me? i would make sure i go to the  BEST college, that i have THE appartment while i study and then i'd start building myself the house of my dreams wherever i want! after that, if there's anything left, i'd spend some on shopping things i can't buy now and some i'd try to invest so i'll always have a source of income.\n\nthen again , maybe not! i'm too young to do all that. let my folks do it! it's their responsibility anyways! yep! i'd prolly just squander it all on trips, clubs and shopping!

I would buy an apt complex, then offer apt. to the homeless, then they would have an address and could get employment. I would buy kits for doing hand molds and donate them to hospitals, that when when a family looses a child or teen they could have a mold of their childs hand to keep. I would buy equal numbers of the book Grieving The Pain and the Promise to give to each of those families so they would know that it's OK to grieve and mourn. Then I would buy hundreds of these lap harps that my children love with the music to go with to donate to childrens hospitals. These lap harps are so easy to play but they sound beautiful and kids love them. It would give sick and dying children something magical and fun. I would donate some to organ donation and transplantation, some to cancer research.\nI would buy space on billboards and warn people about the risk of drowsy driving and how it kills. I would petition Washington and try to get a law passed that made auto companies put window glazing in all SUV and high rollover risk vehicles to prevent other families from going through what we went through. Boy it could be alot of fun just to be able to do things for people and brighten someones day.\nI've always thought it would be fun to mail hundred dollar bills to people randomly from a phone book. Could you imagine what it would be like to get 100.00 in the mail when your not expecting it. That would be fun too.

You could mow lawns, baby sit, car wash, collect stuff from neighbors/friends/family and sale it, ask your family for a little cash but make sure that you put some of what they give you into the bank just to make them happy that you know how to spend and save your cash, sell lemonade, walk dogs, take care of pets while their homeowners are away, take care of the mail and homes while the homeowners are away (just don't actually take or touch anything your not supposed to ask first what you can do or help with around the home of the person that is leaving for a little while).

I would first off give some of it my family as they have helped me out through the years, then my friends and pay them back if I ever owed them anything, then I would take the rest, construct a farm where I could save animals. I would start out with dogs cause I love dogs so much.\n\nThanks for the question!!

tithing, pay off my student loan and other debts, buy a handicapped equipped home and vehicle I can drive, put money in a trust for my nephew (we have no kids), give money to a few charities and a few local community service groups so they can continue to help others... and take care of my family and my husband and me...

I would put half into a savings account to live off of. New car, new house, you know.\n\nI would donate a million to Lukemia research.\n\nI would open a feral cat sanctuary... get them all spayed and neutered with shots, and let them live out their lives in peace. Pay a few kids to go in daily to clean litter boxes and give food and water.\n\nI would go traveling... I would go see stone henge, the galapagos, soda lake, the great wall, easter island, the mayan ruins...

You can invest it in many different things. Bonds, stocks, mutual funds, CD's, T-bill, gold, silver, land, rare coins, art, antiques, baseball cards, to name just a few. \n\nIt would be perhaps better to ask, "How would you invest $10,000?"  At least that way you would get different points of view. \n\nIf all I had was $10,000 to invest and I did not have any outstanding debts to be paid off, I would put $3000 in oil stocks, $3000 in a mutual fund investing in China, and $4000 in T-bills or a mutual fund investing in foreign debt because the dollar is not a healthy place to be right now.

Depends on what millions you are talking about. If you're  talking about money, I'll invest half of it and a quarter of it to charity and the other quarter to my hubby and daughter.And if you're talking about millions of other stuff i.e. houses, candy bars, sweets I'll probably give them away to orphans.Cheers!

I would buy a big house, at least five bedrooms, pay off all of my families debt's (loans, credit cards, cars, mortages, etc). And makes sure all of my family (adults) have their own home.\n\nExpand my business - offer free training to residents of Doncaster, in Playwork, Childcare, First Aid and first level Management.\n\nI would set up a charity in my name to provide grants to provide more play opportunities for children throughout the UK.\n\nI would open a FREE adventure Playground in Doncaster.\n\nI would invest in horses, football clubs and other leisure type industuries.\n\nI would create businesses for my brother and three sisters and offer other family members the opportunity to work in them or my own business. \n\nI would set a side enough money to have a decent income each month just from the savings.\n\nBut firstly, I would take out adverts in the local papers, on the local TV/radio stations, affirming my support for the directly elected mayor of Doncaster and urge people to fill in the post cards (would send to all homes in the Doncaster borough) and send them back FREEPOST stating their support for the Mayor.\n\nI would also set a side enough money for my parents when they retire to do as they wish.

What a fun question to answer!  I'd pay off my mortgage and buy my wife a new car.  More?  I'd self-publish my novels and quit my job. Then my wife and I would go from book store to book store to peddle them with book readings.  More?  I like the above answer: a house on every continent (except Antarctica--I could buy a house in Argentina or Tasmania and just visit Antarctica on occasion.)  More?  I guess I should do something charitable, but I don't feel like I could trust one charity with very much money.  Maybe I'd do like movie stars do and start my own charity and hire my own relatives to distribute the money.  More?  End world hunger, find a cure for terminal diseases.  Oh please these are getting ridiculous....

10 million dollars. Heck, everyone would love me then.\nHeck, if they didn't love me, I wouldn't know anyway.

First of all buy a new flat or house with more room. then I'd buy the flat I'm renting now so that hubby has somewhere to live.....!\nOnce settled, I'd go to the nearest Aston Martin showroom and buy me a DB9.\nI'd let my kids have a day in Hamleys toyshop to buy absolutely anything they wanted (apart from the thirty foot giraffe in the cuddly toy section. Where the hell would they put it?).\nI'd make sure my family were all furnished with enough money to cover everything for the rest of their lives.\nFinally I would make large donations to Great Ormond Street hospital, Leeds Air Ambulance and my childrens school.

Then I would make sure my stepchildren and grandchild had money for college or there first house ( they have to pick one or the other) If I still had more days left then I would donate to the battered women shelters, red cross and diaster relief.

I would buy a house. I would do this because I would love to own my own home and would make sure it is medium size( nothing fancy) with lots of trees and maybe a big yard that I could let my dogs run free in.
