The Million Dollar Question

I recently posted this question on my Facebook and Instagram profile: “What would you do if you had US$1,000,000 today?”

The comments to my question were a mix of funny and serious replies:

Bigyan kita! (I’ll give you some!)
20% retirement. 30% house 10% Charity 20% world tour 20% various luho hahha (“luho” are wants)

This particular comment made me ask a follow-up question as to how the 20% Retirement will be allocated. To which the reply was:

100% equity funds. Probably sa 20% na yun 20% stocks and 80% spread out sa various UITF, Mutual and VUL

Cool, right? A retirement fund is really something important that we should plan on as soon as possible.

Check out this detailed allocation too:

5% immediate cash donation charity and church
15% establish passive income stream – 70% of profit goes to church and ministry 30% to assistance to needy relatives fund
25% equity investment fund
20% real estate investment fund
10% start up fund; enterprise opportunities
8% bank deposit (liquid cash)
5% protection (HMO and insurance)
4% personal education fund
4% travel fund
2% SUV
2% Dream Wedding Fund

Here’s a few more:

Bibili ako ng printing machine ng pera (I will buy a money printing machine)

Haha funny how counterfeiting STILL came into mind when you already have US$1million. Would you have thought of that?

Magtayo ng pabrika ng illegal drugs!! Hahahahahahhahahahahahahaha (I will build my own factory of illegal drugs)

Kids, don’t try this at home :p There are a lot of businesses out there that contributes positively to the nation. Just not this one, this is clearly a joke 🙂

Magtatago from Kim H. (I will hide from Kim H.)

Well, we don’t know who Kim H is but I am assuming he or she is taking money from the person who commented this haha!

My answer to the Million Dollar Question

Here’s a breakdown on how I would allocate the million dollars:

$100,000 – Church and Various Charities (50/50)
$320,000 – Investments in stocks, VULs, Mutual Funds, Real Estate, Businesses
$100,000 – Education fund (For future seminars, workshops etc)
$200,000 – Real estate for personal use
$165,000 – Personal enjoyment / travels
