You get a million dollars, but there’s a catch. You have to spend it on others and it can not directly benefit you. How will you spend it?

If I had 1,000,000 to spend but I couldn’t spend a penny on myself I would spend 1 quarter of it on homeless shelters and soup kitchens to help homeless people. Next, I would give another quarter to my family so my parents can pay off our house and their cars. Then, I would spend a quarter of it on projects to help clean up our oceans and the trash floating around our planet because that will help our generation and others later on. Lastly, I would spend a quarter on cancer research because my uncle died of cancer and my other uncle has some kind of cancer right now. That is what I would do if I had 1,000,000 to spend but I couldn’t spend anything on myself.

I would give the money to cancer research because kids are dying because if docters have better stuff than more kids will live.

If I got a million dollars I would donate it to a homeless shelter. If I got a million dollars and they get nothing it’s not fair. Especially if I'm given a million dollars. If I’m gifted more money than some people get in their whole life, it means I did not earn it. I think that it is only right to give people money that they could almost never get. Most of the time it is not those peoples fault that they are poor. There are people with billions of dollars, but to some people a million dollars is a lot more than that.

How I would spend one million dollars. I would buy all my friends the same dirt bike. Then I would also buy a bobcat tractor and then with that I would give it to a person that will build my racing team. With the rest of my money I would let my parents and friends go on a shopping spree. My mom would probably get the trucks she has been wanting.He would buy so much stuff. But at the end of the day I would give all my money to my parents because they would care for me and put a roof over my head and give me food. That is what I would do with one million dollars to not give it to me but to give to other people.

If I had a million dollars and I couldn’t spend it on myself I would spend it on the poor, and people who lost their homes in the fire and can’t afford a home. How I would do that is, I would buy lots of homes, or I could buy this huge building and everyone should have their own house in it. This would be my first option. My second thing would be to give money to children in hospitals, or disabled people who need help. Why I pick these two options are because lots of people lost their homes in the fire, and there are lots of poor people in need of a home. Also lots of kids in hospitals are sick, and a lot of disabled people who might need money for support. I could spend a million dollars on these two options, because people need help.

I would give all the money to my parents. So they could pay off the money they are going to be short on for the house. It will help pay for the fridge. It will help pay for gas for my mom and dad's cars. It will help pay for my soon to be Chevy camero. It will help pay for my parents diners without me and my sister. And it will help my dad pay for his shop where he can work on the cars and other stuff.

With my 1 million dollars I would buy my parents and family a really nice house which is about 600,000 dollars. Then I would give 200,000 dollars to homeless people. Lastly I would give the other 200,000 dollars to charities for cancer. That is what I would spend my money on.

There are a million different ways that I could spend a million dollars on others but here is what I would choose to spend it on. I would choose to spend it on people who are struggling with financial situations. The reason I would choose to spend the money like this is because I don’t think anyone should have to deal with the struggle of being able to feed their family or have to think about the fact that they might have to sleep on the streets. Nobody should be treated this way and a million wouldn’t be barely enough to make sure there are no homeless people, but it could definitely help.

I get one million dollars but I have to spend it one someone else and It can’t benefit me. I would like to spend it on homeless people, hospitals, and dog charities. I would spend half of my money on food. Then go around town giving food to homeless people. I would give half of the half of the money I have and donate it to hospitals. The rest of the money I have would go to dog charities. If I had one million dollars I would spend it on people and animals because that's what I care about.

If I got 1 million dollars to spend it on other people. I think I would give it to my family of 5. Since I have a sister that is 4 almost 5. I would put it in her bank account so when she is older it comes in handy. Also I'm in that family of 5 so technically I would have to give it to 4 people. I would give my mom and dad $300,000 because they are paying for my food and clothes and fun and I would give my brother and sister $200,000.

If I had 1 million dollars that I couldn't spend on myself. I would give it to Mr. Beast, my family, or paradise people because I have no idea how else to use it.

What would you do with a million dollars? I bet the first thing that came to your mind was to buy a nice car or luxury items, but what if you could only spend it on others how would you? Well I would want to give 500,000 to people who don’t have enough food for their families, I would give it to Action Against Hunger. The reason I would give them so much money is because just think about the families that are in pain right now. Then I would give 100,000 to schools that might need help. All these kids should get an amazing education and go on fun field trips and have an amazing time with their friends. Because you're only a kid once, so I would want to give them the best time of their lives. The rest of the money would go to animal shelters, there are a lot of helpless animals out there in this world that are getting beat and hurt and starving so I would support all the local animals shelters so all the dogs and cats or any animals that are in there get the best quality food and toys so they can live an amazing life.

If I had $1000000 to spend on anyone except myself it would be very hard to spend. First I would want to get something for all my friends. I would have to get something for all of them because if I don't get something for one person or two they would be mad and I want to make everyone happy if I have $1000000 to spend. When I've got all my friends something I would then look into helping charities and animal shelters. I feel like we take money for granted any money you give to a charity or animal shelter a lot or a little helps them out a ton so I feel like if I can just help even if it's just a little I would do anything I could. I would’ve give some to my parents but I feel like that's kind of directly helping me so that's why I didn't give any to my parents, because I'll just give it all to them and then they could have bought me stuff so that's why I didn't

If I got a million dollars that did not directly benefit me, I would go buy 250 dirt bikes for my friends so we all have a dirt bike. Then I would go ride them with my friends and do whatever we want. Why you ask, I would do this so my friends have something to ride and to make their day.

If I had one-million dollars and I could spend it on other people, I would spend it on my friends. They could get new dirt bikes and anything they want. I thought it would be nice for them to ride new dirt bikes around. Another thing I would give one-million dollars to is my uncle Mike because I need to pay him for taking me to school and to events. My uncle is always kind to me and takes me places that my mom maybe doesn't want to go to.

If I had a million dollars and I had to spend it on others I would spend thirty percent of the money for new technologies that will help find the cure of cancer. Twenty five percent of the money I would spend on ways people could prevent plastic going into our oceans. For the last forty five percent of the money I would spend it on my family and buy them a really nice house. I would spend the last forty five percent of the money on my family because my parents have always done so much to make my siblings and I happy. Another reason I would spend some of the money on my family would be because I know my family will always be there for me. If I had a million dollars these are the ways I would spend them.

The 1 million dollars in my bank account can be used for other benefits and not me, well I would spend it all on ocean and plastic clean-up and regrowth of trees. Well this does benefit me but others as well. The part about saving the ocean is that I will help clean it. Ocean life is a risk and the ocean is a major part of our planet and life. Saving oceans will have to start out by cleaninhg it from trash and scoop up bad chemicals. The other part, land is taken care of by planting lots of trees in rain forests and other treeless areas. I also came up with another solution for this, Australian fires. The fires in Australia are huge and destructive and are killing of koalas and other animals along with it and I would pay thousands to help fight the fires for them too. This would help our planet grow and be healthy and I hope that if you have 1 million dollars you would keep others in mind. :)

If I had a million dollars I would spend it on things for my family's house. Donate to the hospital so then they can get better stuff. Give out shoes and clothes to people, buy lots of food and toys for homeless cats and dogs because it's sad to see a dog die or cat. That would be the stuff that i would give to people with a million dollars.

I would spend the money on a few things. I would spend a quarter on animal shelters. I would spend another quarter on churches. I would spend the third quarter on orphanages. Finally I would spend the fourth quarter on my family and friends.

If I were to spend a million dollars on other people or like a society i wold spend 20% on a cancer facility and 10 % on orphans that don't have homes to live in. Almost 10 million people die from cancer a year and 1.8 million people are diagnosed with cancer a year. faster kids are left with no food money and starve with no homes.

I would give my parents all the one millon dollars to spend it on anything they could possible want for our new house because their on a budget. But if I gave them $1,000,000 they could honestly get anything they want the door handles, cabnets, counters, furniture, and most of all our pool and pool house. They could do what ever they want with the extra money.
