I have one million dollars.

I pay 2/3 of it in taxes.

I have $333K left.

I invest it.

The OP said "you TAKE HOME" $1 million...so I think she meant that you actually "have" that much....

^^ This. I assumed you won much more than that, but had a million left after taxes.

maab_connor

ok - so half goes to taxes for unearned income.

pay off my mom's house & my bills - buy and fix up a used RV and a truck i can fix myself - take to the open road for a month. i can probably stretch it for that.

but i this is why i don't buy a lotto ticket for less than 100M.

Whether it's a million or a third of a million, I'd still invest it. Wouldn't touch a dime. I'd rather sit on a ton of money than sit on a ton of things that the money bought.

tishajo

Bronx_Montgomery

3LittleMonkeyMom

1. Full college ride for all 3 kids. (We have funds started already, but this would just cap it off before we planned)

2. Pay off House.

3. Reface said house

I don't think our lifestyle would change much. We might have a better yearly vacation but really...we're very happy as we are.

YoungDoc2B

1) Pay off loans
2) Help out family

Sh1tsRainbows

Buy myself a gold medal because my #1 isn't "pay off my debts"

MaraDiaz

I'd find out which countries would now allow me to apply for citizenship based on my newly acquired wealth. Then I'd move. Any family member who wanted to live on my million would be welcome to move with me. The money would go a lot farther and I want out of here anyway.

Charlie..... is that you??

MandaPaigeSparkles88

Pay off mine and my families bills
Buy myself a house
Buy a new car

On a side note if I had more than a million dollars I'd buy myself a private island and hire some hot men wearing nothing but loin cloths and have them cater to my every need. Hey a girl can dream can't she. Like my mamma always told me Amanda if you are gonna dream dream big.

If we had one million dollars...

Before spending anything we'd take a vacation and consult with a really good investment consultant then

Pay off the house, get new car for my dh and decent ones for the teens to drive, give % to charity or a my son's high school that is really tiny and old and needs to be rebuilt and invest the remainder for education for myself and the kids. With 5 kids, I'm envisioning it costing over $150,000 for them to attend a four year college plus at least two are saying they want their master's.... I would say I'd help my family but my parents are financially secure as are my inlaws and my bro/sis would probably accept gifts but not of money.

mrsnathanandrew

1. Buy a house
2. Buy my mom a new car (I wrecked hers when I was in H.S.)
3. Put the rest away for when we have kids.

dirtydmvkid

1. Pay off Jeep
2. Buy a NEW Jeep (and by new I mean a beautiful CJ lol)
3. Invest

Here's a buzz-kill: if you earn a 4% annual rate of return on $1M, you'll take home $40k, pre-tax.

Not quite enough to retire and live on for the next (hopefully) 50 years...

Guess my husband will still have to work after I quit! :laugh:
