When I win the power ball, I will....

[houseelf]

1. Quit working
2. Take college classes for the rest of my life.
3. Travel every corner of the Earth.
4. Join a running club and hire a personal trainer.

What will you all do?

[fluffhead]

We don't need more than a couple million 8)
So if the jackpot is one of these obscene ones, I'll establish a foundation for the rest of it and give grants to worthy causes like alternative fuel research, desalination, and NORML

[Auspicious]

I should probably already know this, but what's NORML stand for?

[Meenah]

Pay off our debts.

Spend a third (including elimination of debt), save a third, give away a third.

How much money are we talking about here?

-Get rid of student loan debt, so that Sallie Mae can leave us alone.
-Divide it into trust funds for our kids
-give some to our families
-give some to our church
-give some to charities
-spend some on nothing important but fun!!!

Pay off our debt.
Finish our house--then sell it and buy something bigger and better. We'd finish our old house first just so we'd have the satisfaction of completing this task we have poured a lot of sweat equity in.
Buy myself a new car, one for hubby, too. He could finally get one of those big trucks with huge wheels that are so classy!
Just so I don't sound totally self-absorbed--I'd do something to help out a good cause as well and give some to our church.
And, I'd give some to family--I'm sure my greedy cousins would start coming out of the woodwork!

I would so quit vet school.

[PrincessFiona]

money, money, money

1. Pay off our debt
2. Pay off my Mom's debt and pay to have the foundation on her house fixed and to have her house remodeled.
3. Buy matching furniture for all of our rooms
4. Plan a trip to a disney resort
5. I think I would invest some of it into the newsletter to make it a 'real' newsletter...and I would start a scholarship fund for medical spouses who want to go to college or who have been in college but want to finish their degrees.
6. OK, OK....and give away money to charity 8)

First, I would give each relative an amount- to be determined by where they are in the family tree- closer relatives get more.

Then, I would contact the Army and the Air Force and see how much we and our friends owe back- pay it back and then buy this island off Santa Barbara. The four of us have this big Bed and Breakfast/Winery/Brewery destination resort plan. (and my husband and his co-worker would travel in to SB once a week to pull call, her husband who is an incoming er resident can do his normal shift work and I'll hold down the fort. They want to keep their toes in!)

Hire a personal trainer (which, due to the beer and wine, I will need)

Travel, travel, travel (which means hiring someone to run the Resort while we're off playing)

1.I would pay off bills

2. I would provide college education for my nieces and nephews if a scholarship was not awarded

3. Invest wisely

4. Buy plenty of real estate

5. Travel

6. Help those who are in need

7. Throw money in the street throughout the year in different cities

8. Oh, I would give my dh some money after he read in the paper I won.

Just kidding, everything I listed is off the top of my head(but realistic and some things I would definitely consider), but if I really won, I would so meditate before making any major decisions beause that is the time when we create so many "new" friends and family members you hadn't seen in like forever always seem to resurface. So, with all that being said, I am not sure what I would do, but most importantly investing would be at the top of the list.
