6. Write an essay (120-150 words) using your plan from exercise 5. Include an introduction and a conclusion like the model in exercise 2.

Answer:

So depending on how much leeway I get there are two alternatives one being more selfish (ie I benefit but am not spending on myself) and the other less selfish.

First would be to put the money into some sort of chartiable annuity to see some personal return. That is the easy one.

The other alternative which took a bit more thought as I can’t spend any of the money in a way that I will see a direct impact either financially or otherwise would be to buy up some untouched land and donate it for public use such as a public park or national forest. Seems like the longest lasting mechanism that can give back to the community and protect a bit of the environment as well.

Other charities perhaps to but parks are good for communities so that would be my personal focus.
