What would you do if you won a $Million$

50k a year is more than most teachers, cops, waitresses, secretaries. It's enough for me to quit my job for a while and be a bum at my brothers house in Seattle. I'd also keep playing ESO and stream videos or start a website dedicated to eso gamers.Wicked Felina/ Khajiit NB DC2 -

Catblade✭✭✭✭Just like Jay and Silent Bob did, I would go through every post on this forum to find out who criticized Zenimax for doing this giveaway and spend the money traveling to their homes to beat them up.
Seriously, I probably would just invest it all so I don't have to work until I'm 75.
I'd come with you just because it's a dream of mine to pick fights on the internet, then go finish them.Edited by Catblade on December 4, 2015 5:59PM0 -

✭✭Get some work done on my house and yard that I can no longer do myself (siding, paint, electrical, etc)
Continue to live quietly.
Get a kiln and workshop so I can go back to sculpting.

The average annual salary in my country is $12k before taxes, so I'm pretty sure I could survive on $50k. That is, if my country could even participate.Forestd16b14_ESO wrote: »First off it's 50K a year for 20 years, second that is no way enough to live off of so please don't quit your jobs, third a million dollars isn't much any more sure maybe in the 90's or early 2000's but now not so much.
Lastly what I would do with it is well 20 goes to me mum for bills, 20 goes to me dad for his medical bills, and the last 10 will be for me such as college and ESO plus.

✭✭✭✭✭Well, lets see...
Prize $1,000,000 - after taxes $400,000 (at best). So that's about $20,000 a year with their payout plan.
So, I guess I'd put half each year into home improvements and invest the rest.
Being a responsible adult sucks.

Grats for your baby!
Well, if I had 50k dollars a year (which is actually 4 time more than what I earn to feed my family of 4) all my problems would be solved at once!
With 50k dollards I'd stop to work. I'd have more than enough to live comfortably and even saving a bit.
I'd be able to live half time in Belgium and half time in Norway. I want to settle in Norway with my boyfriend, but can't for now, because of my kids and their father. So I'm stuck in my country with no prospect of nice future. With not having any issues with incomes, this would give me the freedom to travel between two homes. My boyfriend could go back in his country, with his family, his friends, study or work, as he wishes. We would finally build our home in Norway.
And lastly I'd be able to focus on what I truly love to do: videos, guides, stream etc... Full time! Awesome!

Similar - it would add to our household income allowing us to get a much-needed extension built and I could resume running a cat sanctuary, without having to worry so much about neutering bills.RIP Atherton, my beautiful little gentle friend.

I think you mean. 20 goes to the government in taxes and 30 left over for those other things?

✭✭If I won the million USD:
1) Buy a new pair of pants. The ones I happen to be wearing at the time I find out I won, will have been ruined mysteriously...
2) Set up my kids' university funds.
3) Pay off my wife's student loans, pay off my student loans.
4) Set up retirement for my wife and I.
5) Play more ESO.

This would be so much fun, I would finally be able to accidentally shoot a few players in my alliance I mean meet them.
