If you magically received $10 million

Imagine this scenario: If $10 million magically appeared in your bank account, how would you spend it?

Let’s assume you checked with the bank and authorities, and they said the money is yours to use as you wish.

How will you spend it?

I spend a lot of time thinking about questions like this.

Not out of greed but to be prepared.

There are enough stories about lottery winners who have the same or less money than before winning the lottery because they splurge.

I don’t want to end up like that.

You never know when a windfall will come. You could be left an inheritance. A stock or coin performs incredibly well. You get a large bonus at work.

When that happens, I want to use the money as productively as possible, benefiting my long-term quality of life.

Planning for unlikely scenarios isn’t just about readiness; it sharpens one's understanding of priorities and strengthens one's decision-making in all aspects of life.
