what would you do with a million dollars if you had no debt, already traveled the world, and your already gave to charity, friends and family?

    buy some land, build a series of lakes on the place, stock them with all kinds of awesomeness, and invest what was left to pay the maintenance bills.

    And in Texas I could actually afford all that...

    I would continue to travel the world via bicycle and start a video blog to share my journey with everyone.

    Agreed on the land -- buy a ton of it and build a really nice house.

    Then I'd probably get irresponsible and see if I could afford to get Butch Walker, Jack White, and Ed Sheeran to do a private "welcome to your new house!" performance for me. :smiley:

    $1 million isn't that much money anymore, unfortunately. I'd set it aside for my kids education.

    Pay off all of my debt and then just make it rain because I don't even care about anything else.

    I would pay off my moms house, put plenty of money aside for my little brother and my son to go to college, help my sister get through school, buy a big piece of land, build a house on it. Nothing exciting lol. A million wouldn't last long

    this is very true. which is why you'd need to make it grow to be more useful.

    Oh man! I was too excited about the opportunity to even read the question. Ok ...

    I would buy a few Beanie Babies on eBay so that those people feel validated in saving them for close to 20 years because they heard they'd be worth money someday.
