If you were given the opportunity to earn $1,000,000 but first had to willfully spend a larger amount on others, would you do it, and if so, how?

I’d definitely do it. It would be easy for me to find charities and organizations to donate $10,000,000 to—AND work for them.

Actually, I’d spend $10,000,000 on my favorite organizations, work for them, and not need the $1,000,000 at the end.

Oh, heck yeah! I’ll be like Santa Claus. I would help all my family members first and then I’ll give the rest away to food banks to help feed those in need right now.

I am confused. I do not have 10 million to spend in order to get 1 million back. However I would love to spend a million buying lunches for the homeless.

@linguaphile – ”...and not need the $1,000,000 at the end.”

Well, thats just swell, ling. That is just an excellant way for an english teacher like yourself to be positive. Yep.

@Pandora – Everyone definitely needs to eat that’s for sure.

@Dog – Yep. I get confused sometimes too, Dog. And even I don’t have $10,000,000 ! But I would still consider buying lunches for the homeless.

I don’t have $10 million so I am not sure how I would fund that but I definitely have a lot of goals in terms of helping others, so I would happily do it if I could. One thing I would like to set up a scholarship for Indigenous journalists. To help fund their study. I would also like to fund a half-way house for people and children who are moving out of abusive relationships and need support while they find their feet.

I already have plans for what I would do to help others if I won a really large amount on the lottery or something. $1,000,000 is actually not that much money these days sadly.

@Bellatrix – The elephant in the question about the $10,000,000 is assuming that an already wealthy single person, organization or foundation were to present the public with this situation.

Bella, if you did not totally understand my question, I apologize, as only I must. But I do thank you for what you said further.
