Title: You're a new MILLIONAIRE!!!!!
Post by: unojuno on June 09, 2009, 09:39:17 am
Ever dreamed of winning the lotto, or inheriting your deceased old Uncle Buster's fortune? How would you distribute the wealth?  :thumbsup:

I have always said that if we won a large sum of money, I would cruise around the local grocery store watching for those moms and dads that look like they are really struggling and pay for their purchases in their buggies.  Dont ask why, just always thought that would be a good way to give back no questions asked.

My husband and I talk about this all the time. If we won an absurd amount of money, we'd buy a huge yacht and staff it with a chef, a maid, and a professional deep sea fisherman. We'd then invite our closest family and friends to join us as we sailed all over the world and ate nothing but what we caught in the ocean. It'd be very Captain Nemo without all the bitterness for humanity.   :fish:

We'd also donate a lot to charities.

If I even had an Uncle Buster who was wealthy (which I don't), he probably wouldn't remember me in his will anyway..but if HE DID..........I would probably donate half to any reputable animal rescue organization; assist the aged in any possible way..help out needy friends, and if there's any left..fix my darn leaking roof!!!

If I became a MILLIONAIRE, I would give my family some money.  My friends would be next to receive some money.  After I have given out money, I would move to a new house in a different part of the state.  I have come to realize that when people know you have money, then tend to keep coming back for more.  Not sure if my family and friends would do this, but I would not take the chance.  Of course I would tell my parents where I am, or better yet, move them with me.  :angel12:

I would pay off all my bills and buy a house. Then I would try to pay off some of my families bills and put money away for the kids. I would invest the rest. Oh after I bought a new car of course. I wish I could win the lotto but I never buy the tickets. I don't have very good luck. Maybe I should start someday.

Every time the powerball gets really big my wife and I will look on http://www.privateislandsonline.com/ to shop for the island we are going to buy.  We've pretty well settled on a 45 acre one between Nassau and Florida.  The island comes with two houses which we figure would be perfect for all the people who come visit us.

Although we were also seriously considering a resort island that was for sale in Belize.

And - I'm the one who will hide it under the mattress - after I travel the world.

1st thing would be to pay off student loans and other debt, then finish school. I'd give a bunch to my mom for always helping me out, buy my dad a new house, and probably save the rest. I'd live frugally off of it for a while I'm sure.
