Oh, this is one of those “what if?” moments we all like to imagine happening, isn’t it? But how much money are we talking about here? $50,000? $500,000? A million? 15 million? 350 MEELLION DOLLARS??? Seriously, I have contingency plans for all of those scenarios, because I have an overactive imagination and an empty wallet.
If it were a smaller amount of money I’d just use it to pay off most of my debt (not the mortgage, but definitely school loans and such) buy a new (-er) car, and save the rest for a rainy day. A dream amount? Like 300 million+? The first thing I’d do is split it with my parents, because they deserve it, and they would do the same for me. Probably. Next I’d pay for me and my friends to have one kick ass vacation. What else would I do….?
Retire from healthcare
Move out of Allentown, but keep roots in the LV. Maybe an apartment in Historic Bethlehem or an old farm house with a barn that I can turn into a kitchen/entertainemnt space like Ina Garten has. Oh, yes.
Travel freely – Africa, Asia, Europe, maybe even roam all over the States in an RV
Donate to worthy causes
Invest
Pay for Avery & Tanner’s college
Go back to school
Find my passion
Do that
Share a vacation home on an island with mom & dad
Live peacefully
Now, someone give me some winning numbers. Please?
