| I want a new house, DH wants a new car, but neither of us can bring ourselves to do anything ... We did pay off the credit cards, but that was not much. Ideas? |
| Are you serious with this post? |

Troll.
As if someone who just received $2m would really turn to DCUM looking for ways to grow it.
|
| get some dollar bills |
Exactly. Bring them to the Champagne Room. Make it rain. |

| Please send $500k to me. I will be happy to forward my address. |
You never can tell what is true and what is not on DCUM.
|
| If it happened to you, do you think you would run tell all your friends? Relatives? |
| OP, sounds like you'll need four or five car washes to launder all that cheddar. |
Next, you send it to me
No seriously, the first rule is to let the money SIT THERE for a year. This is to let it sink in psychologically, and to prevent you from doing anything rash. You can consult with a financial adviser too during this time. Then once you are sure about how to want to break it down, go ahead. |
| Screw that...I only need $10k. Please reply! |
| OP, have you posted about this before? It was an inheritance, right? |
| You just paid off the credit card expense? With 2M in the bank?? Why did you even have a balance on your credit card? |
Ah this would make sense. I thought OP was saying they'd been saving all along and just hit 2M. So little information in that first post that it is impossible to respond. I don't even really know what OP is asking. |
