Stolen from ML: Congrats! You've won the lottery...
To make it a nice round number, it's $500 million after taxes.
What are you going to do with the money?
And go!
Re: Stolen from ML: Congrats! You've won the lottery...
Pay off our loan, buy DH a desperately needed new car, buy a house, invest, and maybe hire a weekly or bi-weekly cleaning lady to at the very least vacuum and dust. A girl can dream, right?
I'd definitely still work.
Photo bomb, yeah!
67/200
(1) Pay of H's Cadet Loan
(2) Save some for our kid's education
(3) Give my mom a couple million (if she would even take it)
(4) Save some for my Nephew and Lil Bro's education
(5) Pay off my Grandparent's debt
(6) Pay for Myself and H to get a Masters
(7) Buy a plane for H to fly our family -- Save some to travel the world
(8) Buy myself a new car
(9) Buy a cabin in Minnesota
(10) Donate the rest (prolly around 200 mil)
If you ask H he would pay of his Cadet Loan and Invest the rest.
67/200
I think I'll add personal/family Chef
Buy a modest, but lovely home. Pay off college debt, since my education is doing me so much good these days in sahm-ville. Put a $25 million in a trust for each kid. Put $25 mil in savings. Pay off what little debt we have left. Buy a small vacation home in HHI. The rest gets split up between various charities we support.
I'd open a doggy daycare to secure future income and send my dogs there for play time every day. That sounds like heaven.
I can get on board with that.

And then I'd hire a babysitter so I can come eat at your house. I'll hire my wine guy to come up with something fancy and I'll bring it with.
I should answer my own question!
Pay off our debt.
Give like $10 million to each set of parents and each sibling.
Buy a new house--nothing ridiculous, but lovely. Hire a housekeeper.
Replace my car.
Donate to charities, our churches, my hometown.
Pay for IVF/Adoption--4 kiddos.
Put money aside for private school and college, and some sort of trust when they're 30.
I wouldn't work. But I'd volunteer, be involved with civic organizations full time.
Travel, travel, travel! Everywhere.
Invest and live off the interest.
Pay off student loan.
Get a functional car that isn't sitting in the shop until Monday. My expensive tastes make me want a new impreza. Fancy!
Travel only in business/first class.
Travel a lot. I don't want to own any homes/vacation homes, but I'll rent them.
Hire a maid and a personal assistant (I hate remembering to pay bills and deal with mail).
Other than that, I can't really see much of my life changing until H's commitment is up. If it is, I still don't see that much changing b/c we'd just live off interest.
As long as I get a lay flat bed I'm good.
Korean Air is a top airline? I've flown them, although only in coach. Nothing special, plus nasty food.
I've heard Eva and Singapore are the good airlines to fly if you can afford them.
Pay off student loans, go to grad school without student loans.
Pay off our house.
Pay off E's parent's house. They want to sell it to retire and if we bought them out and gave them some money the land could stay in the family. Which is really important to E.
Make donations to the charities we support.
Start college funds and such for our children.
Invest and live off the interest.
I think I would love to start a doxie rescue too.
Pay off debt. (Not to get anything shiny and new, but to be debt free is my big thing.)
Finish school/Grad School.
Pay off parents and sibling's debt.
Give to charity. (A huge chunk would go to the Huntington's Disease Society of America.)
Move my mom out of her nursing home, into a place where she can have a full time nurse, but live comfortably.
Then, put it ALL away and live on the interest.
Living off the interest would allow us to continue work and have fun traveling.
Man, I can't even imagine what it'd be like.
- buy a house
- pay off cars
- set up trusts for kids
- set up college funds and wedding funds for kids
- save a lot of it
- charity
- give $1 million to all 3 sets of parents
- give some money to all my family members (rather small family)
Build a house on land in Texas, equipped with guest homes for our dear friends and when the grandparents come to visit. Each set would have their own personal guest cottage, so they would feel at home when they visited and both sets could visit at the same time. I would also equip all of the homes with solar panels, including what ever barns there were.
Get new cars.
A few horses and people to care for them.
Invest it. I would put a ton in a low risk, then some in a high risk investment I would let my brother handle for me.
H would prob finish his contract out here, so we would end up doing a lot of traveling, I think while he finishes up. I would do research on what charities to donate, and how to set up our accounts with money for our children.
Then, I would see how long it would take for his mom to come scavenging.
A plane. I would totes get a plane w/ a personal pilot to visit our friends and family around the world.
I might be out of money by now, lol. But there would definitely be a staff at the Texas Estate, haha.
It should be noted. William is a jerk about toys. I bet y'alls dogs would teach him quick though.
I changed my name
