Dreamers...

what would be the first 5 things you'd do if you won the lottery?

I'm having a slow day at work...so dreaming of making $$$ is usually what I sit here doing...

1. take out 15% for pesonal "fun" money
2. Invest 25% in low risk CDs, Bonds and such.
3. Invest 25% in a higher risk portfolio
4. Use the rest to pay off student loans and other random debt.
5. Continue on with life as if it didn't happen and wait till I'm 35 or 40 to reap the benifits of my investing.

1. Change my phone number
2. Hire a really good accountant
3. Do what my really good accountant says
4. See #3
5. See #4

(it would probably end up being pay off debts, then set aside money for retirement, etc.)

1> Pay off my debt.
2> Setup my nieces and nephews so they're all paided up for any college expenses they want.
3> Buy a nice bit of land somewhere semi-remote in Florida and have a nice house built on it, incuding a small hanger.
4> Get a small plane able to land on a short grass runway, get licensed to fly it, and use that to travel to the local DZ from my home when I feel like going out to make some jumps(why drive?).
5> Start up my own business that I'd enjoy doing.

Very nice...I've been thinking...it always changes...I used to think I'd do this, then that, then this...now, I think the first thing I'd do is:

1. Quit my job
2. Pay off the house (and whatever other miniscule debts there are)
3. lay low for a while and just vacation, skydive, kayak, play golf, basically just wake up and do whatever the hell I want...then once the initial dust has settled and I can relax and think more clearly...I'd probably:
4. donate to charity (including a set amount for each family member; why try to spend it for them? just give them X amount and be done with it), buy a new house on a lake in the sticks, and invest the hell out of the rest
5. no worries, just have fun.

Call block Paris Hilton.

As my boy-toy always says, "What the hell is the deal w/ Paris Hilton. I mean, what does she do?"

Ha ha ha! (Since we seem to see her picture EVERYWHERE) I think it's the same picture and then just put a new outfit on her via the computer...you know...cause she's always making that same face/pose.

Live off the intrest if it was enough.


Otherwise take like 10% as spending and lock the rest up till it is enough to live off of

She thinks she owns me cause she's rich and buys me nice clothes. Wrong.

You never see her "O" face except at my place.

People to whom you owe money want to know if you can switch 3 and 4.

5 doesn't matter. Beggers can't be choosers.

Thank you.

1, Book into a health farm for a couple of weeks to detox and get a little bit healthier. In order to;
2, (Father Jack voice) DRINK (Vintage House in London have a nice 1926 Macallan at 26000GBP per bottle.......should go well with a splash of coke)
3, Buy a selection of the biggest baddest cars going and fill the works car park during the night (reserved spaces and all).
4, Pay off the house and the credit card.
5, Spread a bit of the luck around.

Experience is a series of non-fatal errors.

Just an update. Even though I did not win the lottery. I did fix the hole in the driveway last weekend. Also, I've been sleeping later. I blame my lateness on road conditions.
