What would you do? Today’s Powerball lottery is at $252 million. If won, the lump sum after taxes would be well over $80 million.
So my question is simple. What would you do with the money?
Spend it? Save it? Give it away?
How would you live your life differently than you are now?
Would you be more generous to charities? Would you spend more time focusing on certain goals or issues?
Please leave feedback below. I’d love to hear your responses. I’ll be posting mine later.
Man! i would go to North Africa for 4 years and raise a little support for my fifth year…
You know my choice.
10% of it would be tithed
I'd give 80% of whatever is left to charities, probably all having something to do with children.
Pay off all of my debts
Buy some things that I've been wanting. New camera, iTouch, iPhone for Verizon when it comes out, some more professional clothing.
Put the rest in savings.
Bryn, you put me to shame.
My plan has always been to give 50% away to churches and charitable organizations.
I'd use the other 50% to help pay off family mortgages, college, etc.
Finally, I'd invest into new business and non profit startups following in the footsteps of TOMS Shoes and RestoreNYC.
Also, I'd probably buy a plot of land and build a custom house that is not too big and completely eco friendly. And of course I'd travel everywhere.
