How do you spend it? What things do you buy with it? After you buy all the things you desire, do you have any money left over? If so, how much?
If none left, why?

I wouldn't spend it, just let it sit there and show off Of course there'd be 10 shotguns pointed at it so if someone decides to act up...................

Not sure if pointing a shotgun at a pile of money is the greatest of ideas in less of course you would like some very expensive confetti.

One million is not enough for me. It not even enough to buy a mansion.

Yes, one million wont get you very far, real estate wise, in any major cities these days. But you could certainly turn that million into a more sizable amount through wise investments and *then* get your desired residence

Yes, and that's why privacy is very important nowadays. Imagine if someone knows that you have one million dollar in hand....

Well, after doing an excel spreadsheet of all products and services I'd get:
Tithes & Offering A 2-floor Home (insurance, taxes, utilities, etc.) Lawncare Cleaning products Internet & Cable Interior Design and Furniture (for bedrooms, gameroom, loft, kitchen, etc.) Vehicle (insurance, tags, registration, maintenance, etc.) Investments Debt to Family & Friends Jewelry & Accessories Wardrobe & Shoes Electronics (stereo, home theater systems, another custom-made pc, plasmas etc.) Entertainment & Travel Groceries & Personal Care Music Studio Equipment Books & Movie Services
It costs $615,049.40 so far paying things off in full and services paying that at least a year in advance and such. Top 3 most expensive things on my list so far are investments, my home, and my vehicle. A lot of the other stuff I've found real cheap on the Internet. I'm frugal. . Spend less and have more left to get more. I do quite a bit of online shopping. Besides there's just some things I desire that Austin just doesn't have. Out with the old (well most of it -hehe-) and in with the new.
I still have another $384,950.60 left to spend. Not sure how I'm going to spend it, yet. Haha.

Thats just paper, imagine $129 million in land reserves and real estate willed to you. Imagine waiting till your 60 as part of the deal to get it. Its gonna be nice! Hope I dont croak first!

If i won that somehow i'd probably stick 50% of it in my brokerage account for investing and 50% in an emigrant direct account. I most likely wouldn't do the real estate thing because i prefer a more passive income. Real estate stuff takes too much work

I would put it on my banking account and will never think about it again. Then I would live off it with 2% per year.
Ok ok, I would buy a little house on an Island (Canary Islands ) and then have a good life. No fancy things like fast cars or ships.

200k into homeless child and other charities 350k for me to travel around the world and help poor people that have the same destiny as me. 300k into forex and the last 150k to buy a new house and a car.
back to reality, i think im a humble person, all the simple things always make me happy. i hope can get a wife, live with her in a place where no air n sound pollution, and have about stable 3k pounds from forex by 25 year old.
P.S i bought a national lottery yesterday for tomorrow and next wednesday draw, will post here if i get the 1st prize.
