The Million Dollar Question

What would you do if someone gave you a million dollars? A regular conversation starter and sometimes a conversation finisher is also an interesting question to answer. A million dollars today is not the same it was a century ago, and it will not be the same a century from today, but it is still a lot of money at any one given time. A million dollars also comes with a lot of responsibility and can often be overwhelming as often seen by lottery winners. I believe that if I had a million dollars I would save, spend, and donate within reason.

I would first save about a quarter of a million dollars for my future children's education including college as well as some possible traveling so that they are able to be exposed to life in other areas of the world. Spending some of that money would be next with the hopes that it will have an impact in other peoples lives through the system of economics. I would most likely improve my home and adopt another animal creating a loving home for a large family. I would also most likely try to go back to school if needed to further my career development and personal learning interest. Lastly I would donate a quarter of the money to multiple charities as I believe we as a generation can have a positive change in the world if we work together. The reality that life revolves around money is true, but with that money comes the ability to positively effect lives and create better opportunities for others. I do not know yet which charities I would give to but most likely they would involve animals, children, and those in the military. I hope that this will lead to a chain reaction and that we can make a difference in the world together!
