If I gave you $1,000,000.00 with a twist...?

Question

If I gave you $1,000,000.00 and told you, no one knew that I gave it to you and that you could not spend it on any one item that was more than $20.00 until it was all used up what would be first thing to enter your mind and what would most of your purchases be on?

Answer 1

I'd buy savings bonds.

I'd also buy thousands of $20 gift cards from Wal-Mart, Lowes, Sears, restaurants, and give them to homeless shelters, Habitat for Humanity, women's shelters, animal shelters, senior centers, nursing home residents, VA Hospitals, and so on.

Gee, I had fun spending your money!! Thx!

:D

Answer 2

First thought - what an awesome opportunity. Now, I would take that money and get 50,000 - 20.00 bills. Put each bill in an envelope and donate the lot to a homeless shelter to use one envelope at a time for the people who need it most, those without homes, food and clothing.

Answer 3

I would purchase clothes for my children at Kohl's, TJ Maxx, or Target, anything for kids you can buy for under $20. I could probably buy them some shoes at Payless for under $20, too. It'd buy a lot of happy meals or pizzas, too, so I wouldn't have to cook. I would also pay my ISP - $18 - and my long distance bill - only about $10 - $15 a month. Prescription co-pays are only $10 - I'd stock up. I could nickle and dime that $1MM till it was gone.

Answer 4

I, too, would get individual stock shares worth less than $20.00 each. And once I had used the million dollars for that, I'd use the interest and profit from my stocks and buy better things...because at that point, it would no longer be your million that I'm spending =)

Answer 5

My 1st thought would be OK. My 2nd thought would be Casino here I come. I would go buy 1 $20 chip at a time and go do my thing. I would keep all of the winnings in a separate pot that I could spend any way that I wished.

Answer 6

Books, books, books, a saw a hammer some boards to make some bookshelves, books, books, books (repeat).

Although, I love the idea someone had of giving $20 to various charities and charity cases. I'd try to spend at least 20 percent of it that way.

(-: And I'd give the books away to a good cause when I was done reading them.

Answer 7

um I already had my first thought and it was poverty. I make it fine on my own already and I live in poverty level, but i mean like third world country dirt poor people going hungry. And considering twenty dollars at a time. Then I guess I would have to give to a thousand charities all in the same month!
Most or all, because most likely all charity....maybe some for college but that's it. I don't need it THEY do :)

Answer 8

I'd donate it all to St. Judes Childrens Hospital...No ****... for real. It costs them a million dollars a dollars a day to keep their doors open. I am not affiliated with them in any shape or form, nor do I have any children of my own. Tis but a wonderful hospital in the south where miracles happen.
P.S. If I did happen to keep a couple bucks for myself...I'd buy like a 99 Toyota Tacoma fully loaded.

Answer 9

I would buy 50,000 items from Wal-Mart...then I would take them all back the next day and get the $1,000,000 in cash, therefore abiding to your rules while getting the 1 mil. back to spend on anything I wanted, whether it was <=$20 or not.

Answer 10

I would tell you to keep it because the first thing that would enter my mind is I'm not going to allow you to dictate to me how I will spend my money or how much I can spend at one time.Truly that's no gift and not even a nice gesture,its a power play on your part and I don't want to be a pawn in your game of chess.
