You have just won one million dollars:

  1. Who do you call first?
    My boss.  I quit!
    Then - my travel agent.
    Then - my stock broker.
    In that order.
  2. What is the first thing you buy for yourself?
    I would plan a 3 - 6 month tour of all the top ski resorts in the
    country - for my family and I.
  3. What is the first thing you buy for someone else?
    For Mom and Dad - wherever they want to go and however they want to get there.
  4. Do you give any away? If yes, to whom?
    Quite possibly, yes.  Family &  close friends first. 
    Maybe my brother, if he begs.  Definitely not my sister, under any
    circumstances.  Then to charity, I would give to a local children’s
    Hospice.  Politics, perhaps?  Bush/Cheney ‘04!
  5. Do you invest any? If so, how?
    Absolutely.  I would invest a ton of it.  I would keep out for
    my trip, for my folks and a few friends — and enough to live on for awhile
    and invest the rest (hmmm…what’s left?).  Stable, secure money
    markets..unless anyone else has some other bright ideas.
