    Stick it in a high interest bank account and live my life normally till im about 40. By then the interest gained would be sufficient that I could retire at 40 and live out the remainder of my life comfortably.

    To be honest, one million dollars isn't a lot of money. Now - if you speak about these sums... Now you're talking.

    EDIT: And be reminded. This is in euros. converting it to dollars would give -A LOT- more money.

    I beg to differ. A million dollars is a great deal of money. If a situation or material object that is desired by a person to attain happiness cannot be attainted for one million dollars, the fault lies with the person, not the amount of money.

    Pay off my student loans, save enough to afford all my certification exams, then go nuts buying frivolous things. Or maybe a nice long vacation.

    I agree. I don't remember the dollar amount where more money doesn't correlate with more happiness, but I'm pretty sure the interest you could get from a million dollars is greater than that. And you'd either have a bunch more from your job or wouldn't be working...

    1 million dollars in the US, some parts of Europe and the poorer countries is a lot of money.
    The same amount however is peanuts in places like the big cities in the UK, where stuff is ridiculously expensive and a million dollars is barely 600k GBP

    in the eyes of anyone who is planning to become a millionaire, any sum of money over the 1,000$ mark is a lot of money.

    . . . I'd buy you a fur coat (but not a real fur coat: that's cruel).

    Buy a few cars, turn it in to a lottery. You'll get your million dollars back, with a little more.

    I would love to assemble a meeting of people around 20 year old who have a big dream, but doesn't have enough money to achieve it. I'll donate my million bucks to those with the best dreams and hopefully they go well and pay me back.

    Um, most of it would go in the bank or get invested but i would seperate enough to use on a trip to amsterdam and i would buy lots of weed and one of those safe hookers they have.

    i would bring my two cousins with me and buy them weed and hookers too.

    Do you hate Drug Cartels? Do You believe that the Drug War is basically a failure? Do you think that if we Legalized the Cannabis market, that use rates would drop, we could put age limits on cannabis, tax it, and other wise regulate it? Join The ORG Marijuana Policy Project!

    In American politics, similar to British politics, we have a choice between being shot in our left testicle or the right testicle. Both parties advocate pissing on the little guys, only in different ways and to a different little guy.

    Castles go for a million dollars there? I might consider not buying a flat in London but a castle in France in that case

    The house I'm in right now would be very close to 1 million. So if it was 1 million Pounds i'd be happier.
