First off, I'd buy back the old family property.

Then I'd pay off all my family and friend's mortgages.

Then I'd open an animal sanctuary and pay people really decent wages to work for me, as many are badly paid.

I'd fly everyone I know out to a massive party on a cruise ship somewhere nice...it'd have to be done really, wouldn't it?:D

I'd go into Selfridges looking a total scruffbag and buy Manolos, some Dior shoes (had a pair once, but the heels broke:() and a nice Chanel bag. Then hit the cosmetics dept!:D

Pearls show to poor effect under disco lights, Kaylene, you'd do far better with my emerald choker and matching lurex shorts. Don't wear the neckband too tight, these stones are rather heavy. Make sure you're back before dawn.

That's nothing either good or bad, in my eyes... just the way things tend to be. Having experienced it on both ends, and from my brief stint as a financial analyst for JPM and Citi, I've learned that the rich and the poor think very much in the opposite manner, concerning how they handle money. The poor, and those choosing to live at or just beyond their means, in order to impress the 'Joneses', tend to spend, whilst the wealthy tend to 'Scrooge' it.

Myself, I imagine it would be as I've done before, but with earned millions, however... I'd give most of it to others that needed it. Why would an individual change just because they suddenly were handed a windfall, unless something was a bit off-whack mentally, about them?

I've been very wealthy, and I've been pretty much flat broke... not much about me has really changed being at either extreme. I do believe that such change is generally good for people, however... it's healthy to experience both sides of the spectrum. Everything in moderation, right? It's all about balance. Yin and Yang, if you will.Good post........thankyou;)
