WWYD: If you win Saturday's Powerball

[lostineden]

Start one hell of a trust fund for E. Hire a personal trainer. Buy new cars. Pay off my house. Build a pool. Pay off my student loans. Pay my & DH's parents' and grandparents' mortgages. Go on one hell of a vacation - Argentina, South Africa, the Azores, Greek islands, China, Southeast Asia...

Tell no one.

Pay off all our debt. Buy a bigger house. Get a house cleaner for that house. Have 2-3 more kids. Get a car to fit all 4-5 kids. And enjoy all the worldly experiences with my now larger family.

Buy/pay off houses for parents, grandparents, and siblings.

Hire a dog entertainer.

What does a dog entertainer do exactly?

1. Quit my job.
2. Pay off all debts for parents & siblings (dh's side too)
3. Go on a relaxing wonderful month long vacation with my family.
4. Buy a new house
5. Basically whatever I wanted after that cuz that's a ton of money. Lol

Hopefully entertain my extreme attention seeking dog.

Pay off debts. Build a house, buy a couple floors of condos downtown Chicago, move my parents back to Chicago with a private nurse/ housekeeper.
Vacation in Europe. With a nanny.

Do all the boring stuff re:bills, college fund, etc. Then buy a nice cabin in the mountains. A big one with huge windows, on a large piece of land because #noneighbors. And pay someone to decorate it. I'd fix up our current house and sell it, then buy a two story with a two car garage and a pool.

Once I got done using littlecabbage1019 's ice skating rink, I'd:

1. Start a foundation that lets working moms have longer maternity leaves.



2. Everyone's mortgages get paid off.



3. ALL the rescue dogs and cats.

+1 on the foundation! One of my goals IRL is to lobby for this.

I think mine is an echo of almost everyone's here: pay off debt, my dads and ILs house, set my mom up on a monthly income so she can have her own place (probably buy her one too), college funds, bigger house, but some buildings in my city's downtown and help spur the Renaissance there with affordable space for small businesses, fund the maternity leave foundation, build my church a building, and then hire a nanny and housekeeper so DH and I could both finish school and find our dream jobs because I oddly love working, but would love to work for a reason other than money.

I'm sure there's more but that would keep me busy the first year.
