What would you do with $1 million?

I have to say that as a kid when people talked about winning $1 million, everyone said they "would be set for life."  Pfffft, ha!  One million really is not that much these days.  I mean don't get me wrong, its a nice chunk of change-just not enough to live off of indefinitely.  The average working American-with a college degree, makes about $35k per year.  In 30 years they've made a million.  Oh sure, you could try to invest your million but in this economy and stock market, that is VERY dicey right now. 

First thing I would do is pay for all three of my kids' college tuition.  Then I would send myself back to college for a degree.  I would at least go for a Master's, probably a PhD.  I want to go into the field of Chemical Dependency/Addiction.  I would love to develop an alternative treatment to what most rehab centers teach now.  I just think that there's got to be another way other than the 12 Step/AA dogma.  But that discussion is for another day.

I would buy myself a nice condo and furnish it of course.  I definitely would do something "frivolous" with some of the money.  It would be awesome to take my kids on vacation somewhere.  Just me and them, alone as a family.  It really wouldn't be frivolous in my opinion.  That kind of quality time with them would definitely be worth the money.

I would also try to help out my family and friends that truly needed it.  I would have to be careful though, like I said, a million bucks doesn't go as far as it used to.
