Wow, what a dream this would be. To not have to worry about money. To quit my job. Be able to buy what I want, go where I want, do what I want.
Well, its not quite that simple...
If I won the lottery, I would buy a large piece of property, somewhere that is green and your neighbors are not on top of you. Probably somewhere like Tennessee, Kentucky or even Washington or Oregon...
I would build my dream home. Not necessarily a mansion. But one with enough space for my family. I would also have little cabins all over for family and friends to stay in when they came to visit. I may have to hire someone to come cook healthy meals for me, and a personal trainer to help me finally get healthy, and every once in a while, I would have to have someone to follow me around and slap me when I want to eat all that unhealthy stuff :)
The other thing that this property would have on it is a rescued animal sanctuary. Someplace to take all those abandoned or neglected dogs, cats, whatever... There would be a house just for them and people there 24/7 so they didn't get lonely or afraid. They would have acres to run and roam...
I would also help out my family and friends with college funds for their children (because college is really important).
I would also travel and go all of the places that I talked about on Day 9 of the challenge.
I would do good in the world, I would not be like all the rich people that you see that have to have the most expensive (fill in the blank). Or the people that spend millions of dollars on a party or on a car or anything else. I would not be selfish (okay, maybe a little). I would help those in need.
Okay, can I win the lottery now?...
A rescued animal sanctuary! What a wonderful idea. :)
ReplyDeleteAnd so much fun, too!!!
DeleteI would do the same things! I'd love to move to a different piece of land, build my small dream home, and have homes elsewhere on the property for my father and in-laws. There are a couple of charities I'd like to give big checks. I'd pay off my families' bills, and I'd invest most of what's left.
ReplyDeleteYes, I would not spend recklessly (well, at least not most of it)...I'm sure there will be some luxuries!!
DeleteThat's such a nice thing to do about abandoned animals. I'd travel the world too, I guess. :)
ReplyDeleteI love animals and hate to see them mistreated. Thank You!
DeleteYou would definitely want a hypothetical house here in Washington. It doesn't get much better than the PNW

Shavon, I have never been to Washington, but it is definitely on my list to visit!!
DeleteAn animal sanctuary would be cool like that.
ReplyDeleteI think that is would be very cool, and fun, and so rewarding. Thanks, Ashley!
