We are now in our like 33rd year of ministry. I have grown up there! Its a church and a school that means alot to its community. This past year we were embezzled against over 350 thousand dollars. http://www.nvdaily.com/news/2009/03/officials-woman-stole-from-church.html As you can imagine this has caused some major issues with our ministries in this economy. God is good, and I know there is a miracle out there just waiting to go to SVCA and SVBC. A million dollars would be a great start, and I would love to build a new gym or upgrade the one we have. ALL of the money would go to my church an school. chubbyjordan23@hotmail.com 540 869 4600 svbcfamily.com I work at Shenandoah Valley Christian Academy. We are now in our like 33rd year of ministry.

A million bucks is a lot, and it could help not just me and my family's financial problems, but also many others as well. I’d definitely pay it forward too.

I believe people really can jumpstart their way to a real-world million by imagining it realistically. I've been broke and I've been bankrupt (two different conditions entirely), and if you Google me you'll see that my conditions have improved. I not only know what a million dollars can and cannot buy, I have had the extraordinary privilege of giving several million dollar gifts to nonprofits. The first step to having a real million is to understand how much a million dollars is in purchasing power. Anyone who thinks a million is enough for them to be "set for life" has no idea what a catastrophic illness or accident can cost. That's why there are so many stories of lottery winners gone bust, and people like MC Hammer with tens of millions down the drain - because people really don't have a realistic concept of what money is for, what money can buy, how money WORKS. I love your imagination game - and I love that there are people playing it who are on their way to having a million in "discretionary" spending for which this game is a blueprint.

I'd create scholarships for entrepreneurs to use to pay their personal bills for one full year so that they could focus on growing their business. After that, I would pay their private health insurance until they were profitable enough to pay it on their own. I think these two issues keep would-be entrepreneurs from pursing their dreams.

It sounds like so very much money, but in a coldly practical sense, a million wouldn't begin to cover the cost of many of these dreams. And of course, the first real-world question is: What would you do with a million TAX-FREE dollars? A million dollars!

Perhaps a lot of men don't have as much imagination practice. Some great ideas being presented though. Well done. Tom This looks really interesting and yes, it’s strange that there are so few men.
