Ask HN: What would you do with $1M?

Not an additional $1M. If your account(s) had a $1M balance right now, what would you do with it?

Invest it? Stocks? Index funds? Startups?

Start a business? Buy a business? What kind?

Splurge on something? Pay off debt?

Pay off my mortgage, do a masters, have a nice holiday. Probably not the most financially sensible thing, but its what I would like to do.

Guess i would invest most of it stock index investing would be enough. Then i would do some travelling. I may not give up on my job right away even tho in my country the 4% from the 1M would be enough.

Stocks most likely, I kind of wish I knew how to start a business.

Here's my crazy idea that there's 0% chance of me starting.

General Aviation plane. It will look an awful lot like a B2 bomber. Rooftop solar panels on the top surface, this baby is parking outside.

2 EDF sourced out of the automotive crate engine options. Chevy bolt supplychain probably? Aiming for 400-600kw combined.

2 battery packs and speed control. You have a lever which picks 1 or the other battery pack. Solar charges the one not being used by the motors.

Everything is redundant. Who doesn't want to own this already?

But it would be a more advanced GA plane, retracting gear, twin engine, etc. Most likely a 02 bottle system and not pressurized. Probably limiting it to below 18,000feet.

The purpose? Not only will the bomber be able to manage the weight of 2 car battery packs, it also carries food to remote places. Food scarcity in the far north of Canada for example is it's purpose. It would have hundreds of km range, it can get high no problem.

The key problem would be runway, it likely requires a rather massive runway. especially when it has ~20,000lbs of food in its bomb bay.
