Let's say you got a flat million dollars after whatever the hell happened to it, before you received it.
You only get this money once, what would you do.
I would split 50% of the million, between family and friends, then start my own business. Hopefully I could keep a few hundred grand in the bank, with a bit of investing on the side.

Anuvver fing - when they do sumfing, they try to make it look like somfink else to confuse everybody. When one of them wants to lord it over the uvvers, 'e says "I'm very speshul so'z you gotta worship me", or "I know summink wot you lot don't know, so yer better lissen good". Da funny fing is, arf of 'em believe it and da over arf don't, so 'e 'as to hit 'em all anyway or run fer it.

I would split them up , and loan them out with 10% interest. After it raises to 3 mil , i'll go buy an apartment complex
and rent them all out.
And receive my monthly allowance.

Pay for college, first off (That s  t is expensive...) then, after I'm done, open up my own restaurant. Oh, and use a bit of it to build up my two 40k armies. I mean, as expensive as 40k is, building up a few armies would require a fraction of a mil

Hey LunaHound, I manage a 4 building complex and it kinda blows, yesterday I had a sewer backup and it flooded out two apartments. It took 7 hours to clear the blockage and get everything cleaned. That was just one day, then you have legal problems with unpaid rent, going after people for damages to the buildings, etc. There is also the daily maintenance like snow removal and cutting the grass. Plus you have to clean every apartment after people leave. Trust me, people do not take care of apartments...

People are like dice, a certain Frenchman said that. You throw yourself in the direction of your own choosing. People are free because they can do that. Everyone's circumstances are different, but no matter how small the choice, at the very least, you can throw yourself. It's not chance or fate. It's the choice you made. |

I'd stuff it away and use it for living/university. Then when I got out, the rest would be used to support me while I try to figure out how to make a video game that is actually good, as opposed to all the killy-killy same-same bullhonky that comes out every week.
I would also buy some awesome guitars and a large television.

In a Society in which there is no law, and in theory no compulsion, the only arbiter of behaviour is public opinion. But public opinion, because of the tremendous urge to conformity in gregarious animals, is less tolerant than any system of law. When human beings are governed by "thou shalt not", the individual can practise a certain amount of eccentricity: when they are supposedly governed by "love" or "reason", he is under continuous pressure to make him behave and think in exactly the same way as everyone else.
