I don't think you could buy an island for 1 million. I'd pay for the rest of my college, and probably get a ps3 and some other electronic stuff, then save the rest of it.

I'd invest alot of it, or put it in the bank to accrue interest. However, I would use a chunk of it to buy a Lamborghini.

I'd pay for my tuition then save the rest (mostly via investment), occasionally taking out small amounts here and there to pay for minor expenses like songs and video games.

Buy a car and my own place. Then I'd buy a few things for myself and then put the rest away so it can build interest.

It makes her happy, that's what matters most :P

I'm going to profit anyway, it's not like she would eat those money.

If you are with someone that is only happy because of the money you give them, that is a horrible relationship that will never go anywhere.

Oh, it's far from that. I just think it would be an awesome surprise to give her the check. We never had too much money anyway, it would certainly fulfill some of our childish fantasies. Like going to Disneyland:oops:

I'd spend 100,000 on a party and hand-outs. 100,000 dollars on paying of my school loans and other debts, a car, unnecessary tech and some traveling. And I put the remaining 800,000 dollars in a fund, collecting an interest of about 40,000 dollars every year... hopefully.

Use40% on the money on Gold bars, 40% on an apartment, the rest would be used to pay for my student loan and living expenses.

Why? Inflation would shrink the real value of your money pretty fast, only the last 10 years, the price of gold has increased by 3.7 times, which is a good estimate for how inflation has been the last decade, and considering all the stimulus plans and gov. spending the inflation won't really slow down, quite the opposite in fact.

Put ~$200,000 in the bank, give the rest to charity.

Edit: Or use the rest to set up my own political party or set up a charity organization ^^

That's why you never take out the entire interest... to counter the inflation.

Still the interest wouldn't counter the inflation, if you had put 1 mill dollar in the bank in 99, the buying power of that money today would still have been more than halfed even if you didn't touch the money.

Assuming you chose a fund/company/guy who really sucks at investing your money. The inflation won't go on forever and it hasn't been as bad as it is today in all the years since 1999... who knows, maybe the people I choose to entrust this money to WILL buy gold with it... or maybe they'll buy some stocks of Hewlett-Packard which has been growing steadily this decade with a rate of 20%... I don't want to retire on this money, I'll take the risks and if the value decreases then I'll take the hit... I wouldn't quit school or my chance of a good-paying day-job because I have a million dollars anyway. PS. It's feels weird to talk about money I don't have like this :P

I probably would use it to pay myself through College. Get a decent Single Family House, One Mercedes Benz, One Toyota, One BMW, and another Toyota but a Pickup. Then buy some video games and entrainment center. And Probably spend half of what I have left in gold. and the other half goes into a bank....But I would only put $100,000 in the bank. The rest of the money would be somewhere hidden from everyone.
