I'd put it into a savings account and live for the rest of my life.

(1 million, at the 'average' rate of 6% per year nets out about 5k per month. More than I'm making now actually.)

I'd like to know where these guys are getting a 6% return on a savings account!!!!

But if I got a million dollars.... first thing I'd do is pay off all of my debts. Then I'd move right now to Michigan. Then I'd buy an uber car. Then I'd upgrade Kelveron's and my computers. Then we'd go somewhere totally cool.

And the other $900,000+ (well, okay, I'd probably only get about $500,000 after the US government got done with its extortion, so it would be more like $400,000+ left over now) would get split between an IRA, CD's, and investments. I guess with some stuck aside in a trust fund for the children I'd eventually have.

6% anual rate.... Hell, my checking account is like 1.5% anual interest if I keep over 1500 in there for a month.

Thats typical Texas rates. I use Wingspan and have a high return on just my checking account. Savings accounts range from 5% to 7.5% around here.

I like monkeys. The pet store was selling them for five cents apiece. I thought that odd since they were normally a couple thousand. I decided not to look a gift-horse in the mouth. I bought 200. I like monkeys.

I have that whole story, it's freaking hilarious. Every time i read it i can't stop laughing. I would also buy a house first off, put aside money for bills for said house, then dump it into one of the many many high Intrest gaining CDs around here.

If I had another million dollars, I would buy Peachis and Drysart, then put them in a cage in my secluded manor in england where Mort may also store his furry vixins as long as they don't look at my pets funny.

I would be an evil mastermind and never see another person outside of my large manor.

Nah, the military has some wacked out "official" word, but I can't for the life of me think of what it is... does start with an 's' though. My first supervisor at the shop where I'm at now managed to inherit 3 million, so he was only there a month after I got there.

Lucky bastard

First edit - Oh yeah, and add that one of the FIRST things I'd do is buy plane tickets to California so I could visit my Peachis and Drysart

Second edit - and then I'd MOVE there

I would spend it all on cheap booze, and give it away free to anyone local that wanted it.

That way, the local morons could drink themselves to death. Yah, I would be broke again, but it would be worth it to not have to put up with idiots every day.

I can't stand idiots. Maybe that's because I have to work with them?

Mostly joking, if you can't guess.
