    Yes, I would still remain a "hubber" but I would pay all my debts and give my family a little spending money as well. I think it would give me great joy to be debt free!

    Most definitely I probably would. Writing is about self expression, and getting things off your chest directly, or indirectly in many different ways.

    Money is not all it is jacked up to be. It is great for paying the bills, buying food, and medicine, and for buying nice things, and for helping others, and for buying insurances. This is great, but then you get scared your going to spend it all, so you try to hoard it, and try not to get konked in the head for having it.

    You have to look over your shouldrer more than you did before. You buy more locks on the doors. Money is a responsibility, a lot of it, but I really would not know because I have been poor, but I am not complaining. God Bless You.

    i'd buy a nice car, a nice house, start a business, and invest the rest in stocks, mutual funds and real estate. And then when I profit, I'd give it to charity so it will be a forever thing rather than a one time thing. wooooooh.

    Put it in a bank or invest it.   If one is to retire in 30 years and live another 30 more years, then taking into account inflation, rise of food, and cost of living, and decrease of social security, then one million is not even enough to retire in United States.  seriously.

    So, yes, I would still be a Hubber.

    I would pay off some credit cards , pay a big part of my mortgage and put some money aside for my children's education. I would definitively use some of the money for a long and amazing family vacation with my family.

    Of corse I would still be a hubber! But I can not even begin to think about if I ever would win a million dollars. I would give alot of it away to my family or course. Invest, buy a house and a dog. That's all I need.

    Pay my debts and write a hub about not accumulating too much debt.

    I'd still be a hubber but I'd be hubbing from a new house whilst watching my toddlers play in their very own petting zoo.

    Easy come, Easy go.  So....I;d use the money for community work.  I would invest to beautify my neighbourhood with trees and parks.  Rehabilitate the poor with work they can do rather than waste their time with no direction as bums, thus abusing a good human body.

    Hm, hard one, but yes, would remain a hubber. If you left your job and had nothing to do, you would end up hubbing all day..

    Also I would invest 3/4 of it and just enjoy the rest and share some with the important people in my life..

    As I am a single man, I would invest 1/4 in a nice car and a nice motorcicle as well  as change all my clothes to nice ones.
    Then I'd put aside 1/4 on a credit card to spend with girls and sports and trips.
    One half I'd save to my retirement.
    One million is not enough but if you are living with 1/100 a year, it is a big change.
