jarred1: If you had 1 million dollars, what would you do with it?
hmmm if you're talking U.S. dollars; 1 million of them doesn't go very far these days... and wait until all the equalising printing catches up to everyone.
Ok I'm going to give you a serious answer(s). First off the last place I would put the million is in a savings account. Why should I accept 0.025% interest from a bank while they make at least 40 times that much on MY money? I wouldn't give it away to anybody not even my family They would just spend it on stupid stuff like a house that's too big for them or new cars. They're gonna get it all after I croak anyway, then they can burn it for all I will care. I would invest the money in such a way as to make more money, stocks, bonds, etc. Maybe open up a chain of "payday" or "Title" loan stores. Those guys make a pretty good return at least they look like they do. Most people who become rich overnight like lottery winners, are usually broke again within a year or 2. Not me!

One million would net about 3,160.00 a month in interest. Enough to live well, and still keep the principle amount.
I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but a million dollars really isn't that much in this day and age...after uncle sam kept his at least 45% I would probably start a food bank for hungry families in my area
ooby_dooby: I think you may have way over estimated the monthly amount. What interest rate are you using RO?
One million dollars nets roughly 103.00 a day in interest. (Companies use this factoring to make a little money on their surplus profit). $103. times 30.5 days equals $3,141.50 per day. No, I wasn't far off.

Oh, sorry, about 3 per cent, which is entirely possible on larger amounts of money. Much higher, I might add, for municipal bonds and higher risk investments. Remember, that amount of money generates more money quickly, as the interest adds, and interest on interest.

I just googled a financial page/questions and answers, and a conservative amount given is between 32,000.00 and 38,000.00 a year in interest on one million dollars. That's close to what I said, figure it....

I came up with 3.792% interest rate but I don't know of any bank that's paying that high a rate on a savings acct. More like under 0.5%. The national average 1 year CD rate is 0.23% APY according to Bankrate.com.
