There are some kinds of news one would wake up to that might cause one to faint, lol. Especially news that one wasn't even expecting in any way. A million dollars is no joke, such a huge amount of money! If I wake up and see that I won such amount of money, I'd first ask someone to pinch me to be sure I wasn't day dreaming, lol
After confirming it was real, I'd get my pen and notepad to draft out how I'd utilize it because I already have ideas and plans laid down waiting for executions but for the availability of funds. First, I'd upscale my business, pump more money into it for sustainability. I will invest in mutual funds for my children and retirement. When the energy to run around for business will no longer be there, the ROI will keep body and soul together, since I won't be working forever.
I have the intention of going into large scale farming, this would be a great opportunity to actualize that dream. So, I will go to a remote area in my state where I would get land at a relatively cheaper rate and buy 2 hectares of land for cassava and maize farming, since funds are no longer an issue. I will get every resource needed and start up immediately because, they say, delay is dangerous.
After investing and setting up my necessary businesses, I would give my elder sister some money to upscale her business too and get her a better apartment. Also, I will set up a business for my brother. Family is everything, and when everyone is established there would be less burden for the one(s) who has(have).
Of course, I won't get hold of such money and not give my immediate family a treat, no matter how little. But business first, so that the desired lifestyle would be sustained. When the businesses start booming and investments start yielding returns we can start traveling around the world for vacation. Work first, before pleasure.
To be financially free isn't just about how much money one has, but in the ability to make the right decision to put the money in good use, where it would yield multiplying effects, for sustainability.
