If you were suddenly a millionaire, what would you do with your money? Careful, your answer shows the kind of person you are!  |

Russki..that is not a reasonable poll, but I would say that I would donate some to a childrens orphanage and pay off my college loans and buy me a reasonable house so that I would not have to pay rent. Help out a neighbor. In the US a million dollars is not alot of money and half of it goes to taxes, so if you need a little money like I do then you better pay off the bills first before you do anything.... |

| Problem is...most charities are fairly corrupt and the money only a small percentage of it get's used. Also A million dollars is not enough to get a mansion etc and definitely won't buy an oil field. Now the money would throw a pretty good party. So I would use some of it for that...some would go towards certain select charities. Some would get invested and yes maybe not a mansion or a yaght...but certainly a modest car and house would be appropriate. I think though really I would invest it all first and use the interest to fund the house car etc. Gotta make your money grow and work for you |

I would donate money...the poll is a little bias towards women. Why would women pay to buy other women for a million? Doesn't make sense. |

Okay, women can say they buy men then. Unless they are Tila Tequila, who takes offence at being called "straight"...  |

I haven't seen the show, but I saw him while reading one of those gossip websites. Evidently he was recently arrested for sexually assaulting a women. When asked about it, he said, "I already slept with that girl, so it's strange she would say I touched her inappropriately". He also spent 6 months on Rikers, too, so he's a real gem! |

A cool million, eh? I've actually been thinking about this exact question for a little while now.
First and foremost, pay off all debt--credit cards and student loans. Being in debt is being enslaved. Then give generous portions to family members and donate (with caution) to a medical foundation of my choice (like cancer, AIDS research). Buy a new vehicle, but only one that is modest and reliable. My '93 Escort is entering the twlight of it's life. Invest in some real estate, foreign and domestic. Expatriate and travel abroad for a while. |

Well, I don't mean that Russki is like that guy in real life, but when I see that guy and when he talks about Russia it reminds me of Russki in the forum room..just passionate about Russia...I didn't know he assaulted a girl and spent six months on Rikers...  |

Yeah, I saw he was Russian (Andre Birleanu is his name) and being curious about his background, I Googled him and copious news stories came up about him. Yes, I sometimes have a lot of time on my hands at work and although it may be of more use to read up on history or current events, I gravitate towards gossip |
