I think if i had loads of money I would open a rescue shelter or maybe help my rescue expand there work (and hire someone to help raise the profile of spaying/neutering and the rescue). Then i would finish fixing up my house, sell it, and buy a big piece of lakefront property far from my nearest neighbours (but family and friends always welcome!!) and it would definitely have a hammock, and an enclosure for the kitties!!! Then i would put aside some to pay my nephews tuitions!!!

I would....

-Pay off mine and John's debt
-Pay off my parent's debt and buy them a house in the country on a huge lot that they've dreamed of
-Buy them all new cars, and as promised - I told my oldest brother that if I ever strike it rich, I'd buy him the best Hummer money could buy - so that would be my present to him

-Build John & I our own house in the country
-Save at least 100,000 and put into savings for our future children's college funds
-Go back to school

I'd buy a brownstone with enough rooms so that DH could have a room for his painting studio, I could have a writing room/library, and the kitties could have their own room full of cat trees and other fun climby things (oh, and of course DH and I would have to have a room to sleep in too
). Maybe with all that space, I'd get a couple more kitties too. And I want a jacuzzi bathtub.


Other than that, I'd pay for my brother to go back to culinary school (he had to drop out because of lack of funds), and I'd help my parents retire. I guess I'm going to have to win a pretty big jackpot, huh?
But I would still want to have a job, but something I really enjoyed, not just work that pays bills.

in a pile of open toed shoes!
1st off I'd pay off my bills, car pymts etc...
Then I'd buy our dream home, and furnish it....
Definately vacation around the world... there is still so much of it I want to see.
I'd most likely set my little sisters up in their own condo/townhouse, paid for. They are both single moms with lousy exes....I'd also want to put a chunk away for their babies...for college, and of course Jazzy's college.
I'd try to pay off my mom's mortgage, and my dad's mortgage too, if there's enough to go around...
And savings.... I hope we're talking about 1million, even, after taxes right? Cause I wouldn't be able to do the 1st 3 if it's before taxes!

Last week, I wanted to win the California Lotto SO badly, I almost cried, when someone else won. I was up to a little over 100 Million. I know with my dreams, a mere Million wouldn't do much I mean after you've purchased one nice home, you've got your entire million spent.

WHEN not IF, I win a mega jackpot, I will buy a condo in New York City overlooking Central Park, I would also buy a condo here in LA, so I could live half the time in New York and half the time here. I would give each of my brothers and sisters a million dollars, and tell them, not to ask for any more money. I have a couple of special friends, I'd also give a million each to, as well. I would hire a housekeeper to do all of my housecleaning, and I'd hire a driver to drive my car, so I wouldn't have to drive myself.

I would give a portion of the money to Religious and Cheritable organizations.

I would then basically live off of the rest of the money, and I would have the free time, to work on graphics and logo's to my hearts desire

Oh...and I would have one wild fun filled party at Best Buy where I'd buy every electronic item and DVD my heart desires!

My list:

I would buy a toyota Prius (hybrid car) for me and my husband
Then I would put the rest into R.R.S.P.'s (so they can collect some interest)for when I want to buy my own house in 3 years.

I hated money when I was youger. I hated how people behaved when they had sudden wealth. I hated how my father abandoned us as soon as he striked rich.

However, after two years of worrying about where the next meal comes from, I no longer hated money. Now I love money. Now I want as much as possble. Now I believe that if I have lots of money I would be a thousand times happier.

I would use the money to buy a house and a car and pay it in cash. I would also finish my Ph.D.

I would pay off the house/vehicles. Pay off debts...
I would for sure help my mother, with whatever she needed. I would put some in savings, and of course for the kids as well. Then if I had any left-lol-I would go on a big ole' shopping spree, and a vacation, far far away!!
