    If you have $1M to spend in one day. What will you do with it?

    Investments. Boring, I know, but 1 million isn't enough these days. You need more to retire.

    Are there any rules?

    If not, I would first buy some negotiable item worth $1million, then spend the rest slowly over the next N years!

    If this is a Brewster's Millions question, then I could always by a million pixels from someone!

    I'd probably launch an advertising campaign to double the earnings spent.

    I'd invest $250,000 into income funds to generate roughly $2000 in monthly income for me to live off of.

    I would spend $400,000 on a decent size home for my family.

    $25,000 to pay off exsiting debt.

    $25,000 to go on a trip to vegas :)

    $100,000 to go to Vancouver Women's and Children's Hospital (it's a hospital specialize in women/infant care here. It's the best in the country and they helped my family on more than one occasion).

    $100,000 to revinest into my business activites.

    $50,000 to invest in various education savings programs for my daughter.

    $25,000 to my wife to do whatever the hell she wants with it.

    $25,000 to buy a mansion in some 3rd world country in europe so my family can travel there every year and explore europe for a month.

    The original question asked if we had $1M to spend what would we do, it never mentioned tax so I assumed it was post-tax. Otherwise I'd only have $450,000 (damn canadian taxes lol) :(

    That's exactly what I would do, except that 1 mill would be a bit too much, i would do some math and buy at least , I think, only 1,000$ in scratch offs, if the prizes suck, I would do some more math for the picking numbers and buy tickets with every number order possible... 100,000$? :S
