 Topic: What are you going to do with the $14mil
Posted: 20 March 2008 at 9:45pm |
if you win it this weekend? Aaaaahhhhh, dreams are free!
But seriously, I would pay off the mortgages of everyone I know, buy a few cars (yes, a few), which means I will need a bigger garage, take DS to visit his Great Nana in Oz as she has never seen him. Oh, and never worry about the fact that I resigned today ever again!

Ummm...lets see....the usual....get debt free...help friends and family out...contribute to some sort of church project....buy a house/car/whole new wardrobe (from overseas) and do the huge worldwide holiday thing (to buy said new wardrobe because I could afford the shipping charges and excess baggage)...think that is about it.

You resigned today? Well then you deserve to win - it's always horrible resigning.
I have to make that choice soon too 
Edit to add: We'd by an Aston Marton for DH - then he could never again contemplate naming future sons after the object of his affections.

Hmm.... retreat away into the country, buy 12 million dollars worth of land, build our own small house, and plant our own native reserve.

If I had unlimited funds I'd quit work, pay off the mortgage and invest the rest in a way that it would pay our living exp for the rest of our lives. Then I'd foster/adopt more kiddies and do it jointly with DH!

Oh, come on! You guys are all far too sensible.
What is something you've always wanted to do, and could do with the right amount of money?
Does anyone remember the playdough kit, Snackshop? When I used to play with it, I would dream of one day owning a real life ice-cream parlour and sell hot dogs and burgers and chips! mmmmmmmmmmm

Sorry guys. I am buying the winning ticket on Saturday 3 people I worked with have won 1st division and it is now my turn 
When (not if) I win apart from the boring stuff I would buy an tropical island, deck it out with everything I ever wanted, and maybe even let DH have a motorcross bike

i would get debt free, buy an investment property, a new car, a home at a beach, and new bedroom furniture for us,tash and most likely the twins, buy our own farm(but put a manager on it so we can live at the beach, make a donation to a few of our favourite charities, and shop with a certian ammount and then i guess invest the rest and have some put away for the kids education.
i actually think df would keep working though. i seriously doubt he not be able to not work. he would have to be doing something more then just fishing all day every day.
