Occasionally Daffy: What Would <i>You</i> Do With One Million Dollars?

Wednesday, July 20, 2005

Putting fantasies aside, if you hit the lottery and cleared $1,000,000.00 after taxes, what would you realistically do with the money?

At 3:12 PM, J said...: I'd buy a nice but not ostentatious (sp) house on the southern coast of Maine. I'd make babies, and have an art studio. I'd retire from the accounting business and concentrate on art, knowing that at least my house was paid for:)
At 9:49 AM, Max said...: You said "what would you do with the money", as opposed to "how would your life change / what would you do differently?"

Realistically, I'd meet with a financial advisor and discuss how I could invest it wisely so that it lasts. My immediate financial goals would be to pay off my student loan and put a down payment on a house.

Now, if I had enough money where I could buy a house straight cash and not have to work forever, I'd probably go back to grad school full-time to get a masters and possibly doctorate degree in mathematics.
