So, I am flying from Org to Un'goro crater, which means I have about 10 minutes to let my mind wonder. This time, I started to think about how I would spend 50 million dollars. I remember when I was a kid and that question usually was how would you spend 1 million dollars, but in all honesty 1 million does not go as far as it did 2o or so years ago. So, this is what I was thinking...
$500,000 to my parents
$500,000 to Steven's (my partner) grandparents
$10,000 to each of our siblings (I have 2 younger sibs and he has 2 younger half sibs so thats 40,000 right there)
$10,000 for his step-dad
$50,000 for his mom
====so far that is $1,100,000
$900,000 to go towards a house
====2,000,000 spent so far
$75,000 to get his and hers VW Jettas (one of our fav cars) suped out, sound system, luxory addons etc
15,000 for Steven and I to go on a VK, I know he reallty wants to go to the UK
====2,100,000 spent
$7,000 to give to Steven to get me a ring with a BIG diamond on it
$43,000 to go to various charities and organizations
$50,000 to pay off our debt and to help alleviate debt of some of our friends
====2,200,000
$800,000 to have in our account for us to spend on whatever we god damn feel like
$47,000,000 would go into a savings account and we could live off interest for the rest of our life
How would you spend 50,000,000?

If i had 50 Million dollars this is what I would do with it:
• Bring the rest of my family over from New Zealand and get them a house and all the furnishings they want, including Televisions, BOOKS! (my Great Aunt Judy can only read 3rd Grade Level Material), cars, anything they wanted. Upto a 1 million.
• I would then offer them an education, and get my brother through the rest of his highschool career and college. Approx. $150,000 at the most.
• I would then get myself a house, a $300,000 house in my area can get you a 5 bedroom house with a full basement, 2 car garage, a pool, and many other things.
• I would get my boyfriend to move in with me and pay for his education as well, and would insist on my best friend doing the same thing. Maybe Another $250,000 dollars in case they both want to get 8 year degrees.
• I would get my mom a house, most likely a bit cheaper then mine, $250,000.
(Thats: just under 2 million)
• I would get my brother a car, up to $20,000 (he'll be turning 16 this year and i don't want to get him a really expensive car and them him reck it.)
• I would get my mom a WORKING car, up to $50,000.
• My boyfriend and my best friend would also get new cars, each up to $50,000. $100,000 total.
• I would also get me a new car, and it would probably be really expensive, so maybe $70,000. Either that or i would get a cheap car and upgrade it the way i want.
(Thats: 2,240,000)
After aiding my family, my friends, and myself, i would then go to other things.
• I would build a better animal shelter, the area that i live in has a few but there are way more animals then they can handle and because of that they also have less than appealing enviroments. So i would spend a total of $500,000 to renovate local shelters, and open my own.
• I would help fund for new and improved ways of fuel, expecially turbine technology which can be used in cars, in factories, in homes, and in public buildings. I would easily invest an actual $1 million into that.
• And lastly I would leave an extra $3 million for anything else I thought needed to be reviewed or "delt" with on a wide scale term.
So all together thats: $6,740,000.
The rest would all go into savings, left for whatever may come up.

Thanks for responding! You can learn so much from people by the way they answer these questions...and I must say you sound like a great person. I love what you said about the animal shelters. I would give to charity myself, as I said...mostly animal organizations like the spca. My dream is to one day have my own animal refuge, and that is what I am currently working towards in regards to my education. Once again, thank you so much for shairng=) I love hearing from other people and seeing the ways that we are all unique, and what we have in common.
Of course, I love sharing such things with people! I love to see just how people feel about a certain topic, or just in general how they feel all together. Everyone is different, and I enjoy finding out why and in just what ways are we different from eachother.
But thank you for the compliment, and good luck with your education! I really hope the best for you! People like you and I are truely great people, we care for those things that can't defend themselves. We speak for them, we act for them, and we love for them; it is that kind of integrity that should replace most of this planets malice not just towards animals but to everything as a whole.
Blessed Be and may the all of the peaceful entities guide you. I truely hope for the best for you.
