    I would probably just buy a crazy house, a nice car, and a lot of objects. I would also invest in SEO so I will be able to make money off my money.

    A crazy house? Like the ones on MTV Cribs? Where you have like a pool, jaccuzi, pool table, bowling alley, etc.? Would you really wanna live in a house that big all by yourself?

    I would use a half to buy a brand new ride for the family.Then next I'd invest 25% of the balance in my business. I would also do some much needed work on my home. The rest I'd use to purchase an airline ticket plus pay for everything else that comes with a great trip for my family and I and bless some people in need. Then whatever is left, if any,I would put in an investment fund.

    I won't spend the money, I'll have them for investments. Use money to grow money, then I'll use the extra I got from the investments for spending on things. Two million dollars aren't a lot nowadays so it's best to save them for a rainy day.

    I would pay off my debt, put enough money away for my kids' colleges, buy a house and donate the rest to UNICEF or St. Judes. You can't take it with you and you know what they say about more money...

    I'd surely invest it on my health, then surely buy a house for my mom and another one for me and my boyfriend. I'd then bank the rest and live off that interest. It would be interesting if instead of 2 million dollars we were talking about 2 million euros ;)

    A lot of these answers talk about saving the money/putting it away, but the OP said that you have to spend it all in a day. If I absolutely had to spend it on material items and couldn't save it, put it away, or invest it, I would buy a decent house and completely pay it off, buy a nice car and completely pay it off, and probably spend the rest on helping my family members pay off their debt. I'd probably also purchase a new cars and help them pay off their houses.

    I would buy a whole bunch of properties to rent out so I can ensure money in the future. I would also help my family with houses and cars and buy myself a nice house and some cars.

    I'd buy a house and then buy things that I can sell.... Try to turn the money into opportunities for more money. Doesn't say you cannot use the money to make more money. :) The nerd in me would be buying myself one seriously decked out office space/computer equipment.

    If I had to spend $2 million dollars in one day, I would take the whole family to a no expense trip to Disney World for the day. I would buy me a house in cash, two cars in cash, the same for my close and immediate family, pay off any debt, I have and my family have, and give the rest to charity. If putting some of the money in a CD is considered spending it, then I would get several of those as well, all in one day!!!! That would be one busy day.
    I would love for this to happen to me in real life, but not in one day, maybe a life time will do!!!!!

    I would spend it all on purchasing a few properties, for that price is New Zealand I could probably purchase 4 decent houses to rent out. Or I could purchase 2 houses and buy a 1 million dollar apartment on the cruise ship The World, which I've always dreamed about living on.

    I wish I had 2 million to spend! Haha! But if I did, I would actually keep $500,000 for myself and then invest the rest of my money. I would probably hire an investor to help me out. Might as well invest the money so I can make more money!

    Slightly more 2 million €, but not that much more. How would you invest on your health Trellum, in what way is it needing an investment? A fitness trainer would be a good idea for me actually. :)

    Ow, well, I'd get all the health tests I need to get done, I'd simply see the best doctor to treat my actual health issues. I wish I didn't have health issues to ''invest'' on, but oh well! I do, better learn to cope with that :p I'd also get a personal trainer if I could afford it :p:thumbsup:

    If I had two million I would probally get myself a nice big house with a garage large enough for a nice collection of cars and turn the garage into a sort of show room.

    Yes, I'd love to have a personal trainer, I'd get my body totally fit and I hope he'd take my laziness away as well lol!

    Seeing the best doctors and getting the best treatments sadly is only for those with a lot of money... :(
