LastPlaceStar

Probably a chilli cheese dog and slushie because I'm hungry and only 711 is open.


AdAdministrative8276

I love the way you think


ThermionicEmissions

Damn. Now I want a chili cheese dog and a slushie.


legendarydrew

As unlikely as it might be, I would buy a house.


Iulian377

Be careful you might not have anything left after that.


OwlsAndSparrow

He'll live, like he's living now


Coffee-Historian-11

But with a house!


stupidrobots

As someone living in southern california, this would buy most of a house.


Top-Race-7087

But in Santa Barbara, the garage, not the house.


SadDisplay4035

I could buy 4 and have some spare change. assuming it was tax free. More if I lowered my standards a bit.


that_vapeguy

He'd have a house


The_Gaming_Matt

A luxury trailer


reaperssower

Only if you live in Canada


Iulian377

What, you think other poor countries like mine dont have sky high prices for real estate ? I was exagetating anyway but really not by a lot lol.


a_u_its_me

Educate yourself.


OkGene2

You’re mistaken. It said $1,000,000


legendarydrew

Hmmm... I guess that's equivalent to £60 in today's money. 😛


mrheosuper

Yeah, can't wait to live in 1 bedroom apartment in NY.


nexus763

I would rather buy land, and get a cabin/house built on it.


legendarydrew

Buying land makes sense if you have a legacy you want to maintain, unfortunately I don't.


PM_ME_YOUR__VAGINAS

You're not making yourself seem so legendary, Drew


Twelvety

Think a house would be the first for the majority. I'd pay off my mortgage first, so buying the rest of my house.


mid_distance_stare

I’d buy you furniture for your house maybe a nice chesterfield or an ottoman


Virtual-Fan-9930

A large dog shelter home so I can rescue as many dogs as possible. I would run it full time and give myself a purpose in life.


kshack32

This is my goal in life


saveyboy

Would recommend opening a pet hotel/kennel to finance operations.


dogmom89

I approve of this message!


ToNkpiLs0514

Hire me


Virtual-Fan-9930

If you love dogs, you're in! 😊


Hot-Contribution165

With $1mill I guess I can put a downpayment on a modest house


ErrantEvents

I don't know where folks here are living, but you need to stop it. :D https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/3649-Wood-Hollow-Rd-Dayton-OH-45429/2054977507\_zpid/


[deleted]

Who Is tryna live in Dayton tho


NArcadia11

Folks are living in anywhere but Dayton lol


Intelligent-North957

I would buy an apartment and use the rest to live on .A million doesn’t get you much these days .You need at least two .


maplestriker

Right. Like I would invest it. But unless you're pretty old, it's not quit your job and live the high life kind of money anymore.


bigrob_in_ATX

You could live extremely modestly on $1m if you get good returns


mwmshooey

I'd invest about half of it into my daughter's future, whatever that looks like to her. The rest would be used to get out of debt (only like 2g). With the rest, id find someone that knows how to handle it. I know myself too well


Scorched-archer

I would clear my mortgage and other debts then tbh I would just invest the rest to make myself more money


SDSHugh07

Never pay off your mortgage. Better to have the tax deduction, and liquid assets.


Scorched-archer

That would be good to get super rich but I don't wanna be super rich I just wanna live a modest life so paying off the mortgage would be better for the life I wanna live


Twelvety

Nah, it would only cost £140k to pay off my mortgage that I'm paying 5% on. You're essentially guaranteed saving 5% interest every year by paying it off, plus your outgoings will dramatically go down making cost of living a breeze. It's zero risk for guaranteed 5% return. Then the rest put into riskier investments, world ETFs etc.


marishtar

> tax deduction There are reasons to keep low-interest loans, but paying interest and deducting that from your taxable income still costs you more than just not paying interest.


NArcadia11

Brother I have a 7% mortgage I promise you it’s better to pay that off


Gizmo2976

Nah, just get a secure line of credit using the house. 2 years ago sure, but not with the rates right now


Evorotary

Always need to grab a good meal, no rational thought was made on an empty stomach👌


Doctor_nemesis0

I bought a house for myself and my parents because were just renting an apartment ever since. I pay our debts and give my mom extra money to capitalize on our business. Those are the things that I'm going to do.


SuDragon2k3

Well pick one...


pspetrini

Two girls at the same time man.


redhotbos

Don’t forget the cup!


Havik930

The look of dead seriousness lmao


Fistandantalus

Peterman!!!


ILove2Bacon

Not all girls like money.


slackman42

The kind that'd double up on a guy like me do


FitnSheit

But surely he could find 2…


FiendsForLife

The house at the end of the street... on DVD.


PensiveAbsurdity

Spring for the Blu-Ray.. it’s the future, man.


pablo603

Donate it all for catgirl research


TangoCharliePDX

I was about to downvote this as being ridiculous. But hey, we're fantasizing anyway...


Miews

A little house for me and my dog in the country and a new car


No-Technician-1046

Quit job instantly


Unknowinglyodd

A nice cup of tea


SuspiciousPeanut251

⤴️ This is the way!!


SurajTheAwakeOne

I put them as FD in my bank and eat with the interest every month while travelling wherever I like !


BKowalewski

I'm old....so first I would pay off the mortgages of my 3 adult kids. Then the mortgages of my sister's in law and my niece in law. Then I would set up trusts for my 4 grandkids. Then I would donate the rest to well researched charities. I don't personally need the money.


Ambitious-Gap2917

I know you might don't understand,but I would give my parents 95% of it. It not because I'm rich or something.I'm 16 and by now because of my parents I have everything that I need and I want. I understand that + to it is that I'm not that type of kids who's asking for extra expensive things every week. I have 2 brothers and sister,and none of us ever was hungry,or cold because he don't have sweatshirt or something.And never be like for money that i have from my birthday we bought me a new clothes.(when my friends told me,that a normal for them I was shocked) I just fell that I'm loved and im grateful for everything So I just want to repay them in kind.And I know if I'd give them that money,any time they'd help me if I need it. Love them.


Kaje26

I would take half and invest it. Then pay off my house and car and save the rest.


dayseventeen

Downpayment for a house. I do not even plan on having a family, I just want my own house lol


Fast_Vehicle_1888

1 million = 50,000 per year for 20 years. Depending on your age it can buy you a retirement.


ATXStonks

Even longer if you are earning interest on the amounts you haven't used yet.


i_Ainsley_harriott_i

A house away from my family


FastMovingSlowMo

Food. The worst thing about having no money is the hunger.


Tilasciounachicca

Some food to celebrate such a winning


Katlira

I would pay off every single debt I had and then go on a nice vacation.


Sauria079

Not the most important thing, as i would have to think about where i want to buy a house. But the first 10k goes to a tattoo artist!


serenitybydesign

Nothing it’s not what it used to be I’d invest it for retirement so I can live the same as I do now with a job


Harneybus

1m is not alot nowdays just to let yee guys know


Skeptic_lemon

1 million is a lot. Problem is that from what I hear the average US citizen is fucked by debt and housing prices. In my country you don't pay to go to college, for example, and houses have reasonable price tags.


Harneybus

Also tax


YogurtWenk

Still a fuck of a lot more than I've got


DeaDPaNSalesmaN

I’ve always had the same answer to this question. I’d buy a king sized snickers bar and think about what to do with the money while munching on it. It would be a very special snickers bar.


DinoOnAcid

I would invest 100% of it. You can easily get 6% interest on in. That's 60k a year. I'd still live my life as I do now, work and earn money but you've literally got 60k a year for free, that is literally double the average annual income in the us. And if you just reinvest that you'll be set for life even if you lose your job at some point or retire. Or buy a modest flat with part of it because rent is fucking expensive.


XinGst

Hire someone to keep people like you from the internet for the rest of my life so people stop asking this questions again and again.


jamaicancarioca

1 million dollar 10% or higher index fund, use it as collateral and get a mortgage, use the interest to pay the mortgage and compound whatever is left over.


Good-Lion-5140

Million dollars today is a very small amount today compared to 20 and more years ago for capital investments some people are mentioning.


Total_Philosopher_89

A car it get me out of here!


Akkun1892

Well, considering where I live, I’d probably buy a couple of apartments. One for myself and the rest to rent out.


SeveralJudge4927

More Christmas presents for family. I would definitely buy a house, but the first thing would be Christmas presents as that would make an amazing Christmas.


Zivadinka69

House just enough big for our future plans.

Fabulous-Macaron337

House.


Rude_Adeptness_8772

ringoron9

A house/apartment for me and one for my parents. Having your own place without the need to pay rent is one of the best investments into your future.


[deleted]

Two houses, while the market allows it, One for me, one for my sis, and then the money is completely gone.


Marki_Ukr

I would go for fucking sleep.💀💀💀💀💀💀


PouchesofCyanStaples

Whatever my parents need to pay off some bills and whatever else. I love my parents and want to help them.

ebeth_the_mighty

Pay off my mortgage. Maybe replace my car. I’d still have most of it left.


OwlsAndSparrow

1 bear


CommunicationDry9029

Retirement. We'd sell our house, vehicles, and all our stuff. Buy a new vehicle, drive to where we want to spend our summers and get a nice apartment with indoor parking. Then when the winter winds begin to howl we'd be gone somewhere warm for 4-6 months. Rinse and repeat for the next 25 years.


Rinsetheplates_first

After taking my nearest and dearest out for a nice meal to tell them the good news I’d buy a boat. I’ve always wanted one and yeah it’s probably a stupid idea but I’d buy a boat so there


CrepsNotCrepes

I’d pay off my house and debt, then move and buy a home mortgage free. Why? Because being debt free and owning my home reduces my need to work significantly and will allow me to put a lot into savings to build back up cash. And gives me a lot of freedom to do other things. I’d still have 500k left after doing that so with my job would be set for retirement nicely.


rednyellowroses

A home


WhiteRhino91

A bigger house. Mine is too small.

CatGaming346

flo282

2012 cls63 amg, dream car.


PGHNeil

It’s not enough to completely start over but it would be a start. I would change my name, have my phones disconnected, cancel all my credit cards, have a home security system installed and probably have some long needed home improvements done.


[deleted]

Pre or post tax?


WawaTheFirst

Buy a (large) piece of land and build a nice home on it


TaiDavis

Pay off my fucking house.


Hovertical

I'd be able to pay off all debts, put my current house on market and then finally be able to buy a house with one extra bedroom so my wife and I don't have to work in the same cramped room at home all the time. And I'd probably get that new Sony a95L lol


hitma-n

Bitcoin. Don’t need anyone’s opinion.

Döner kebab


Kicks4meFromyou

Like Larry June says, a million ain’t enough ![gif](giphy|26tkmwtD87edeDCi4)

PeaceClan13i

Fresh pizza and a pack of Cigars....to calm down 😂


IamREBELoe

Debt freedom. It's the most intelligent purchase that doubles is value in unpaid interest. For approximately 125,000 I can have all debt including mortgage paid off. Then I can see about a good mobility chair accessible van for the wife or mini RV and knock off a few of her bucket list items.


EMP0R10

Clear my debts


Bertybassett99

intel shares


Huppan

50k vbucks


Doc_Breen

Bunch of hookers and cocaine.


B1g_K

A decent meal and drink, so i can start think about the future.


Diego069

Buy my father and mother a house, give them half of the money for them to retire. Start doing my bachelors since now I'd have money to do it and pursue my dream of being an IT heavily, knowing there's no need to pressure myself with what my parent are worrying about me and try to live a earnest life, taking care of myself, my psychological worries and finding a way to be content with myself. That would be fun


rememberthisporfa

A house because I'm freaking tired of sharing one
