    What would you do? Reason I ask is because designer are special breed of humans and would like to know your thoughts, seriously.

    And, yes I would consult a financial advisor first.

    I'd split it equally in three between my mum, sister and myself, donate some to causes I support from my portion, and use what's left to start a sustainable and personally rewarding business, where I can do what I love, make money from it and even provide jobs for others.

    • Great idea, but 1M isn't that muchfyoucher11/4
      It doesn't need to be. Just enough to get a small start, and grow at a decent rate.Continuity2/4
      Making sure my close family would share equally in my good fortune would be the most important for me, though.Continuity3/4
      agree with you there....I'd share mine with the family as well....exador14/4

    It wouldn't be enough.

    I read recently a human being to be "happy" needed about $75,000/yr avg. I remember something about $5 million over the course of a lifetime is needed.

    Pay off debt to avoid unneeded interest and continue working.

    $1M isn't a lot of money, first of all. You would not, repeat would not be able to quit your day job, if you were young and live off of that the rest of your life.

    Yes, pay off all of your debt, purchase a reasonably priced home or flat at about $300K, invest the rest of it in energy stocks, keep your day job. Maybe take a nice vacation somewhere.

    But seriously, I'd invest it. Work until I was 50 and then retire early, comfortably.

    I'm comfortable $ wise as-is so I'd put 30k into a college fund for each of my three nieces and nephews who are 4, 6 and 6. I'd give 50k to my parents, my sister's family and my brother-in-laws family to pay off their cars, credit cards and what not. The rest I would invest so that I could retire at a young age and spend more time with my family.

    • you are comfortable so you'd give your parents 5%? lawleficks1/3
      they wouldn't want anymore than that as they'd literally make me keep it for our kids future use.sigg2/3

    I'd stay the same person I am now.

    I'd still bitch about the same shit, still want more than I need, and still think if I just had even more money, I'd be happy.
