What would you do If I gave you 2 Million Dollars?

Answer 1

I am a firm believer that charity begins at home. I would have to say the first million would go towards my family...being we could use some financial aid. I would help my grown children continue their education so they could make a better living. The next million would be invested for future needs and my grandchildren. Hopefully, I would have invested wisely and then I could work with a charity. Two million would change our lives but....I would have to fix my family before fixing someone else's.

Answer 2

Ok. Even though this is going to make me late for hockey, I figure I had to answer before the ballot closed on this one. The first million would go all to charity - probably to people down in New Orleans who still need so much or maybe the people in Kentucky who experienced the world EPA disaster ever in 2000 and it was barely on the news. (Thank you, Bob Edwards & NPR!)

The other million I would break down among family and friends. I would still pursue becoming a school teacher, I'd just live in a nicer house while doing it.

Probably the thing I would want to do most is give a fair amount to an ex-girlfriend - for no other reason than she thinks worldly in ways I've never seen in any other person I know. She has done two documentaries now - one on the holocaust and another on AIDS in Africa. I have no interest in getting back together with her, but I would want to give her 50K or so and just say "Do good work." and send her off to do what she loves - informing the world of causes and situations that the world needs to open its eyes to.

Answer 4

I would begin by starting a non-profit patent organization to help inventors get a start without putting up large fees. I would than patent some of my own inventions, which include learning tools for children, and a new type of security system for taxi cabs. I would also build a new type of taxi cab, using gravimetric drive.

If I'm successful, I will use the profits from these and other inventions, to build Dads House.

Answer 5

i would set up a huge house that taught young mothers independance, and responsability so there would be less abortion and children bein adopted out, or a boarding house for single fathers who have hard time with their kids, cant get accomodation or cant access daycare while they look for work, either way it would be used for charity, and as im totally for charity, im also for independance, so teaching ppl independance and to earn what they deserve would be a big part of it all... some ppl get it hard and just need a little nudge up the ladder, where kids r involved is important to me...i been nany for 19 yrs but cant have my own,...so looking after every 1 elses and helping kids is my purpose... every 1 needs care and understanding, just some more than others... : )

Answer 6

Choose a reasonable lump sum to enjoy and live it up with, say 10%.
Then I would go to a decent financial advisers, have my risk attitude assessed and see what investments they would recommend.
Depending on my current income I may consider supplementing it with an income from your investment, hopefully without affecting my current tax situation. Or perhaps invest for growth for the medium to long term.
But that is what I would do, this is by no means a recommendation.

Answer 7

Give one dollar to two million people.

Answer 8

Pack my job in, pay off mine and my sisters mortgages (so I've always got somewhere to come home to and my sister can stay home and have more cute babies), travel the world and try to spread some good - think Sam in Quantam Leap - probably get end up getting a good kicking for sticking my oar in but hey I will have tried my best ; )

Answer 9

I would buy my own house, clear off any debt that I have, buy a nice family car, and set up a bank account for my children, so that they would have a good start in life for when they start University or College. I would keep on working as I enjoy it and it gets me out of the house!!

Answer 10

Buy a Jungle/Forest With a Great Nature For My Own.

Answer 11
