Spoken4byChrist Posted July 28, 2004 Share Posted July 28, 2004 Most people..that i know of, have asked themselves or others around them, what would you do with a million dollars? Most people say stuff like" buy a new house", "buy a sweet car", or "go shopping!". There are also the few who would donate some money to a charity or help for a cure of some sort, which to say the least is quite generous. But what would we as Catholics do? Personally, lol, i would buy out all those adult xxx stores and burn ALL their stuff! lol. But i seriously would. Although, yes I would do tithing. Every time i go past one i shudder.(about to gag shudder) Those people need LOTS of prayer! Like honestly, that is so sick. Why would someone even think about that? Sex is a gift from God, not from T.V. They should respect it, not abuse it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd tithe, then put the rest in savings...a million isn't that much nowadays... Let's boost the total...if it were a hundred million, I'd tithe, put a little in savings, and give most of it away. A hole burned in the pocket often leads to a hole burned in the soul. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmotherofpirl Posted July 28, 2004 Share Posted July 28, 2004 I would fix my house, I am tired of a leaky roof. Then I would fund scholarships to Catholic Colleges like Christendom and Steubie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CreepyCrawler Posted July 28, 2004 Share Posted July 28, 2004 i'd pay off my student loans, tithe some, donate some to charity, give a lot to my parents, put some in my IRA, pay for medical school, visit friends in Malaysia, France, Germany, India and Hawaii and buy some birkenstocks and a hybrid. ooohhh... a hybrid!

Andrea348 Posted July 28, 2004 Share Posted July 28, 2004 The Barenaked Ladies song just got in my head... ::starts to sing:: if i had a million dollars, (high voice) if i had a million dollars... Anyway, I think of this quite often since I'm looking to pay off debts to enter religious life....I would pay off my student loans, give my parents a portion so they would be set for the rest of their life, give some to the religious community I was entering, and help others enter religious life who are having trouble with debt also.

1337 k4th0l1x0r Posted July 28, 2004 Share Posted July 28, 2004 Quote that came to mind (with a little editing): Nothing. I'd relax, I would sit on my butt all day, I would do nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crusader1234 Posted July 28, 2004 Share Posted July 28, 2004 Just one problem: The porn industrie is a hundred billion dollar industry. Sorry to burst your bubble. As for birkenstocks... I found a pair at my cottage and now they are 'mine'. If I had a million dollars, I'd buy an RRSP. It costs something like 2.3 million dollars to retire 'rich' so I'd just save up for that. I'd donate some too obviously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XIX Posted July 28, 2004 Share Posted July 28, 2004 I'd probably put it all in the bank and collect interest for a living. Then, I could work my whole life as a volunteer for some pro-life organization or something. Mow if I had enough money to make a chapel or something, that would be a different story.

track2004 Posted July 29, 2004 Share Posted July 29, 2004 I'd invest a large chunk in stocks and bonds and put some away in regular savings accounts. I'd give some to the church or other group who does sevice and won't spend it poorly. And I'd have to pay for college because my mother told me if I come into a lot of money that she's not going to pay for me. Mostly though I'd make it grow to be lots and lots of money so I can retire at 50. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
franciscanheart Posted July 29, 2004 Share Posted July 29, 2004 you know, those birkenstocks arent a bad idea.... maybe i would buy as many as possible and give them to all those men, women, and children who are without shoes. there are so many all over the world and most of them are the ones that have to walk around on worse streets than anyone here in the states....
