If I Won a Million Dollars

January 12, 2012

According to Dictionary.com wealth is described as a great quantity or store of money, valuable possessions, property, or other riches. People spend their entire life seeking wealth. Some tend to be successful, and others fail miserably. I am usually a very unlucky person, but miracles happen every day in the beautiful word we live in. So what would I do if my luck decided to change and I happen to win a million dollars? The idea is tough to grasp, but if I won a million dollars I would spend the money on myself, my mother, and the game of baseball for the youth within my community. To begin, if I won a million dollars I would enrich my own lifestyle. I would start by buying a beautiful sports car. A Porsche 911 looks like the perfect fit for me. The Porsche 911 has over 4oo horse power with a luxurious body kit. This amazing car can reach speeds over 200 miles per hour, and I think it’s the perfect toy to fulfill my wildest fantasies. Also if i had a million dollars i would not have to worry about gas, insurance rates, or even speeding tickets. Therefore I could ramble around town with no fear. I would push the massive engine of the Porsche to extreme limits without any regards for my own safety or the law. Another essential item I would buy to enhance my lifestyle would be a an extravagant home for my future family. The perfect location for my dream home would have to be somewhere in the foot hills of the great northwest. That is where I spent a lot of my childhood. I have always wanted to go back and start a new life. My dream house would be nothing but extravagant. I would love to build a log cabin around 4500 square foot. The cabin would sit on top of a hill overlooking one of the major cites of the northwest. whether the home is located in Portland or Seattle, the interior would be pretty spectacular. Hardwood floors through out the entire house are crucial, so i can practice my Michael Jackson moon

    One million dollars has a lot of potential and would change one person's or multiple peoples' lives in a diverse amount of ways. Many people that do have that much money abuse it. I believe they spend their millions in wrong and irresponsible ways; many celebrities spend their riches on material items for themselves to make their own public image as a wealthy person by buying houses, cars, and designer items that the normal working class citizen could not afford. If I were somehow able to miraculously get ahold of a million dollars, I would try to make the world a better place with it.…

    Many things have gone through my head when I think of the possibilities I would have if I ever won the lottery. Although it does seem like a huge stretch, I do often think of what I could do with such a large sum of money. Many people could only hope to have the opportunities that come with winning the lottery. I do know that my winnings would be put to many great uses along with of course a few special treats of my own. A few I can name that would benefit from my winnings would be charities, family, friends, and of course myself.…

But, what seems to end up as a fairytale, many time becomes a horrible nightmare. Rather than improving their lives, a lottery win can lead newly rich people to feelings of guilt, paranoia, and boredom.…

    We all want to be millionaires, but do we know how to stay that way? Most people don’t know how to handle all that money. These millionaires just keep spending then saving. They just make quite the choices, right? Wrong! For example, NFL players, according to “Broke,” have lost every penny by just spending on random things like buying 2 cars at once. If you have that much money, you need to talk to a financial advisor that you trust. Trust plays the main role in this industry.…

    If I were a millionaire, then my life would take a dramatic turn from what it is now. Iwould adopt the lifestyle of the rich and famous.The first thing that I would do, if I were a millionaire, is to help my parents. My parentsare poor and live in a small house. It would be a dream come true if I could buy them a bigger,better and more spacious house. They would also be able to live a life of luxury, as I would beable to hire servants to help my mother with her domestic chores. My father would finally gethis well-earned break. He has been selling vegetables in the market all his life and has workedhard. If I become a millionaire, I would ask him to stop working, as he is old and needs to rest. Iwould not want him to die in harness.Money is definitely a boon and can be a friend. My life would change too. I would finallybe able to afford to buy better clothes and would even be able to afford some designer labelslike Gucci or Channel. Furthermore, I would no longer be seen riding my motorcycle, as Iwould be driving a fancy car. To maintain this image would mean that I would not be able tosocialize with some of my friends at the…

    I can tell you first hand, I would rather get lucky but the reality of it, is a million dollars will not be handed to me. You have to be willing to go out there and do the work. I have to be self motivated and have faith that my hard work will pay off. I am often viewed as greedy because I do not waste a lot of money, but i save up that money and invest it into my companies. Within my family nobody has reached the million dollars and whenever i talk to my family about the millionaires i follow all they respond with is “They are lucky”. “Lucky” to have 300,000 dollar cars, “Lucky” to have a 800,00 dollar house, but were they “Lucky” when they were homeless?. I myself do a lot of research on people the people who I follow and read their stories. I know most of the things they have gone through to get to a millionaire statues. Most have gone from rags to riches. I have learned that I have to be willing to burn my bridges and learn from mistakes. I have been around millionaires and they are not like most of the people you encounter everyday. Great manners along with advanced vocabulary are just the first things you will notice. They do not like to sit around, constantly on their phone. When we think of people on their phone we mostly imagine people liking other peoples post or just scrolling but millionaires are…

    “[...] Rising from rags to riches, of amassing a great fortune that will assure a life of luxuriant ease, power, and beauty in an ideal world untroubled by care and devoted to the enjoyment of everlasting pleasure and nothing to intervene between wish and fulfillment. It is a naive dream based on the fallacious assumption that material possessions are synonymous with happiness, harmony, and beauty.” (Roberts 73, 2006)…

    If I won a million dollars the first thing I’d do was put enough away for my education. Education is important because a million dollars is bound to run out. I’d also give my parents the majority of it because of all they have done for me. I believe I’d also try investing in stocks. It seems like a good idea to gain more money, but you have to choose the right business to invest in.…

    Wealth, as we all know, has no absolute power to procure happiness. As soon as wealth is in our grasp, we are tempted to use it for all kinds of bad purposes. Therefore, if I was a millionaire, I would never touch drink, gamble, or go in for any evil pursuit. I would rather go in for the promotion of the welfare and happiness of mankind. This is a laudable ambition and it would be the ideal of my happiness. As a truly philanthropic person, I would always try to make my fellowmen happier.…
