+ pay my brother's college tuition
+ give my mom's side of the family money so they won't have to live in the lower level of someone else's house anymore, they can have their own apartment building
+ give my mom money so she can go to San Francisco to be with them
+ pay my father's medical bills
+ pay my own medical bill
+ get my eyebrows done (I'm really low on cash because I haven't gotten my paycheck yet)
+ buy toys, clothes, and books for the charity drive me and some other people are in the process of developing
+ walk around Chinatown, New York and buy the complete stock of all the not so fortunate people who have to sell fake handbags/watches or odds and ends to make a living
+ buy myself a penthouse apartment on 5th Ave and throw around $100 bills while dancing around in my lingerie to Fergie - Fergalicious

I have been thinking about just this question all day! This is what I came up with.
I want to help as many people as long as I can...not just for the short term and I want to help them help themselves not a handout but a real hand up! So I have figured out a way I think will work!
First, I would hire an attourney to set up 5 different high yield savings accounts, then I would ask him to set the accounts up in my corporations name, but have the interest paid directly to five hand picked families from anywhere in the world.
Then I would have him draw up a contract with the family that would state that #1) they only get the 5,350.00 dollars worth of interest a month, to live off of for one year! they can choose to do anything they choose to do with that money. If they choose to blow it than they blow it...But if they really want to be productive and live compassionately and productively for the rest of thier lives and give thier children the same....that is enough money per month to have plenty of opportunity to achieve wonderful things.
When the year is up the interest goes to another family and so on and so on....until the end of time or until world poverty is no longer an issue!
My hope with this is that the families that are helped by this hand up will then turn around and help others they have the opportunity to help! Paying it forward is always rewarded!

o.k. my mom has been in the hospital for 3 months now. She went in for simple hernia repair the colon was wrapped around the hernias which he found out that was more than 1 . She has had ARDS, SEPSIS, MRSA and a few Rude Nurses. Also she has to be fully Rehabed. I don't want a million dollars unless it would let my mom live so I would say exchange it for LIFE.

I would give 1/2 of it to my favorite charities. I would then take a year off and work for habitat for humanity, save most of the remainder for my daughter's future and, for me, I would take a trip around the world.

I would buy a genie also if they were for sale and ask him/her for even more money. I would buy a new house or maybe a number of houses as an investment , put some away for fun and not blow any of it on smokes, booze or gambling.
