I'd help out my Dad and a good friend, and play secret santa all year. I'd continue to live in my RV, but I'd build a nice deck. I would also hire a financial advisor.
I'd prepay the mortgage (would not completely pay it off, but significantly reduce the balance), do some upgrades to the house, and the rest goes into our investment account. One million... ahh, I wish!
(...but I'd happily take a $20 Amazon gift card instead lol :))
I would donate as much as possible working with healthcare on whose medical bills that are so extensive. Children that are fighting cancer and cancer families are a huge one, most people until you are in those shoes--don't realize how big those bills for hospital stays and treatments can add up. My husband's cousin years ago was diagnosed with cancer and he is fine now but they had to refinance their house to pay their share after the insurance paid.
Pay off my bleeping student loans, buy a house in the mountains, rent my current city house as an Airbnb (so I can still come back when I want), work part-time and spend way more time sleeping, cooking, hanging out with my husband and relaxing.
Schedule some doctor appointments. My health insurance at work has a seven thousand dollar a year deductible and it is killing me and it is the lowest deductible plan they offer us. I'd also look into purchasing our own health insurance plan and try to get a better plan.
I'd invest the vast majority of it for retirement, but make sure to take modest vacations while we are healthy and can enjoy it.
If I may suggest, I'd tell home owners to get a loft conversion. Its a great way to turn an ordinary attic into something more valuable. Also, it increases the price of your home in case you have plans of moving and selling it in the future.
I'd pay off our student loans and my house! Then maybe buy an income property. Or have our house repainted after all these toddler fingerprints! The rest would go straight to our Early Retirement fund.
One big way to save on Amazon that's not mentioned in the article is to buy from Marketplace Sellers offering their items on Amazon, not from Amazon itself. Most Marketplace sellers offer the same item that Amazon is selling for less than Amazon's price. With books, media, and other categories, you can realize even bigger savings if you are buying items for personal use and can buy them used. You'll often pay a fraction of the new price. Look for new and used links under the heading, "Available from these sellers." Be sure to check the seller's feedback rating to help ensure you'll have a positive experience; ratings below 97% are not all that great and anything below 90% positive should probably be avoided.
I would set aside a good chunk for taxes (paid quarterly), set up trust funds for my 2 daughters, invest a good chunk to live off the interest and dividends, and take a trip around the world.
I would donate to my favorite charities, give money to family members throughout the year especially the Grandkids, remodel my house and invest wisely.
If I had a million dollars I would first pay off all of my student debt. Second I would take 1/4 of the remaining half and invest it in stocks, ETF's, mutual funds, bonds. I would take another 1/4 and buy a house/apartment, and I would invest the remaining amount in investment properties.
I use Amazon like some people use the big box stores to see the product and then buy it online with Amazon. I shop Amazon for the reviews of a product and then buy the same thing on EBAY for less plus free shipping!

Pay off my loans and travel the world for a year! Then I would buy a house, invest the rest and get back to work!
Pay off my mortgage, travel, and donate some to animal shelters.

1. Pay off student loans
2. Pay off car

Can't believe none if these points were "buy a multi-family home."
I just bought patio furniture from my local Home Depot for about half the price on Amazon.

I would give some of the money to church and then save the rest of the money in my savings account.

set aside enough for taxes and invest the rest.

I'd pay off my student loans, invest some, share some with family, and I'd finally get a dog!
With a million dollars, I would buy a few cars for family, a house, travel, and donate.

I also like modandsoul.com . Has some really good classics and some edgy pieces. And lots of statement necklaces.
Thanks!
Complete homeownership, and then retirement investing.
