California lawyers Victor and Tammy Jih form the brother-sister team who won The Amazing Race 14, and are now $1 million richer. When asked about the first thing they'd do with the million, Tammy responded:
I took my entire law school education out in loans so I will be paying that back. It would have taken me 10 years of working to pay those back so it will be nice to not be saddled with such an enormous debt. I have been coveting a pair of black peeptoe Christian Louboutins.
Victor will also use a portion of his share to pay down debt. What would you do with a $1 million prize?

Good for them.
Personally, I would invest it.
1For me, I'd definitely pay off all debt, then whatever is left, I'd invest a majority of it, and use some of it to splurge for a new laptop and a new TV, and maybe a couple of games.
2pay off debt and buy a house.
3well for them, it's only 500K each whereas a married couple would have the whole mill to play with
i'd pay my loans first but then i'd still have a large sum so i'd buy a house
4I'd pay off my house and then invest the rest.
5Pay off any debts, buy a few nice things, invest.
6It's really not THAT much money --- esp. after Uncle Sam takes his cut !
I'd buy a house and invest the rest.. maybe buy a couple of nice things (shoes, bags)
7Stop working so I could attend school full time. It depresses me that it's going to take me four years to get a two year degree.
8Invest and buy a house.
9Clear short-term debt, keep the mortgage revolving. Continue to work. $50k into a custodial invest account for the kid, keep $50k liquid, and the rest into traditional investment/trading/options/currency. I'll probably end up buying a used 7-Series. A mill really isn't that much to go nuts with. And it's a one-time injection.
10I'd buy a house - especially now when prices are slightly better in the LA area. Then, if I wasn't paying rent or was paying less on a mortgage I could save more. Best of both worlds!
11Pay off our house and student loans, build a new house on our land, and invest the rest of it. Maybe we'd buy another car as well, but we wouldn't waste the money.
12Pay off loans, debts. Then put the rest away until I feel it's safe to invest.
They won? What?! Argh I really really hoped it would be somebody else...ANYBODY else.
13live at disneyland until the money ran out
i'm 10 on the inside
