Post; What would u do with 10 million dollars?


Id buy a house, car, go college, and retire.

The reason i didnt ask "What would u do with a million dollars?" is cause the most u can do with a million in southern california is buy a three bedroom house. kinda sad huh?

The college thing I've done, paid for...BS in Business Management. Read this post and you'll understand hahahaha. Home is taken care of, as well as a car. Combined, my g/f and I have enough to live very, very comfortably, so I wouldn't actually blow more than $1m. But here we go...

I'd take around $5,000,000 and invest it in different mutual funds, stocks, securities and such. My current stock broker would like that lemmie tell you now.....

$2m goes to my church and to my CAP unit. 1.5 for church, 500,000 for CAP.

$1m goes to buying/ starting a few businesses with high returns (car washes, storage bldgs, oil change places, and real estate), and buying property in different locations.

Around $1m to sit in a 10 year CD or Swiss savings account for emergencies.

$1m goes to a checking account ensuring that we're never in debt for the rest of our lives.

$1m goes to :2 houses (one home and a vacation place on my g/f's 40 acres 65 miles away from our current home)
A little goes into making the Mustang at least 500hp
A truck for me- Ford or Dodge, new or used...Doesn't matter to me
His and hers Mercedes for my g/f and I (S class for her, E class for me)
Possibly a Porsche 911 Turbo
A few guns

With $10m, if you play it right, you'd never have to "work" a day in your life, and the interest compounded off that savings account would allow anyone to live very nicely. Plus, the $5m in the right places in the market would skyrocket.

I'd still make the Army a career, just be the richest dang 2nd Lieutenant in history.

Haha I know exactly what you mean about houses in Southern CA.

I would invest. Might be being greedy but I prefer to think of it as helping the economy lol. I also would give to select charities and organizations (like the NRA and war victim funds I suppose).

And of course I would buy GUNS!!! i'm saving up for a .22 (dad says i should start with that) so anyone who wants to donate 10 million bucks, feel free.

$1 Million to my church stick enough in the bank for paying off college, cars, house, and wedding. The rest would go to charity. I have no need to hold onto that much money.

I'd put most of it in savings and live off the interest (Once I retire from the Army that is). Then I would donate my Army Retirement $$$ to chairity. I'd probably buy a new ranch, maybe a 1,000 acre spread. Nothing too big.
