What would be the first ten things that you bought/used the money for, and in what order?

1. Braces (preferably those plastic "Invisalign" ones)
2. Teeth whitening strips
3. a new car (my dad drives a 2012 Ford Taurus, and it's the most magnificently smooth car I've ever ridden in/driven, so I'd probably get one of those)
4. I'd pay off all my dad's & brother's bills
4. College money
5. A retirement fund
6. Everything on my Amazon Wishlist (it's quite long, with over 200 items)
7. A new car for my mom
8. A personal trainer (no one's ever "taught" me how to exercise per se, but I'd love to learn how)
9. Shares in some kind of profitable company (I know literally nothing about the stock market, so I'd probably have to invest in a stock broker's advice and/or Wall Street Kid for the NES)
10.Piano & vocal lessons

Honorable mentions go to expensive face cleansers (i.e. Proactiv) and/or a new vehicle for my brother.

I don't have any idea what I'd do with ten million dollars. I know I'd at least pay for my family's bills in full, and I would pay off all of my college stuff. Probably buy a small house and a new, reliable car. Lots of food. Some online goods.

I wonder how much it costs to buy a submersible.

I'd retire if I had $10 million dollars.

I'd buy Photoshop first of all. The rest will come organically.


I'm not a bad enough dude, but I am an edgy little shit. I'll do what I can.

1. New computer
2. New laptop
3. Kindle Fire
4. Probably get an apartment of my own/buy a small piece of land and build a small house on it
5. All the rest dumped into a retirement fund to let it grow, would probably not use it to live on until I'm actually ready to retire.

In no particular order, without fancy dot points since <ul> and <li> don't work, and BBcode lists are awful. Subject to change in the future, of course.

- More computers, maybe to replace the older computers I have lying around that consume too much power (after doing some quick checking, Mac Minis sound ideal)
- A copy of EarthBound, a SNES to play it on, and various EarthBound merchandise
- Money to put towards my education
- Money to put towards a really great car and house
- The rest will be stored away as retirement money, and/or emergency money if really bad things happen

Winner.

Anyway, I would pay off my debts, help my family out with theirs and then do absolutely nothing but live comfortably and write books.

I'd probably give most of it to the government. Not by choice of course.

Yeah I guess I should amend my list. The first thing I'd do would be buy a plane ticket elsewhere. Wink

I might just disregard the list I made and have a ten million dollar crack party instead.
