If You Won the Lottery What Would You Do With the $$$$$

bright_arrow · 11-28-2012, 09:39 PM

Pay off debts
Buy a new truck
Put a chunk away for 4 years at a university for the kiddo, plus money for a car
Pay off our house
Put some away for emergency funds [yes, seriously]
Pay off my parent's house, or at least a good chunk of it [It is $250,000-ish]
Buy my mom a new vehicle
Maybe buy my sister one
Invest some
Possibly quit my job depending on the amount, after banking some for retirement
Looking into getting our dream cabin built somewhere on some lands, and the boi a John Deere

In that order too, I think.

I'd buy an accessible van for my kiddo. Then I'd bare my backside to my boss and point to the exact spot she could kiss.

The first thing I'd do is put my winnings in a trust. Then I would pay off every debt I owe, that's even going through my credit reports and making sure it's 100 % clear. Then I would donate to my church and probably some local food banks, because it sucks when you look in your cupboard and there is nothing there. I would also make sure the food banks have cat and dog food available for those people in need because if people are struggling to feed themselves and their families they are most certainly having trouble coming up with money to buy their pets' food.

Then I would give my Mom and step dad money, they're not poor but they are on a budget and screw that! They have given to me and done without, so the favor would be repaid. They would never have to worry about money again. Ever. I would also take care of my close family members. They are all good loving people. I've been very blessed to have such wonderful step brothers and sisters. My one blood brother and his wife would be well taken care of because when I was down and out they took me in, fed me, gave me a room with no board and never once complained. They showed me kindness that you really only read about in stories. It's a humbling thing, really. So I would want to make sure they were set for life.

I don't have a ton of friends but the ones I do have have been so wonderful. I'm really blessed with my friends so I would take care of them like they took care of me.

Then the fun would begin. Oh yeah, a new truck. A new house on the lake. A boat. I would probably work but I'd open a bait shop. There would also be lots and lots of fishing vacations.

I would buy this old farmhouse and restore it.
It doesnt show the barn which is twice as big as the house.
It's a "how highs the water mama" house and its likely been
flooded atleast once in 100 years.
11 foot ceilings , character for days , She is a beauty.
