hmmmm....straight $10 mil after taxes...hmmmmm
well, that's not enough to retire on in this day and age [at least not on this day and at my age] so it just depends on what one does with it. if it's invested wisely, the money works for you [at least that's what "they" say, whoever "they' are] so if i could do that, that's what i'd do. otherwise, i'd still work, pay off bills, take a chunk to travel and give the rest to friends and family
Investment would still require work. Would it not?

So, 10 million dollars after taxes, then?
I'd go to school, without a doubt. Education is one of the most important things ever.
If you think 10 million dollars will last you long - Have you ever heard the stories about people winning the lottery, then becoming homeless a year later? This happens in pretty much most cases of people going from rags to riches... They don't know the value of millions of dollars. Show them 20$? They know what that's worth. Show them 1 000 000? Not so much.
You'd be out of cash in less than a year, with no education and no job. Good luck in life.

Of course. As Alex said, money doesn't last forever. You need to have a steady source of income.
That's bullshit. Of course there are people who are not able to handle that much money but it is not a fate but something that has to do with you character. You never hear of those people who did not become homeless but simply happier with their lives.

I'd probably learn some stuff, to keep myself busy and maybe learn about running a business like Reina said.

I would use that money to go to the art school I always wanted to go. I would then use some of the money to create a few high quality blogs and advertisements to expand my freelance career. So yes, I would go to school, but only to make more money and expand upon the $10 million.

10 million?! I would be so ecstatic and in serious disbelief. I would definitely stop working for sure especially because I don't really like the job I'm doing, I'm not passionate about it at all. I feel like why work when that's a position someone who needs it could have.It would be kind of greedy. I would make decisions to make sure I always have money and I would possibly go back to college to find a career I truly love.

I would take the money and work with it as investment money and duplicate it. So I wouldn't directly go to school, but I guess you could say I'll be working yeah.

If I had that much money without any taxes I would definitely not be going to school or work anymore.

Buy a large house and car and fund my way through a very expensive college so I could have a nice career. 10 million wouldn't last FOREVER but it would be a very good buffer so you could go to the best schools and such.
