If today you won $10 million, and you had only a month to live, what would you do in your remaining time?

Question

You suddenly have all that money... you'll be largely fit and healthy until you drop dead... how would you spend your time? Shopping binge? Found a charity? Be hedonistic? Help others? Travel? Give it all away to your favourite causes? Learn a new skill? Make your peace with the world and everyone you know? Write your memoirs? Post large amounts of money to random people in the phone book? Do that thing you always wanted to do?

Answer 1

I would use some of those money to clear off any debts that I have and my family and relatives. The remaining sum is going to be easy, you have a month to live, use that money for: family, close friends, charity drive + donation + hospital equipment + schools + libraries + animal shelters + non-profit charity groups.

There's a saying, it's better to be a spiritual millionaire than a material millionaire. After all, you won the money, it's time you share your wealth with the others. The more you give, the better. Do some good deeds, you will leave the world more peacefully and fulfilling.

Answer 2

I would rent a cottage in the middle of nowhere and split whatever time I had left to spend with my lover, my children and invite my family and closest friends over for some of the time.

The money? I don't want to be worrying about money in the last days of my life so I would ask my family and friends to donate it to their favourite charities and use some of it for themselves if they wanted to.

I don't need any places or buildings named after me, I know my loved ones would remember me and no amount of money can buy those memories.

Answer 3

First i would see that my family were looked after, then I would see how the rest of the money could help others, and then i would go places i haven't seen, do things i haven't done, spend time in the USA my favourite place in the world.
Then die happy

Answer 4

I would pray for God to direct me, in what I need to do with all that money. Most likely, the majority would go to charities and family and friends.

As for the amount of time left.....I would spend it praying and squeeze in every last second with my family and friends. I would try to make them understand that they don't need to hurt for me...that I am going to a better place.....and that we will all be together, again.....very soon.

Answer 5

I would probably use the money for something usefull...like find a poor area of america and help rebuild some houses. Although the govt would probably get mad at me for helping poor Americans and want me to donate money to the Iraqi people.

Answer 6

Quit my job, give half to The Nature Conservancy, the other half to World Wildlife Fund, meditate and write poetry until I die. Well, find someone to take care of the cats, too.

Answer 7

i think ill give 'em to people i love n to poor people,, umm but of course ill take some of them n make a trip all over the world in 3 weeks or sth n ill spend the last week with ma family

Answer 8

one month is not enough to do all i want with the money but since i only have this little time i would donate the money to a good cause, be it to help the poor, research or education.this way i will be remembered in a good way, don't you think?

Answer 9

I would use some of the money to make me well... and then blow the rest.. also giving some to childrens charity but enjoying every minute...

Answer 10

i will donate 5 million of them and give 4 million for my family and i'll take the rest to do something i alwys want to do, world traveling and enjoy the rest of my life.
