No I'm not asking what you would buy. I actually posted this question on a car forum I frequent and the answers were typical, I'll just paste my post: Since a lot of us here are a bit more mature and pursuing a common goal I am really interested in the answers here. Discuss!
If I honestly hit the lottery the first thing I would do is buy my parents their vacation house they have been dreaming of. Then I would donate a considerable amount to charity since I believe that God would want me to do the right thing and help others. The last thing that I would do is set up a land trust to purchase land and preserve it so no development takes place on it. I have always had this dream of owning tens of thousands of acres of land out west in Arizona. I honestly can see where you are coming from when you say others get sick of the money. I have heard this before and agree with it. I think by helping others since you were blessed to win the lottery would make it all worthwhile. The greatest joy that I could see is helping people that are less fortunate than I am. What I wouldnt do if I had money: Buy fancy cars (cars that cost over 200,000 dollars a piece) Expensive clothes and suits that are like 5,000 dollars a piece. This in my eyes is such a waste of money. Im much happier just driving around in a Ford and wearing everyday clothes. IDK thats just my 2 cents
I would buy my parents a new car, and a nice big house... Then I'd get the turntables I've been lusting for and put the rest in the bank. Wee.
I think I would spend it on directory listings. Na..probably get me folks a new place, and myself, new car, and find some other rubbish to blow it on.
I'd probably travel the world the rest of my life, staying the the nicest hotels and resorts. I'd leave a huge sum of the money to my family members as well.
I have always maintained that winning the lottery would not change me . . . . . . . . . . I would still be an obnoxious pillock
Invest in a busness to make more money my drea i mean my biger dream is to own a footbal club so need lots of money for that But i don't play at lotery
Couldn't agree more. Money is a killer. Earning money is what's all about; the process, not the outcome. Not having earned it, you don't know how to deal with it and better stay off. You'd do that to your girlfriend?
Only if you don't know how to mangage money. Money doesn't just buy you "things". People go broke after winning the lottery because they don't know how to handle large sums of money.
I'm not going to say that winning the lottery wouldn't help, because it would. But I also agree with an above poster about charity and for doing stuff for the people around you (friends, family, charity etc). But it would be nice to not have to worry about money again. I just people just get into the spur of the moment which leaves them to be worse off than they where at the beginning.
I would really buy a big house for me and my family and then Plan for a world tour and last but not the least will enjoy my life without working for anyone.
I would try to buy google, and once they inform me that I can't afford it I would mourn and wallow in my self-pity No really, I would invest it in some businesses.
If I won I would want to stay anonymous. I believe I would be happier since my main problem is financial. I have a husband and 4 kids so I would be happier to be able to pay bills off and travel or buy things without worrying so much about bill money. On the other hand more money doesn't mean happiness if you dont budget well or invest in the right things. like this old article: http://articles.moneycentral.msn.co...oney/8lotteryWinnersWhoLostTheirMillions.aspx
Id drive my car into my house and set the entire thing ablaze Then Id buy everything new... Starting with a car...
