You mean, besides buying John Merrick's remains and fancy Dijon ketchup to go with the Kraft dinner?
Let's see...I'd pay off my student loans, pay off my parents' house, and buy myself a house or a condo. Then I guess I would save the rest and buy some mutual funds or similar lower-risk investments. |
Buy a house, buy my parents each a car. Invest the rest in the stock market. http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif Especially now that everything is so cheap.
|
Buy a nice simple house in New England, go back to school, buy a car, and some new clothes. Save and invest the rest.
Now if it were more $$$, I would buy a penthouse in NYC and a beach house in the Hamptons or on Martha's Vineyard! |
buy a house/condo. pay off my student loans. buy my brothers new cars. pay off my parents house.
that would exhaust it right there. but then I'd have no bills and could use my salary to travel and shop! http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif Amy [This message has been edited by amycat412 (edited March 23, 2001).] |

Well, I know that this is not the popular opinion, but since I'm always very adamant about this stuff I guess I should just go ahead.
I wouldn't want a million dollars. I think maybe half a million tops, but no more. My opinion has always been that large sums of money lead to nothin but trouble with family and friends. If I had a lot of money I'd always be worried that people were only friends with me cause of the money. I don't know. I know that it sounds goofy, nobody ever seems to understand why I wouldn't want a lot of money. But the thing is, I wouldn't mind a lot of money if I earned it over the years, I just would never want a large sum of money to be suddenly dumped in my lap. Probably part of this comes from the fact that I knew a family who won a LOT of money with the lottery. They built this absolutely gorgeous house with everything. (Trust me, I've been in it, and it really was a mansion.) Well, a few years later they filed for bankruptcy and their teenage daughter who I had known had committed suicide. There could be a lot of reasons for her suicide, but when I knew her she showed none of the signs. Anyway, that's just my opinion. (Not that I expect anyone to aggree with me! http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif) [This message has been edited by pbear19 (edited March 23, 2001).] |
A million dollars is not THAT much money. I don't think it's enough to destroy a life.
I think a million dollars in 2001 will be able to buy you a bunch of the things you always dreamed of having (cool car, wicked vacation, no more debts) and leave you with enough to get yourself a decent pad. It's just not a life altering amount of money any more, IMHO. I think people that get insanely rich really fast are only heading for disaster. I agree with you about the effects of insane amounts of money. But for a million dollars...I think it'll just make you a bit more comfy. Quote:

First I set up a trust fund for my two cousins (age 9 and 2) of 50,000 each so that they can use it for their college educations.
I'd pay off my student loans, save a little to invest and give the rest to my mother |

I know what I'd do! If I had a million a million dollars, and assuming rush goes well next semester, I'd buy my brothers a house.

I would pay off all my bills so I won't have collectors breathing down my neck. I would also change my phone number because you know all those distant relatives will come out of the woodworks. I would buy my mother a house, get myself a condo, put some in sound investments and take my entire family on a vacation.
P.S. I always wanted a monkey! http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/wink.gif |
I'd do the same as pretty much most of you...
Pay off the Credit Cards, renovate the house, buy my mom the Lexus of her choice, by the BF his Dodge Viper, and build a house for my chapter. If there's anything left I'd invest it wisely http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif ------------------ "Talk doesn't cook rice."--Someone smart Visit Alpha Gamma Delta-Delta Sigma chapter! |
Leslie,
I have to disagree... one million dollars is a lot of money. I think people these days dont really appreciate the value of money and take advantage of it. If i had a million dollars, I would invest it in several banks and live off the interest. I really think that if you invest the money well, you can practically live off of it for the rest of your life. If i had that kind of money, than yeah i would buy my parents, brother and i cars, go shopping, etc. but i wouldn't go to an extent of spending it all! Sure you could buy all these things and use all of the money up, but you shouldnt let money make you greedy like that. |
yuppppp BUcutie. auf Deutch Sie sind richtig!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If I had a million dollars...
Okay yall! This one goes out to all you Bare Naked Ladies fans!
I posted this question in my own forum but I thought I'd ask it here too! So, as the song goes... If I had a million dollars, I'd be rich. But what would you do with a Million Dollars? http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif ------------------ What do you get when you cross and Alpha Omicron Pi and a Sigma Phi Epsilon?
