So you wake up and the morning and relieze you just hit the Jockpot of 12 Million dollars! How wold you start spending it! Would you keep it all or share the wealth!

I personally would start by giving a million to my parents, sister and Brother. I would put 2 milliona peice in my kids fund. Then I have lost family members to cancer and walk in every cancer walk I can, so I would donate to The cancer research. Then of course, go by a New car, and a new house, and Oh yeah ALOT of clothes and shoes!!!!


Your turn!!!

    I would be like you and give my parents and in-laws each a million and my sister also. Then the kids would each have a college fund and savings. I would add on to my house and build a big barn. I would donate a bunch of it to Rett Syndrome research because I am praying for a cure for my littlest angel and other girl affect by this horrible disease. I would build my church family a new place to worship as the current chuch is way too small. I really can't even fathom that much money, but I know it really wouldn't change me or the way I live.

    I would buy an enormous piece of land and open a no kill shelter for homeless dogs. Everything else I'd pretty much keep the same because I'm sure that endeavor would take all of the money!

    There are a few people that I would try to make sure they never had another worry in the world.
    After that would be to find a place to spend winters that is warmer then NY.

    12 million?

    Wow- I would give 1 million to my grandparents, 1 mil to my parents, 1 to each of my siblings (3), donate 1 mil, 1 mil in savings for each kid we plan on having (2), invest 2 mil, then have the last bit to spend on a house, paying off debt, getting some clothes and fun stuff!

    Mostly, I would want to make sure that my family would be financially secure. I'd keep working...so my life wouldn't change that much! I'd just be working more for fun than for money!

    I would pay off all my bills and clean up my credit report.
    I would pay off my house!
    I would give my kids both some money (not sure how much, don't want to spoil them). I would definately make sure my grandsons are taken care of with a college fund and money for when they turn 21.
    I would do something to help animals.
    My parents are both decease so it's just me, my hubby, 2 kids and grandsons.
    I would help my inlaws out but they are not the type to want money so I would just help them out with whatever they need.
    Then I would just shop and buy whatever I want because you can't take it with you so you might as well spend it. But I will keep enough in the bank to last through retirement years!

    If I won 12 million I would not give money to anyone. I would buy them the things they need to live in comfort for the rest of their days, I would buy myself a live-in personal trainer (maybe Julian Michaels), wisely invest and live off the interest.

    Oh and I would take a cruise.

    If only?!?!?!:flowerforyou:

    First, I'd pay off all my bills.
    Next I'd invest in high dividend stocks which have been stable for more than 10 years... enough to give me 40,000$ a year to live off of.
    Then I'd buy my parents a new house, I'd pay off my girlfriend's, my brother's, and his wife's student loans. Then I'd put 200,000$ in bonds for both of my nephews to make sure their college educations were covered.

    From there, I'd save half, and the rest would go to charity.

    First I'd give 10 percent to my church then I'd split the rest with my kids and my sisters. (Parents are deceased) I'd buy a house and a car and pay off all my debts.
