If you suddenly found a box of money filled with 2 million in your closet

what would you do

Honestly I'd probably use it to try to move away.

You guys?

    If it's in my closet I'd know my brother was up to his old tricks again.

    not put it into a fuckin bank like these people

    thered be tax implications dea suspicions possible seizures and 250k is the limita what the fed will insure if the bank goes outta bidness

    id prolly buy a buncha used but fairly new heavy equipment and forestry equipment whichd account for half then incorporate as a contractor and funnel the resta the money through the company while doin legit work at a slight loss

    after a while liquidate the company and have legit legal bank money

      Deposit more than 10 grand in cash and it gets reported to the IRS.

    Put it in my bank account and move. Just anywhere. I don't want to be around when whoever put it there comes back

    I would be extremely concerned about what sort of people were soon going to turn up looking for a misplaced box of used twenties.

    But more than that, I would be bewildered by how someone managed to install a closet in our house without me noticing. (Only the most expensive British houses have closets, and our home is far to modest to have one.)

    I would give some money to my cousin, so she can open her own restaurant and have a secure future for her daughter. It’s her dream to have her own restaurant franchise. Then give money to my parents to buy a house and go on a vacation they never had, also pay for my siblings college. Then I’ll buy a house for me, my best friends, my sister, and our other cousin to live in together. Then disappear when family who never cared about me suddenly shows up asking how I been. Oh yeah and open my own animal sanctuary for disabled animals and ones saved from the slaughter house. Then adopt and foster kids and give them any help they might need. All while avoiding from those toxic family members I know would suddenly care about me now that I have money.

    Well I would wonder how the hell it even got there. And then I would take one of the hundred dollar bills there (I’m assuming that’s what it would be) and I would take it to the bank and ask them if it’s real. Because that’s just weird af to just happen.

    And after they tell me it’s real, I wouldn’t really be sure what to do at first. I’d probably deposit like $300 into my bank and then deposit $500 weekly into my bank or something. I wouldn’t want to deposit it all into the bank right away because I think they will wonder where I got all that money from out of no where like that.

    I would then buy some things I want (which isn’t very much at all. Just like a new pc or something. That’s pretty much it for now.) id save the rest of it up.

    I would do something that guarantees I'm included on Wikipedia, and then live off the grid the rest of my life.

    Start my own business in Bulgaria. The only trouble is getting the money to Bulgaria. Cause you can't travel with so much cash and if you put it in the bank, tax agencies are gonna be on your ass.

    My best bet would be for a friend of mine to open a business in Bulgaria that's not linked to either of our names, I get "hired" part time as a representative and I buy various heavy machinery (truck, excavator, tractor, etc...) in Germany for the business. I find a legitimate job in Bulgaria, get ready to move and leave Germany and in 6 months I sell all the equipment (probably at a slight loss), money goes into the company account, I drain that and never look back. The company might attract the police at some point, but if there are no links to me, or my buddy - we are golden.

    Easy, clean money ready for investments and careful spending.

    Dump it into the bank with good rates so my 2 million dollars actually works for me to make me a decent salary.

    I would find out who put it there and why. Chances are they are ill-gotten gains and using it would be foolish.

    Pay off my, my brother's and my father's student loans and pay for my brother's second bachelor's degree, give some to a refugee charity, use the rest to get my parents the best retirement home/nursing home I can afford, then become a nun.

    Lol jk. Probably sit on it until my mum forced me to buy property with it.

      I'd get a 1960s vintage, red Mustang convertible, some diamonds, and some minor work done to keep my face looking young.

    I would put that all into my bank account.

    Then use some of it to buy a house.

    I would buy a house, but not a mansion. I would like a beautiful house to live in,and fix it to just the way I like it. It would have exposed brick wall in the living room and kitchen. I'd also buy some new furniture, but keep some of my old stuff. And it would be in the suburbs,with a beautiful green lawn, and trees.
