If I had a million dollars . . .

[Vania16]

The PowerBall out here is up to $120 million dollars! I'm not really a lottery player, but it's always fascinating to me to think of what I would do with that much money, or even just a million dollars LOL! I think my first purchases would have to be a home here in Tucson and one in Michigan near my parents, but after that I think I'd buy a Mac complete with all the latest and greatest! How about you?

It's almost an overwhelming question to think about for me. . . . .hmmm! I would definitely buy some vacation homes so I can get away from this cold weather, but we would want to come back and ski. I could finally afford to outfit my family with ski gear and lessons, that would be fun. Then I would have to schedule a massage and facial for myself!

I would invest in some realestate (boring I know) and buy a MAC and and a laptop, and a new fancy scmancy camera, and a boat for dh (a nice bass fishing boat). I think that is about it on my "dream big list!" LOL! Adn I would definitly give some to charities.

[LisaWhitney]

Ahhhh.... I would travel. That is one of my other passions but just can't afford it unfortunately. Yeah and a nice home in some tropical place to get away would be nice as well. I would love to be able to sample some fancy schmancy chef cuisines (yeah, I know, I watch way too much foodTV). And lastly a monster of a 4X4 that I could totally go off-roading with, lol!!!

ooooh...I am already planning on becoming a millionaire, and I know exactly what I will do with my spending money:)


Buy my Dream home
Buy a vacation home
Start a major company- with all the right employees and tools
Hire an attorney, accountant, chef, maid, personal assistant, publicist and other helpers
Give money to family and friends
Give money to charity and start my own charity movement
Build my dream studio and fill it full of all the expensive tools I need for my work
Buy land and develop a "no-kill" pet shelter for unwanted and abused animals
Write my life story


I am an impatient perfectionist, so while I could do some of those things slowly over time, I feel I would be more effective if I had the money upfront to do it all right and right away.

Oh yeah baby...dream home and traveling would be at the tops of my list. I'd probably quit designing for awhile and take some classes and come back with a vengeance hehehe. I love the idea of investing somehow in digital scrapbooking industry but anyway it's all pipedreams anyhoo. ;)

Is it weird that I can't even think about it? I wont let myself. This all dates back to a semi-tramatic childhod event in which my Mom convinced us that it was very possible for us to win the publishers clearing house. I was crushed that we didn't win. We spent months talking about how our lives would change.

Ok, sorry to bring down the thread, lol.

My point is, that I'm happy with the things I have in my life. I live in this moment. :) Not that winning money wouldn't be fun. ;)

*mwah*

Wouldn't it be nice to not have to worry about finances?
I would:
-Design and build my dream home
-Give DH money to build his own racing co-op.
-Give money to some of the churches in my hometown so they can expand/upgrade
-Give money to battered women's shelters
-Put money away for each of my kids' educations
-Buy a boat and travel bus
-Take a year off and travel the world
-Buy a home in St. Vincent/The Grenadines
-Take my family and my friend and her family for the ultimate Disney vacation

[Sonorazona]

Start a charity that supports organizations that work with underprivledged and/or abused children. Yeah, I'd build me a new house also, and do a lot of traveling.

[DianneRigdon]

I get it Sara! I used to be crushed every year by that too lol. Darn that Ed McMahon! LOL.

I try not to think about these things too terribly much because to do so would indicate a dissatisfaction with my current blessings, of which there are MANY lol. But....it is kinda fun to think about for a few minutes. I personally think it would be horrible to win like 120 mill - too much pressure.....I'd take a few hundred thou off yer hands tho lickety split! Heheheheeh.
