I really do not care a lot about things.

Money should not change a relationship, imo.

Money does not corrupt.

Many people are corrupt.

Period


I would take that money and me and my honey would travel to the strangest but most magical places on earth.

We would also build a beautiful log cabin out in the forest far far away...maybe in Tasmania


Alright Dave NZ...what would you do?

I would definitely donate a nice portion, but not 90%.
A recent news report spoke of Apple having their best year in the states, profits were through the roof. iPhone and iPad sales were crazy. During a supposed recession in which the whining during the political theater was endless. The base standard of living in this country is so high, expectations so high, I fear this economy will never recover. I could invest a million and pay for education and a vacation with interest to spare. I certainly would not just quit work and be a lazy ***, getting fat.

I seriously doubt it would change anything. I would would part it away in a self settled trust fund and use it as an extra source of income.
