if i had a million dollars

when i was ten, a friend of mine asked me what i would do if i had a million dollars. i immediately said that i would buy the best computer and the coolest telephone and then travel the world and buy ice-cream for all my friends. now i have been asked this question again and i do not have a ready answer.

there is only one thing that i know for sure — i would give some part of the money to my parents and i would donate some other part to charity. as for the remaining money i am not so sure. older and wiser people say that it is silly to spend it and that the best decision is to either invest it in a business with a strong reputation or keep it in a bank account and earn interest. it is a sensible decision but some part of me disagrees.

i might seem a foolish person, but even after thinking it over i would like to use this money to be happy and to make other people happy now and not in some distant future. that is why i would spend the remaining money on travelling with my family or friends and on cool gadgets and clothes for me and my family.
