Hi everyone,

A question was asked recently on this forum. The question being which would you choose between a guaranteed 1 million dollars or a 50% chance at getting 100 million. A lot of people myself included chose to take the 1 million guaranteed. Now i would like to ask you guys. What would you do if you did have that 1 million dollars. Are you going to start some business? invest the money? spend it on yourself and loved ones? or perhaps dig a hole in your backyard and bury the money there? I asked myself the same question and i actually found it quite hard coming up with a fast lane strategy on how to use the money if i did have it.
looking forward to your comments!
