5000 Comments Fifth Anniversary 500 Love Its First Answer
edited March 2014 in Getting Pregnant
So you just won $10,000,000, like right now as you read this. You haven't claimed it yet, but have the ticket in your hand before you claim the money and do as you wish with it. You want to buy yourself a treat to celebrate but don't have $10,000,000 yet. How much do you spend out of your own money to celebrate?

Comment as to what you'd spend the celebratory spending on.

    Not telling you anything! If I won that kind of money no one would know because I would hide it from people so they don't come begging me for money (anyone who has ever read about my in-laws will understand why). No habit changes that anyone could notice.

    You don't have to tell anyone. But you wouldn't celebrate yourself at all, even with something small like a pedicure or massage?

  • Nothing...I'd be too in shock.  

    Now, once that money is in my pocket (so to speak), I'll probably buy all the things.

  • I would probably be in too much shock to do anything.  I'm the "believe it when I see it" type, so I would probably wait til I got the check before I did anything.  First thing I'd do after that is go on an elaborate vacation.
