Winning $1 million

If I had a million dollars I would probably try to be smart with it. I would save most of it, try to invest some and spend some.



I would probably wait until I graduated to make any major purchases. The first thing I would buy would most likely be a car just because I would have the money to do it and you seem really impressive if you have a nice car. After that I would probably just buy anything that looked necessary (sports equipment, clothes, etc).



I would then try to invest some money to make it work for me, so that I could have it available in the future for when I would need to buy a house and support a family. Also, I would put to use in helping pay for my education.



I would probably give some to my parents to help pay for the house that is currently being built and probably a small portion to my brother just because I would feel that I would have to.



Overall, I think that winning that much money might not be the most fantastic thing in the world because it isn't really enough for you to throw it around as much as you want to and you would have to manage it carefully in order to keep yourself out of debt.
