    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.

    Pay off debt, pay off my house, set up my mom financially for life, wisely invest so I would never have to "work" again, set up some sort of animal rescue/sanctuary business, do some traveling.

    Build a new house exactly how I want it. Then buy my husband an all original 1969 Charger (Dukes of Hazzard car, his dream car). Then invest in my childrens college education, my son wants to play for Alabama Crimson Tide.. that school is pricey. After that.. probably put it in savings.

    I would buy a huge plot of land, build stables, buy horses and open a boarding, breeding and riding center.

    I would allow a very nice, legitimate, high ranking government official in Nigeria to borrow my bank account to move some money - and earn millions more in the process.

    Then I would buy bitcoins and buy the internet before the federal government ruins it for good.

    With the money I made from the internet (billions of course) I would buy a Prius, Tesla, and one of every other hybrid and park them side by side. I would then run over them with my not-environmentally friendly custom HumVee Monster Truck.

    I would drink coffee and count it as water.
    I would eat M&Ms and call it a cleanse.
    I would not rack my weights, but would hire Valerie van der Graaf to do it for me.

    I could go on ... but this is make believe after all.
