| | Having just watched 'millions' about two boys who find a million, what would you do if you found a million? I guess the answer depends if you are a child or an adult, and of course your circumstances. And how would you spend it without drawing attention? Or perhaps getting attention is what you want? Today a million may be a lot or a little depending on your perspective and situation. Perhaps it woudl be the most fastest best computer ever? a very small rock on your finger, or an even small rock of an island (very small) or maybe just hoard in under the mattress (for those who can't trust the banks). |

if i "found" it, it would mean somebody has "lost" it.  perhaps i will first attempt to find out the person who has lost the million, then return it. of course, i'd be very careful to evaluate the identity of the claimant, if he or she really is the one who lost it. i will not be saying the exact amount, for one. i'll leave it to the claimant to say it so i can establish the fact. a million is a lot to lose, and i think it is not ethical to claim it as "finder's keepers" just because i found it, without even trying to know who owns it in the first place. it may be for some thing like medical expenses for which the million will be used by the owner, and i simply would want it returned. if after some time, the owner does not show up, or i have doubts as to the claimant, i may put it in a bank for safekeeping until the proper owner is established.  after a year, perhaps, that's when i'd even begin thinking of spending it for my own if all attempts at returning it fail.  first on my list would be a franchise for a business... i'd like the money to earn for itself. then from it, i can set aside the million thenafter (from profits) to donate to charity.  i'd still have the business, and the millions gets turned over for other worthy causes.

Well, I would buy myself a really nice car..like a lamborghini or something. And then I'd buy some new clothes & shoes and all that kind of stuff. I'd also give some money to my parents because they're helped me out all my life, so its the least I could do. I would donate some of the money to charity as well. A cause I really believe in..like PETA or something.

If i found a million dollars, I would simply buy myself a small home with some nice porperty. I would use the acres out back to ride my Motorcycle on. Also I would have a recording studio for a band. Thats about it, two things I really love in life, Motocross and Music.

I guess it depends on how I came across that million. If I just happened to find one lying on the street, I'd pick it up, walk a few paces outta sight and blt to a more secure location. See, it could very well be "marked" so I'd probably split it into different amounts and secure it. If I came across it purely by chance, I'd also probably circulate it before I put it in a bank; certainly wouldn't wanna be caught seemingly red-handed of a crime I've yet to commit. As to looking for the owner, I suppose I'd do so. That way, I'll know who to beware of and which guy to avoid running into. All the same, I'd get it in two or more bank accounts. I'd probably try my hand at a lending business, get a few tips and pointers from my mom. Most probably, though, I'd invest it on boys. Finding a partner or mate for life is a very tricky business, might I add

I would try to ask for whoever lost it, but as some said, it is hard to claim the owner of a particular amount of cash, considering someone can come up and try to "claim" that million. But if no-one claimed it, I'd prolly bank it, then buy myself a unit nearby the CBD, then invest some money into interest accounts (ie term deposits, or so forth).

I wouldn't go finding the person to give it back but if I knew whose it was I would. First I would give some to my mother, she's basically why I'm here so yeah, I owe my life to her. She would probably buy a small house, so no one would be suspicious and just live of that money and live a normal life but slighty richer.I wouldn't abuse the money nor would I ever tell anyone I won the lottery, it would ruin my life.

i guess i would first try to search the person who lost the money but if i had a million,i mean,if it was really mine i would buy a house,a car,nothing to big because i would like to save some money to make my dream real: i would buy land and build a king of an animal hotel but to colect lost and abandoned animals and take care of them and give them a really nice live with good conditions and lots of love because that is my biggest dream. I love animals and i hope some day i can have money enough to help all of those who have no home or are in bad conditions.

my favorite way to spend a million dollars is by buying every single 360 game, have 2 360's with HUGE t.v's so i can invite all my friends over and system link or go on xbox live and play agaisnt each other or other people. If i really found 1 million dollars i would probly save it in the bank for a while then when i get old i use it to have fun and travel or something. but i garentee i would use every single cent of that million dollars

This is a hard question since 1 million dollars really is not that much any more but it is a significant amount. I mean, you can easily live the rest of your life off of 1 million dollars but at the same time would not be able to get anything and everything you ever wanted. Therefore, i probably would just invest half of the money in a well known company that has been around a while and pays a decent dividend while putting the other half into CD or other savings account that pays a good percentage on it since at 5%, the 500,000 would pay 25,000 each year which would make life a ton more comfortable especially if you make a similar amound on the dividend. You could live an ok life without working. However, i would definitely still hold my job and really save a ton of the money so i could retire at like 40 and just golf or something

Well first I would try to find out who it belonged to. If I couldn't find that person, I would just buy myself a nice car, new clothes, and buy a house with a pool and backyard, with nice furniture, and a bunch of things I've always wanted, then donate the rest to charity (which would be a few thousand dollars). A million can go a looooooong way.

Surely no-one can be stupid enough not to keep a million in a secure place? Anyway, if i happened to come across 1 million simply lying around to be found, first thing's that come to mind would be "Is this a ploy or trick of some kind" or "why hasn't anyone found this before me? Does this mean the owner of the million cannot be far away?" Ideally, what i would want to do is take my finding and keep it for myself whilst muttering constantly to myself why i was so lucky. Then spend the rest of my life blinded by the amount of riches i came across one day. However, what i would do is try and find an effective way of finding the true owner of the money (yes some of you may be thinking why the hell i would do this). No matter how stupid the primary owner of the money was, think how you would feel if you lost 1 million? If i had this amount of money to spend as i wished, i would proberbly get a home abroad in the country or travel the world. One thing i wouldn't do is draw attention to myself. A fair percentage of people would prefer the attention/media from other people. For me, i'd like to keep it mostly to myself. I couldn't do with the hassle, and you may suddenly find yourself with an unusually large amount of 'friends'.

Hey, Cool topic man . Anyway The way I would spend the million is......By the way is it legal? If No then I would not use it but give it off some people who would desperately need it as it si no use giving to cops LOL. If it is legal then First I would drown myself in books and find a really good laptop, Rest of the money will go to banks,friends,charity works,Sending my mom and dad on a vacation, Me on a vacation;) , Pay all the pending bills and if there is still some cash left I would buy a really neat house, Has to be huge to keep my ocean of books at rest.  Cheers,  If you asked nice then even you guys would get some

theres SOOO many ways to spend a million dollars. First, i'd go buy myself a nice Lamborghini or Ferrari or two. Those are the nicest cars around, in my opinion. Then i'd buy my sister a nice either white or black range rover. 2nd, I would go on a very nice vacation to Los Angeles with my family. I've really been dying to go there for a VERY long time. I would also want to go to some other vacation spots .. possibly like Las Vegas. Plus, i'd like to stop by myrtle beach because i went there a couple years ago and I really enjoyed it over there. 3rd, i would help my parents pay off the mortgage on my house so that it would all be settled and the housed would be fully mine. I also think that thats the least i could do to help them out considering they've given me a place to stay and food to eat for all these years. 4th, i would give some money to help the animals because i truly believe that animal cruelty is disgusting. I'm 1000% against it and i would like to do something to help the animals, they cant speak .. therefore someone should speak for them.
