Let's Daydream- If you won that big azz lottery drawing...

what would you do with all that dough? Chat Icon

I would finish the school year, then quit, probably. But I'd want to do something with my time (till we have kids, anyway). I'd love to open a bookstore or start a non-profit to help inner city kids and/or schools, maybe something arts related. We'd pay off the house and DH thinks we should move back to LI Chat Icon since we could actually afford something nice finally! Though I've really come to love our little town and I'd miss it, I'd rather get something bigger up here. And we'd help our families out.

Finally, I'd have a Coach bag for every day of the week. Chat Icon

First things first, I would quit my job and I am sure Danielle would too.

I may open a car detailing business, or a Book store or something. Something to take up my time would be nice.

Sell our house in Levittown and buy something in South Bellmore, South Merrick or Wantagh.

Give money to our parents and family.

Buy new Expensive cars

Buy a few vacation homes

Goto EUROPE

And Back to Sandals Grande St Lucian in St Lucia

Re: Let's Daydream- If you won that big azz lottery drawing...

First - meet with a financial planner
Second - Give 10% to charity/church, invest 75% of it, live off 15% and the interest.
Third - pay off house & bills
Fourth - DH & I would quit our jobs
Fifth - buy a bigger house, or stay here and build on to our current one.
Sixth - New cars, clothes, etc. if we have $$ left to burn.

I read in a book that most people who win the lottery are broke within 5-8 years. I would want to live off the interest and investments so that we would not be broke down the road.

Re: Let's Daydream- If you won that big azz lottery drawing...

I actually don't know if I would quit working, I like what I do. I would probably work less.

I would buy a house and a nice Manhattan apt.
I would pay for all of my nieces & nephews to go to college.
I would plan great vacations to see all the places I have wanted to go to.
I would invest most of it, and donate some of it.

We would quit our jobs

Give money to our families.

Buy a larger place in NYC and something out west.

Travel a bit.

Open a scrapbook studio - not a store. A place for people to GTG and scrap with friends. Nothing fancy, but charming.

Do charity work.

I don't know what DH would do with his time - probably plan vacations. Chat Icon

DH and I would both HAPPILY quit our jobs!

we would then buy a house on LI, and probably 1 or 2 more in other places.

we would both get new cars. Audi A8 for me and an M5 for DH Chat Icon

both our parents have no debt (thank GOD), so we would just give them a chunk of $$ and let them have fun Chat Icon

that's a good start Chat Icon

I would definitely invest a decent chunk of it. Then I would buy a house in Babylon on the water. My DH and I would quit our jobs and I would definitely give money to family along with paying off anything owed. Chat Icon
