What does it feel like to have all that money?
It feels freeing to have all of that money. There would be a lot less my family and I would need to worry about in finances. I would be free from the burden of having to worry about money. It would also feel overwhelming to have all of that money all of a sudden. I might not know exactly what to do with it right away. I would feel a little frightened because there could be people who may try to harm my family to get the money.

What will you do with it?
First, my family would probably pay off all of our bills and whatnot. Then we would put most of it in the bank to save for when it is needed. With the rest if it we would donate to various charities to help those in need.

What conflicts might arise among family members and others?
I think the money could have both positive and negative outcomes. There are serious problems that could arise from this situation. For instance, people could try to break in and steal some money or something. Also, some might not agree what we do with the money and how we spend it which could create conflicts. Some people might try to get close to my family to try and receive some of the benefits of the money. This could also be problematic because we wouldn't know who is really friends with us or just in it for the money. In addition, others may think that we would become stuck up just because of this money which would be one of the negative results.
