Sit on it and live off the interest.
-
Invest / save a half, give a quarter away, and put the rest into getting through the next 8 years (college + grad school).
-
Burn 100 dollar bills in the fireplace at winter to keep me warm. Invest the money WISELY, hire a chef and move from this crappy city.
-
Buy Answerbag, buy lots of houses and cars, give some to my parents and family, and then donate to charities.
-
wipe my A$$ with dollar bills lol

1. Pay the taxes on it. 2. With whatever fraction the government leaves me, I would find a nice safe investment to put it in 3. Use some of the interest as a supplement to my income. 4. Reinvest the rest of the interest so that the principal would continue to grow so that I would eventually also have a good supplement to my retirement fund. (If it were $10 million (tax free), then I would retire immediately, find a PhD program into which I could by my way, complete a PhD, and then go back the my Alma Matre and say, "I am independently wealth. You don't have to pay me anything. Just give me an office and let me teach and do research as I feel like it.")
-
I would burn each bill to keep myself warm.
-
If I would invest it in a IRA or stock not ina bank as the intrest would be nothing and you could get 10-15% in stocks !Is this pre-tax or post tax 500,000k is not much although I could make some money with it ! Invest wisely !
-
Convert it into Indian rupees or something to create the illusion that I have a thousand times more money than I really do.
-
After taxes and paying for my college education, there wouldn't be much left, if any at all. I might give some away to charity and then save the rest.
-
I would invest it- you could get at least 8% interest on the amount, which would add up to $80,000 per annum. I think I could manage to live on that for the rest of my life!
-
Pay for college, get a fixer upper house, car, and donate a large portion of it.
-
Get all the Answerbaggers together for one hell of a party.
-
Buy a house and two cars, give a large portion to child abuse prevention, animal rescue and Alzheimer's research and put some in the bank.
-
G'day Vanderde, Thank you for your question. I would pay off my mortgage and my Dad's mortgage. I would invest the rest as a nice little nest egg for the future. Regards
-
Bank it and invest part of the first years interest and use interest money for personal expenses while I use my regular income as I normally do.
-
Ask for it to be exchanged for the equivalent value in pounds sterling.....I live in the UK! :-)
-
Buy a home, cars, new everything, save, invest, college for my kids,pay off bills, have a perma grin,put some aside for utility bills, live large, and lastly I would make sure my kids had some money in the bank. Ok, now let me get out that mind state and get back to reality...
-
Pay taxes and then pay off building my house. The rest, if there is a rest, goes to savings to pay property taxes next year and the year after that. That's what we do here, pay taxes.
-
I would have my parents and 2 best friends over for dinner. In the middle of dinner I would ask everyone to put their wallets on the table, pull out all major credit cards and call and pay them off for desert.
-
Where's it for?
-
gift card? Like I could only spend it at certain stores? Or could I do anything with the money? I'd pay off all my debt, buy a nice but nothing-too-fancy house, and build the baddest gaming PC you've ever seen.
-
Open it!
-
i would buy things for people, but make them pay me back in cash, but make them pay me back a little less than what they would originally pay for it, and then spend the cash wherever i wanted.
-
If I could pay things off on it, I would put 10% straight into an account for the orphanages I support. Then, with the rest, pay off my family's debts, and the debts of those closest to me. What is left over, if I could not put the money into investment, then I would buy property to generate income.
-
If it was for the whole mall then I would buy: a big screen TV, loads of books, a massage chair, loads of cds, loads of dvds, a bunch of games for the Wii, an Xbox 360 Elite and games to go with it, shoes, clothes, and some nice jewelery. Maybe more if I could think of any more.
-
Spend some, invest some, donate some to charity and share some w/ Hairwatcher and rawr
-
"Spend some, invest some, donate some to charity and share some w/ Hairwatcher and rawr" JYNX!
-
First I would pay off all my bills and mortgage. Then I would help those around me that need it. Spend some to help my very best friend out of his predicament and give some to charity. Then I would go on a wonderful much needed vacation and invest the rest!~
-
Pay all my bills...pay back my parents...buy a car...buy a beach house by the ocean...

I would buy a condo with maid service. Keeping up this 7 room house is driving me nuts.
-
Pay off the mortgage and some debts and travel around in an RV.
-
Well, you know, a million bucks ain't what it used to be. With just a mill, I think I'd pay off my house, my car, and any outstanding debt that my immediate family might have, within reason. Then, I think I'd treat all my close friends to a very nice vacation. I always thought it would be very cool to take a cruise or an island vacation with my best friends. I probably have about 16 people in mind. I know everyone could use the money, but a really nice luxurious vacation may be something that some of them might not get to enjoy at any other time. I'd like to do that. :) The rest, I would frugally invest for the future.
-
Save it for College
-
thanks for killing my dreams, lol. i would invest it. A million dollars can hardly get me a house where I live...ugh! money....such a drag.

End poverty (in my house)

This is easy. 1). Give (at least) 15% to my church 2). Pay off my Mom's bills 3). Pay off my in-laws bills 4). Buy my wife a NEW house with a little land 5). Start small trust funds for my children 6). Pay off all my bills 7). Donate some to the Scottish Rite hospital 8). Put the rest in CD's or mutual funds I could finish out my life pretty comfortable with that much money, and help some people in the process!
-

1. Help my elderly parents 2. Set-up funds and educational services to help animals and women and children in abusive relationships 3. Sell the house and buy a farm with atleast 50 acres of land and a river or pond on the property. 4. Start my own business.
-
Spend it.
-
I'd buy you John Merick's remains.
-
What are the denominations of those bills? or is this a check? I only ask because if I have to count it to be sure, probably nothing. If was for real and not some advertising scheme to get me to buy a water softening system or a freezer array of some kind I'd likely give the balance of it to someone who needed it more after I bought some plastic animals for my lawn and a few other useless things I'd wind up storing in the garage or basement. Attic maybe if I had one.
