How would you handle it?
For dreaming purposes, let’s say you won $240 million in the lottery. What would you do with it? Invest, splurge, both, what?
A late night conversation prompted this.
Speaking of money…
The parenting forum I run is hosting a March of Dimes drive. A year ago, a few of our moms were hit with some devastating losses and to honor them and all moms that have lost children or had children born prematurely, we are trying to raise money. I’ve donated and it would be awesome if you would like to chip in. Here is the link if you are interested (it’s tax deductable):
I think I would buy my parents a bigger house, myself a bunch of books I’ve been wanting but can’t justify buying and a car (I hate depending on my parents for rides), set aside certain amount of money for my own tuition and my siblings’ college fees, give a few millions to charity, and invest the rest.
I would still get a day job in addition to writing, but I suppose I wouldn’t stress as much about it.
Oh, those are good, Sandy!
I know I would want to travel (and get out of debt – I would never allow myself to borrow for anything ever again, so I’d have to be smart with my money, even though I know it’s an exorbitant amount). I’d take about $40 mill to blow and put the rest in the bank so that I could live off the interest each year.
There are quite a few charities that I would donate to each year, and I’d like to pick something really small to donate a large sum to, like my church’s preschool or something.
And I’d buy an loaded Range Rover. :D
