    No, money is only a form of energy. What would I use a million dollars for it my i suffereed as much as I would from that?

    I could travel the world with a million dollars but I can do that now. If I focus, pray and follow up on inner guidance and I don't bother.

    I like where I live. I would have cable but it's not worth it my nose is stuck in the computer most of the time anyway. I could give others the money but they have theres and can manifest theres in other ways. No, It wouldn't be worth it to me. I don't know that I would survive the stress and if I would have Post Trumatic Stress after that anyway.

    Couldn't live to tell about it, or spend the money. The south pole on Neptune is about 14F degrees, warmer than the Earth's South Pole, but wouldn't survive that either. Good question.

    As hot as it is today, the South Pole sounds really good; but, I would have to turn it down because after 1 hour hypothermia will have already set in.

    You would be dead in 15 minutes. Anyway, a million dollars is really not very much nowadays. After taxes, invested at current rates of interest, it wouldn't allow you to live in a decent one-bedroom apartment. It takes about $50,000 a year to live decently and where could you get 8% interest on what was left of the million after taxes?

    I spent 13 months in Antarctica...1972-1973. Today it is -21º F. At the Pole, it's even colder. I'd pass.

    No way. I'm wearing a sweater and light jacket when south Florida dips below 65 degrees. Golf anyone ?

    I wouldn't be alive for the day so would that still count to collect?

    I could always will the funds to someone.I wouldn't be around the spend any of the money myself.
