If $100,000 Is Handed To Me Now

In the Oprah telivision show today, one of the highlight of todays episode is the interview of a homeless man that was given $100,000 by a filmmaker in exchange to have his day to day life as a homeless person be filmed and documented and turn into a film documentary. The homeless man who was given the $100,000 was given complete control of what he wanted to do with the money. He was given the chance to make his own choices and decisions with it. The filmed documentary was done as a social experiment, to test someone like the homeless man, how a certain individual make critical and important decisions in his life when given this chance, the $100,000 that was given to him for free. In the Oprah show, the filmed documentary was not really shown in the Oprah show, but they were showing little tidbits of the documentary only, and the homeless man and the filmmaker was interviewed on the show.

If you will ask me, what can I do with $100,000 if someone will give it to me for free, and I have total control and choice whatever I want to do with it? Hmm, I could definitely use it well that will definite not only benefit me but my family as well. I would totally consider buying a four or three bedroom house in a great neighborhood still with lots of yard for us. Even if we have some yard right now where the dogs can play, we could definitely use some more square footage in the house. So, probably that is what I would do, buy a house for us, if I am the one given the $100,000 or more, even if such amount can hardly buy anyone even a vacant lot anymore these days.

What about you, if you are given $100,000 and you have the chance to make decisions all by yourself with what you want to do with it, what are you going to do? Will the opportunity make your life better or worse?
