A million dollars is not really that much money when you consider most homes in my home state of Hawaii are now at least $600-1Million+.
But if I all of a sudden had $1,000,000 tax free, first I'd buy myself a Porsche GT3 and my wife a brand new BMW 545.
Then I'd pay for my son to go to any college he wanted to attend and could actually get into. I'd pay off all my debts, pay off my house and whatever I had left, I'd invest in an apartment maybe in the south of France near Nice and Monaco.
I'm sure after all that, I'd have nothing left over so I'd have to keep working just to pay the car insurance on my GT3.
I would buy a house a car a mac pro a macbook pro a massaging chair and live the rest of my life with a part time job because I wouldn't have to pay a house :)
i would buy myself an average 3 bedroom house, i would buy my parents the house of there dreams and take care of there living costs etc. Would also help my brother out with what ever he needs and with what ever i have left, spend on a lancer evo 4, top of the range gaming computer and multiple screens, and my living costs hopefully till the day i go bye bye.
