If you had a million dollars to give away, who would you give it to?

Realistically I can’t think of anyone who would give away a million dollars even if they did have it to give. Things are so expensive nowadays and people need to live. On a personal level though, if I had to choose who I would give a million dollars to, it would be mom so she can retire. The last couple years of her life have been rather hard on her and this year it only got worse. She missed about four months worth of work over what happened but I’m going to be honest in saying that she is at an age where she should be retiring as the consequences of not doing so could be deadly. Why has she not retired you ask? Well, it’s for the classic reason of “I can’t afford to.” Having said all of this, she has told me about plans she would have if she was to retire and those plans include me. She says she would come over to my house every day and spend more time with me in general. Unfortunately, she does not make enough money to retire. For this reason, if I had a million dollars, I would give it to her so she can retire.
