WWYD?

Today's megamillion just got me wondering, if you win the lotto, what would you do with the money?

Re: WWYD?

  • I would pay off our debt, sell our house or rent it out and buy a bigger one by the beach, help family members pay off their debt, invest some, buy a bigger family car... Oh, there are so many thing I would do... Dream a little dream.
  • Pay off my bills including my house, put 1/2 of it into savings and investments, buy a couple of investment properties since everything is so cheap right now, kick some $$$ down to my parents (pay off their house), and help my Godmother and Sister with their houses. THEN I would go play a little bit- take a LONG vacation- I'm thinking a 30 day cruise around the Mediterranean. 

    I'd send my hubby to RN school full time, keep working at my job until he got out and started making $$$, then I'd pursue my Ph.D. and maybe go to culinary school for fun  :)

  • Oh, yes, a long vacay! Maybe to Tahiti and Fiji.
  • Pay off the house, buy a new house, pay both my sisters college tuitions, get a new car for H and I, buy my dad the mini cooper he's wanted forever, take a trip around the world, then give the rest to my company to invest since we do personal investments for high net worth individuals ha!
  • Wow, that would be awesome.

    Pay off our debt, buy a house in az & cali (I truly do love az). Help family/friends out (the economy suckass), put away money for yearly family trips. For the whole family P & mine. We would take over the world one continent at a time.

    Live simple & retire young! Retire & travel, travel, travel! :D

    The cartoon Pinky and the Brain comes to mind with your quote:"Are you pondering what I'm pondering Pinky" - sorry, I just had to do it. World domination sounds like fun! I'll help! :)

  • sighhhhh... if only.
  • Oh! This is fun! Ok pay off this house and rent it to our friends. Get a nice house up in Santa Barbara area. Start a college fund for all the babies in my life.Then travel travel travel. Travel to Tahiti, Scotland, Spain, France, Italy, Sweden, Russia, Japan, you name.

    And after I get all the traveling out of my system, go back to school full time.

    Genius!

  • I would submit a resignation to my employer Big Smile. I would pay off my student loans, mortgage, and car. Probably buy another house. Put aside a large chunk for R's education (and any subsequent kids). Maybe invest some. And of course travel!
  • Move to New Zealand and become a heli-ski guide.

    ?

    C'mon ladies, did ya think I'd say anything different??

  • This may sound synacle, but the very first thing I would do is get myself a lawyer and an account. People who would keep me from losing my head with it. Of course pay off debts, buy a house or two or three and some toys (cars, boat etc.) help out family (with stipulations, I honestly don't really trust FIL to not blow the money instead of getting them out of debt), an invest like crazy, live off the interest. I'd quit my job and do something I really want to do, like start a counceling center for kids of some kind. And travel like crazy.
