What would you do if you were given RM1,000,000?

I read this one interview on primary and secondary school students in KL in The Star yesterday. Reporter was asking the students the question that we all have heard or been asked before: " What are you going to do if you were given 1,000,000?"

The article featured answer of around 10 students from KL and to my astonishment, there was only a girl with the answer "I want to help the poor and needy!". Only 1 out of 10 would use the money to help others.

The rest gave answers like " I would shop till I drop!", " I would buy a Ferrari!", "I would give some to my parents and get myself a PS3!" etc. etc.......

Where have all those noble thoughts in kids gone?

I am not sure if I were asked this question before when I was young, but I definitely thought about it before. My answer to it was and is : " I would help the needy, give some to charity, give some to NGOs, bla bla bla.... and buy a more decent camera(recently added)!" Sounds noble right? Still, when the real money comes in, no one knows for sure what one would do!

I am glad at least till now my answer to that question remain the same over the years!

What would you do?

Hi there!
I would like to burn a theme at this forum. There is such a thing, called HYIP, or High Yield Investment Program. It reminds of ponzy-like structure, but in rare cases one may happen to meet a company that really pays up to 2% daily not on invested money, but from real profits.

For several years , I make money with the help of these programs.
I'm with no money problems now, but there are heights that must be conquered . I get now up to 2G a day , and I started with funny 500 bucks.
Right now, I managed to catch a guaranteed variant to make a sharp rise . Visit my web site to get additional info.

Good day, sun shines!
There have were times of hardship when I didn't know about opportunities of getting high yields on investments. I was a dump and downright pessimistic person.
I have never thought that there weren't any need in big initial investment.
Nowadays, I'm happy and lucky , I started to get real income.
It's all about how to choose a correct partner who uses your money in a right way - that is incorporate it in real deals, and shares the profit with me.

You can ask, if there are such firms? I'm obliged to tell the truth, YES, there are. Please be informed of one of them:
