Default Re: will / going to

I don't understand this, in this sentence.

going to = plan to (o.k.)

Example:
I ask you: What will you do with all the money you have?

I don't know, what you have planned to do with it, and I also don't know if you have already a plan what you will do with it.

Your answer could be:
1.) I am going to drive on holiday next month.
2.) I will spend it for poor, ill children in Africa (That could be a statement on the spur of the moment, so you have to use "will").

Do you know what I mean?

Kind regards,
Dany
