Mum2Bug]

Id buy a house
get a nice car
put enough away to send DD to a decent private school
go on a shopping spree
and put some money away

ditto it all.....oh and a trip to a day spa

[angcaltam]

I would pay off our debts, buy a house, go on a honeymoon/family holiday and then put the rest away, but dip into it every now and then to go on a shopping spree.

[JATS]

I'd invest the lot, some in property, maybe a buisness or two, the rest in shares, then hubby and I could sit back, never work again and live comfortable on a healthy passive income the rest of our lives, it'd also set our kids up for life too.

I don't know why ppl would buy house/car/holidy when you have the oppertunity to set yourself up for life!

[diamonds22]

1mil isnt much these days:no:

I think we would just pay of the houses and go on a nice lil holiday (hopefully to bora bora!!) and put the rest (if theres any left) into a lil nest egg with high interest return for our dd's schooling.

[JATS]

1mil isnt much these days:no:

No, 1mil isn't alot, but it's enough for a smart person to set themself up for life. Think outside the square :thumbsup:

[diamonds22]

hmm i dunno...theres shares but there to risky for me...and the houses we buy are usually around the 5 mark...so thats 2 houses and a mil gone...there good investments which are great and add a bit of extra money here and there..but nothing to go and quit our jobs for...now if it was 5,10,21 mil....now that you could do a lot with and never lift a finger again!!:thumbsup: jmo but a mil is handy..but really not that much.

[spring]

Id take 10 grand out & go shopping, first stop Toy World then Foot Locker then music, new TV, stereo then the next day I would go to Dream World & buy lunch there for once & souvineres & a helicopter ride.:smiliedance:
After we have had our fun then I would start looking for a house, car etc':yes:

I'd build a house for us, with a spa bath and the sun coming into my bedroom in the morning.

That would make me the happiest girl in Australia, to have those two things.

I would update my car, but that's only about 20 grand or so.

Go on a holiday once bubby is born, but that's on our list anyway.

I'd get DP his big screen TV that he's been pining for, but he's getting that anyway too.

I'd go to the chiro and massage therapist every day for the rest of my pregnancy. Pity I can't buy a new pelvis.

There's not much I would do. I am pretty happy the way things are, as pathetic as that sounds. Only thing I would really love is the spa bath and the bedroom facing the morning sun. And that's definitely on our list already, but its for "one day". The lottery would make it "today".

There's people I would give money to anonymously, about five grand each, and they would never know where it came from, if I could plan that properly.

[Pices_79]

ohhhhhh wouldnt that be nice!!!

1. Pay off the mortgage
2. Buy a new car
3. Pay off all the debts
4. Invest the rest

Would LOVE to have an OS holiday however being up the duff - I would enjoy it later on!!!

[Taylors_mum]

Would be soooooooooooooo nice....... :fingerscrossed:

*Pay off Mortgage
*Pay off In-laws Mortgage
*Pay off all debts
*DF would probably spend the rest on a car :banghead:

[FOURtunate]

1. Pay off debts
2. Knock down existing house and build the best house ever
3. Invest in our businesses
4. Take the kids on a well deserved trip to Vanuatu (that's their choice of destination at the moment)
5. Put some money away for a rainy day (it's raining today....)

:smiliedance: There wouldn't be much left over, but I'd love some new furniture, and I've been waiting for some money for an operation I need so here's hoping that $$$1M$$$ arrives soon. :smiliedance:

[little mermaid]

I would build a house for me and buy a house for an investment then there would be nothing much left. Maybe some furniture for my dream home.

[kymmy]

I don't know why ppl would buy house/car/holidy when you have the oppertunity to set yourself up for life!

cos its important when you have never had those things
though i like the idea of investment too

[JATS]

cos its important when you have never had those things

uh huh, I've never had any of those things either, but wise investment would mean a dream home, lifetime of new cars and luxurious holidays :D

[CJJHRA]

the car would be first thing to buy, so then we can drive around in a nice car looking for a house.
Once wehave all our bills paid and our house we want, I would probably buy an invesment property. then share whats left to my parenets sister and brothers. And I would also dontae a good $10 000 to the childrens hospital here.

[Tulp]

Put it in our joint account and will discuss with DH what we can do with the money.

Most will probably go to the house we are planning on buying. Technically we have everything we can possibly need so the rest of the money will go into an education savings plan for the little one who is on the way, investment property, some will go to our moms and dads and fixed account.

[cheezelkat]

Although it seems wasteful to think of me first, the way I think of it is that I could use the value on my own home to help mortgage an investement property :thumbsup:

[suemp]

id firstly buy a house and i dont think its a bad move financially. it doesnt have to be the ultimate dream house, id love money left in the bank earning us interest, but the thought of never having to pay rent again (which just keeps going up and up)...BLISS:yelclap:

[EskimoMumma]

1)Become debt free and pay ahead in most of the bills
2)Buy a house
3)Buy 2 cars
4)Deck out the house
5)Clothes to go with the house :rolleyes:

[Milliner]

Upgrade house and car, shopping, personal trainer to get me motivated to lose weight LOL. Give some to family

[SammieSnail]

buying a house and a car and paying off debts are definitely most people's top priorities :)


Pay off the mortgage
Pay off mum's credit card and destroy it
Set-up a $10000 high interest account to keep mum and brothers and sisters going.
Pay back money anon family member lent us
Use $400,000 ($100,000 deposit per house) to buy four investment properties in Qld (financed by interest-only loans)
$40,000 worth of renovations for of house
$20,000 in a high interest account for bubs
$30,000 in a high interest account for 'emergencies'


and gosh :eek: that leaves $375,000 for DH to play with...not too shabby if I must say so myself :p

[Deity]

I just like saying One Million Dollars in Dr. Evil Style. It makes me laugh :laughing:
