What would you do if you recieve a million dollar?

[Deadly Envy]

Would it affect anything if you actually received it as a salary through long hard work vs receiving it by winning or inheriting it somehow?

If so, what would you do different for each?

[Mr Karl]

it would affect everything depending on how you got it

[Morning Glory]

how long and how much hard work?

let's say that I make in total earnings 10,000 dollars every year working for 65 years + another 20 years off of various retirement funds/investments created by that initial amount of money, and I live to be 100 years old.

well I would have made a million dollars, but when you break it down like that, most people would say that wasn't a whole lot of money, and you couldn't really leverage much out of it.

no way man, gimme the money so my lazy ass can retire today.

[Ajax Knucklebones]

Fuck long hard work. I try to avoid that everyday. Just give me my million now.

[keiko]

any job that would give up a million as a lump sum would either be very hard, or very degrading. If i could justify it I'd do it. I could really use the money.

I'd pay off my debts, buy a nice condo, and put the rest to work for me.

probably do the same if it was lotto winnings.
