If I had a million in cash (after taxes) that I did not need I would see how many dogs and cats I could get spayed and neutered. I would probably do this by using the interest off the million to subsidize a program, working with vets and pet owners. |

I would quit my job (because I hate it) take out just enough for a years worth or minimum expense and invest the rest in a variation of high and low risk interest baring accounts and live off the interest.
oh and go back to school... |

First I would pay off all house and car loans that I had (or any other bills).
After that I would invest some of it in a savings account and perhaps a money market account.
I would then use a big chunk of it to create a animal sanctuary. I would pick up strays, spay or neuter them and then let them live in the park. I would also see to it that they had all their shots and such. Maybe I could get a vet to help out some. I hate to see stray animals suffer and die so I would do this and then let certain people adopt them, if their background checked out okay. There would be a modest donation to adopt the pet but that would be just to keep it running. I know it sounds like a pound but it would be a no kill sanctuary where the pets were actually happy and would have everything that they needed. If they spent the rest of their life there, fine. No pressure to get out like at a pound.
After that the rest would go in various bank accounts to be saved in case of anything that I need. I know that the government would probably take half of it. I would try to help people from time to time if I could. |

I would probably make 400k readily available to me, like in a savings account or something, and about 600k into cd's, and bonds
then i would probably figure out i'm not spending the money as fast as i thought i would and end up putting more into cd's and bonds
then i would probably end up spending too much and not be able to get to the cd's for a while and having to wait until the bonds mature
so in the end i would probably try to figure out how to do good in the stock market or real estate so that i could turn that money into more money (probably real estate, just buy a property then sell it for more than you paid for it, and just keep repeating...probably harder than it sounds though) |

I'd buy a couple of franchises, either fast food or perhaps small convenience stores that sell gas, maybe some real estate. I wouldn't go out & blow it all, but I would have to buy my dream car with some of it! |

I'd take a 6 month leave of absence and burn through maybe $100k of it doing some real travel to many different places I've wanted to go.
With the other $900k, I'd invest in low cost mutual funds that really spread it around into different types of stocks, bonds, REITS, etc. Nothing fancy, just basic long term investing. |

I think about this questoin all the time. I would like to think that I would buy my close family members houses and give them some cash. Donate some to charity and the church. Buy myself a house, car, and evertything else that I needed. I would keep what I have left in the bank, finish school, and continue to work because that amount of money wouldn't last forever. |
