Just for fun, if you won the lottery

What fun stuff would you do? I know we would all pay off bills and get out of debt but what about trips or things you want to see?

Then there’s me inside a sinking boat running out of time
Without you I'll never make it out alive
But I know, yes, I know we’ll be alright

    Pay off the house/car, secure a beach house & good insurance, quit my job, & travel with the fam. EVERYWHERE.

    I'd move farther away from the ILs. 
    I'd build a bungalow style house with more room to grow so I can have more babies.

    I'd travel to Australia and parts of Europe I've never been to before (like Italy, Sweden, Spain and Israel). I'd buy a big piece of property here and build an amazing house. I'd pay off my dad's, mom's and sister's houses and pay off my other sister's schooling. Then I'd hire a live-in housekeeper, a personal chef and a personal trainer. Then I'd do my research and find a dozen charities I'm passionate about to donate my money and time to. Ahhh, I can only dream!!

    I think I'd want to do plenty of travelling, but I think I'd really love to be able to have homes in a few different places so I could go whenever I wanted and stay in a familiar place.  Like a place in Manhattan and an apartment in London and a house on the beach and a cabin in the mountains.  

    I think this is what I would do. Visit a bunch of places and get a small place (less upkeep) in my top favorite cities.

    I'd also get an awesome on call nanny and personal assistant (not the same person) to do all the crap I don't like to do (like grocery shopping)

    I would buy an island, hire a full time nanny, chef, housekeeper, and assistant so I could lay in a hammock on the beach all day drinking. Ya know, since we're pretending.

    But really I'd travel w my girls and expose them to other cultures and ways of life. After traveling extensively I'd also love to buy old homes and restore them <----- Nicole Curtis wannabe

    I would get immediate dental work done for me and DH. We'd have Hollywood smiles.


    I'd buy and furnish a house in Maine.

    I would go to Oklahoma to see my friends then plan to go somewhere cool when I wasn't KU.

    I'd get a personal trainer.
    I like the dental work idea and the trainer idea. I would have a sweet home gym

    Does it really help your pain? I might try that

    I'd buy my BFF a house and pay off her medical bills. It makes me angry that such an awesome person has to suffer as she does. 

    I'd buy a new car, and a house on the lake where I live. 

    I'd move. Far away. I don't know where, though. I want to visit so many places.

    @shakeyjakey Very short term. It's like a nice massage. It alleviates some pain for a few hours. It's so so so relaxing though. I'd rather have it than a massage any day. My acupuncturist uses moxa sticks, like burning incense, on the ends of the inserted needles. You should give it a try.

    Besides paying off the house and putting money away for the kids...We plan to go to Disney in two years, so money would be put away for that.

    Mostly we'd probably do all the home projects we have on the long term agenda (finish the basement including a bath, build a "super" deck, update the laundry and create a mud room, build an addition). Maybe I could even talk DH into a pool.

    I'd travel the world and build a custom lake house outfitted for hosting as many friends and family as possible for summer-long parties! With a kickass boat and private dock, of course.

    I would demolish our house and rebuild it from scratch. 
    Then I'd go open a yoga studio in the building across the street.

    Aw yeah to "will never happen"!

    I would also donate to To Write Love on Her Hands (anti-suicide), get an awesome tattoo, pay off my mom's/grandparen'ts mortgage, a new (to them) house for SOs family. Newish car. An expensive hair cut (just one time), shopping spree at the outlet mall. New furniture.
