If given $1 million, what would be your first purchase?

I’d go ahead and build the Willys pickup that’s been sitting there in the yard, mocking me.

The rest? I’d get a Whopper junior meal (#7)
 

It would be tickets to Cairo, Egypt to see the Pyramids. Since I was a kid, it's been my dream to see and touch the Pyramids. I'm alive, so there's always hope that I still can. My other boyhood dream was to stand in Times Square for the year, 2000. And I did. I guess I'm not imaginative or something, because those are the only two great things I wanted to do, since I was a kid.
 
Donate it to the best food bank I could find. Actually, these days $1 million is not that much money. It wouldn't even buy an average home in some locations.

If it was more like $1 billion, I'd establish a disease-fighting foundation, similar to what Bill and Melinda Gates have done. Or maybe a foundation to provide free college tuition to every kid who needs it.
 
I feel very fortunate that I've been to so many of the places in Europe that many are wishing they could visit...... Egypt, Israel , Italy etc....


is it very expensive to travel from the USA to Europe?
 
I'd like to build a new home, but hubs would never move out of this one. So maybe a remodel? Nah, he wouldn't go for that either. So definitely a new car, maybe a condo on a lake.

It was a dream of mine to ride a camel around the pyramids. Since I can't stand flying, anymore, and don't like the political climate abroad, I won't be knocking out that goal, in this incarnation.
 
I love that idea! I would like to also buy and pay off an annuity so as to continually bring in more money with the option to help out in community needs, like homeless, needs at the local pet center, etc.
 
Ruth n Jersey pay for animals that are in need of surgery. I'm to old to have a pet at this point but I'd do as much as I can for an animal in need. Maybe have a little dog or cat rehab center.[/QUOTE said:

Makes the most sense only because the taxes on getting a million leave most with less than 1/2 million. As an income @ 50k a year in 10 years that would be depleted. Even faster if "wants" were fulfilled. Investing in ones home like needed renovations or living mortgage free if they are going to live in it until they die seems like a solid idea. Investing in income producing remaining funds should make living in the senior years a lot more comfortable.
