  • Buy a decent house here, a gorgeous house somewhere warm and a private plane so I could fly back and forth (florida is a 4ish hour flight from us) That way we could still be active in my SD's life, and live somewhere warm the rest of the time :)

    Open my own Pilates studio wine shop great concept, right?!?

    There is a pilates studio in Dallas that does small concerts at night and serves wine and beer. It was really great.

    We drove around the Belle Meade area in Nashville today. Before that, I would have said we would stay in our house and just fix it up. But eff that, I'm buying a beautiful home in Belle Meade and one for my parents too.

    DH and I would start our own businesses.

    Buy a vacation home in the mountains and the beach.

    Buy a couple of Teslas.

    Invest.

  • Call our financial advisor and a lawyer.

    Tell no one else until we had all the details ironed out.

    Pay off the house, car and all other bills. Move to a bigger place, which we'd buy in cash, obviously.

    Put away enough money that our kids could have college, grad school, medical school, whatever completely covered.

    Take a long, long vacation.

    Share with close family members so they could have their houses/bills paid too.

    Quit my job, stay home with the kiddos and do volunteer work.

    Really?!? What is it called? Well now I'm super bummed I didn't know about it when I lived there. Boo for missed opportunities! And to them for stealing my idea. Haha

    I can't remember the name, it was near SMU/Highland Park. We saw our wedding band play there. It was a great intimate venue. I think I remember having to take our shoes off, but I might be making that part up.
