If I was to receive $3,000,000 and had to spend it in one month, what I would do is this. First, I would donate forty-five percent of the money to various charities, then I would take another thirty percent and use it to help out my family, and finally what I would do with the last twenty- five percent of the money is buy a few things that I would need. Whatever I do not use of my twenty- five percent will go to charity.
$3,000,000 is an impressive amount of money. How would somebody be able to spend that much on themselves, when there are people and animals out there suffering from disease and homelessness, and not feel bad about it? That is why the first thing I would do is take forty-five percent of that money and give it to charity. That is $1,350,000 that I would be giving away to help people and animals in need. It is very hard to choose which charities to give to, because they all do excellent work, but I will list the top ten that I would give to. The first charity I would give to would be the Make-A-Wish Foundation, because they help make sick children’s dreams come true every day. Another charity I would give to would be the Jeff Gordon Children’s Foundation, which is dedicated to helping children with cancer and helping to find a cure. The founder, Jeff Gordon, and several other big names such as Bill Clinton, travelled to Rwanda, Africa to help treat children over there and to build a hospital so they can have better care over there. The next charity would be the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation. Although I do not know anybody who has suffered through this disease, I have seen what it can do, and it is heartbreaking, just as much as watching children and adults suffer through cancer. Other charities I w...

... one dollar whenever I see a jar or a place to donate money. So, with the money I have left I would buy a log cabin in the middle of the woods and a truck. After I buy those two things, I would take the rest of that money and I would donate even more to money to various charities. If that makes me crazy, then so be it.
Money these days is really hard to come by. So being able to win the lottery or somehow receive $3,000,000 would be a miracle and a blessing that I would be forever thankful for. I would use at least seventy- five percent of my money to give to various charities and to help my family. I would use the other twenty-five percent to buy what I need. Once I do that I will take the rest of the money from my percentage and give it to various charities. As John Dye once said “There are possibilities for goodness in a world that is very filled with turmoil.”

Your possessions- I have a lot of possessions, but I would say my electronics really do a lot for me each day and I’m grateful for them. My cell phone, tablet and laptop get my class work done, daily tasks and leisure time.
This topic was previously mentioned in “The Richest Man in Babylon”. The quote, “Make thy gold multiply”, has similar meaning to Dave Ramsey’s ideas. Ramsey’s main idea of money was to use it to the best of its abilities. This does not mean to spend it all in one shot or invest all of it into a share, but it means that you have to figure out your priorities and get them in. For you financial life you need to understand what you need to save, invest, and spend and also how much money you are willing to use for each. Your money priorities should be shaped around life aspects, but you should always be reminded that your “wants” are not always

Peter singer argues that it shouldn’t be any reason for Americans to don’t donate money to poor children when they can afford luxuries that are not important for their lives and health. Singer used two examples with two different situations and he tying to motivate readers to donate as much as money they can.
...od reason. We all need help at some point in time, and I hope that after we get that help we can see that we’ve been helped and maybe now is a good time for me to help out someone else. Another means of money giving is to charity. Just like welfare, charity is another good reason for our society to help people or even groups that are in need for help or research. In our society there are many people that count on others for help. The people that need help for medical reasons or what have you deserve the right to benefit from charities or other outside donations. The one thing that our society can not do is take advantage of these actions and right them off on our taxes. We can not take advantage of the taxpayers money. We need to use our society in the best way we can ethically.
With USD 1 million, I would open a large hostel for women in need of protection.

Have you ever had a dream or a wish? Have you ever wanted to go somewhere but you're too sick, too tired, and you don't have enough money and you had already lived your life? Donate to the Make-A-Wish-Foundation, they help every kid make their dream come true! If you donate you won't just make the kids happy, you would make yourself happy! I believe this is the best charity to donate to. A little kid from Make-A-Wish-Foundation one time said “Just wanted to say thanks for putting a twinkle back into little shining stars. Your hard work brightens lives!” -Terri.

... help tremendously. If everyone who could afford to donate once a year actually did, these problems would not be as severe as they are today. Next time you buy for yourself instead of donating, just imagine how it would feel if you were in their shoes.
The most important thing to me is success; it’s a thing I must have. Success can mean a lot of different things to different people; it just depends on the person. Success to me is a business standpoint; I have so many goals I’ve set for myself business and financial wise, success comes to me in those ways. In order for me to feel like I’ve actually succeeded in life I must reach these goals. If I reach these goals I have many plans that will contribute to the benefiting of society, like starting a camp for all types of kids. It would be somewhere they could go in the summer to stay out of trouble and have tons of fun without the risk of going through many of the pressures children experience while out with friends hanging out at home. I would have four wheelers; fishing, camping, and many other things children love to do.
December 10th started out as any other day. Before, I went to work as a waitress; I went to the local supermarket to buy a Lotto 649 ticket. The jackpot that week was worth approximately 30 million dollars. The numbers I picked were the same as always: 7, 17, 18, 21, 39 and 44. After buying the lottery ticket, I went to Lucky Fortune, the restaurant where I worked.
I always try to help the needy people, because I believe that, every thing which I have is God gifted.
