keptwoman Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 Yanno, yu win the lottery. You pay off your house or buy a new one, your husband quits his jo for more family time, you buy some new clothes or something. Whats the dream, the big ing uthat you would just love to do if money was no object? For me, it's to live a year in NYC. I've only been there once and it was everything I expected and miore' Id love to live there again, in a nice bluestone with a stoop. Just for a year, to see the city in all seasons. As long as it snows in winter, if it doesn't, I might have to stay 2 years :lol: And excuse the typing I've recently exchanged my laptop (read, it fell off a high place and broke in a most impressive way) for an iPad and I haven't got the hang of the onscreen keyboard yet!

thescrappyhomeschooler Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 Oh. my. gosh. I have so many! :D I pass by the sign on the freeway telling how much the lottery is each week on the way to my mother's house, so it always gets me dreaming. I'd tear down my current house and rebuild on the same lot. I'd buy a vacation house on the Outer Banks and one in the south of France where friends and family could always stay. I'd take my girlfriends on a trip to Paris and London. I'd give a big scholarship endowment to my college because they gave me lots of money. I'd open my own scrapbooking retreat inn. I'd donate money to women's shelters, and several other favorite charities. I'd pay off the debts of my close family members. Dh always says he would keep on working, but I think he'd take a few more fishing trips! The kids and I would be traveling all over the place!

Carrie12345 Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 Oh, I have LISTS, lol. We go back and forth between saying we'd go back to NJ (where my heart will always be) and deciding to relocate to GA (for the longer growing season.) Either way, I'll have my homestead. Except I will need to employ a decent amount of help because I want to supply food banks with REAL food, and a lot of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheReader Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 Honestly? The superficial side of me says "Travel." But the deep down, truth of my heart side of me says "open a center for children affected by AIDS." It would be a place not only for children with the disease, but for children with a parent or sibling with the disease, a place where kids could come and be kids. Camps that let them forget about AIDS for a while, a place where they can see that other kids deal with this too, a place where they wouldn't have to explain to everyone about it, where it would just be normal. There may or may not be an orphanage sort of thing along with it for those left parentless due to the disease. There may or may not be a children's home for those with the disease themselves. Just a place where families could bring their children, get some respite care for the kids/break for the parents (for the kids with AIDS), and a sort of reverse respite where kids can come when parents need more intense treatment or whatever (for kids with a parent with AIDS), a place where the kids can just get a break from being "you know, her mom has AIDS..." kid. Day camps, activities, summer camps, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest momk2000 Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 Just knowing we would be financially secure and never have to worry again is enough for me. Most of it would sit in the bank for the financial security of our future generations. Of course we would upgrade our home, nothing big though. And yes, I would have to take that way overdue, much needed and deserved vacation! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carrie12345 Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 I pass by the sign on the freeway telling how much the lottery is each week on the way to my mother's house, so it always gets me dreaming. I see it, immediately calculate the after-tax payoff, determine how much to invest and what annual withdrawl I can make, and how much that will leave me to "play" with. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarlaS Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 I'd start a few small businesses that could grow and give people jobs for years to come. Or since I don't have that kind of experience, I'd hire someone to do it. Oh, and build some kind of communal living area on about 400+ acres. I won't elaborate on that one, or I'd be here all day. Lots of possibilities there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soror Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 Buy 100 acres and build our own off-grid house right in the center. Have a nice farm and hire out all the work to set it up!

jenangelcat Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 My lottery dream was to move to the country and have a hobby farm because at the time it seemed that winning the lottery was the only way it would be possible. Well I moved to my hobby farm last year so my new lottery dream is to be able to get all the renos done on my house and maybe tack on a couple of acres to the property. My splurge would be an inground swimming pool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SailorMom Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 Pay everything off. Pay all of my Mil and Fil's debt off as well (mortgage and 2nd - mostly from supporting two of DH's siblings). Pay for my sons' education. Pay for a family reunion cruise/trip to Disney/whatever (whatever people vote on). Set up a scholarship fund/contest for homeschool students Buy an "Ark" or two from Heifer International. Tour historical sites in Italy, Greece, etc. Go to New Zealand. Invest the rest very conservatively; live modestly off the income from the interest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hsmom Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 Mine is simple it would be the goal/ dream I have now. Buy a nice chunk of land in the mountains, build a beautiful home, that makes it where we do not have to rely on anyone for much of anything. Where it is quiet, beautiful and all nature. No stop lights(not like the town I live in has stop lights), paved roads, sirens, traffic, and all the mess. My whole family including the kids love this and all want this.

elegantlion Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 Pay off my parents house and move them, I have a specific house in mind. I'd pay to have my current home moved out to the country. It would be the second home on the property and we could set it up as an office/classroom/library. I could use it as a writing get away as well. Travel, I'd take a world tour field trip with ds. We'd have an RV and travel the US for a while too. I'd buy ds all the equipment he wants for his computer interests. I'd help my dad open that little electronics stores he's always wanted to do, with no profit expected. Just a place for him to putz around in all day. I'd spend the money to see if I could track down a car my dh used to own, it was a Cuda, forget the year. If not I'd buy him a Porsche. I'd make a dentist very happy or very rich. I'd buy me a Jeep Wrangler with every option I want. There are a lot of things I'd like to do. Mostly, I'd like to buy some peace. I'm tired of stress and, yes, unlimited income would alleviate a lot of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renee in NC Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 First, of course, we would pay back all the money we owe. I think we would buy here because the kids do not want to move again. Dh could quit his job and do whatever he wanted. I'd make sure to buy enough land that he could have a sustainable farm, and build housing on it so he could have lots of interns to help him. I would hire an "Alice" to help me with the kids and household. I would hire ds's violin teacher to come to the house and give ALL the younger dc violin lessons. Or a piano teacher. Or both. I would hire a good friend of mine to teach the dc Spanish. I would pay her really, really well for her time and travel.;) If she wasn't interested, I would find someone else but not pay them quite as much.:tongue_smilie: We would be able to do Classical Conversations if we wanted to. We would take REALLY good field trips. I would hire a Barton-certified tutor to tutor my dc with dyslexia. I would buy the 13yo a car/truck to rebuild. I plan to buy my dad an excavator and 100 acres of woods to clear and develop - just because he would love it. I would give a lot to the rescue mission in our city because they have a really, really good program. Oh, the things I could do! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elise1mds Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 Obviously the house thing - DH has always wanted a lake house, and I would be happy to live there as long as we had land to go with it. We would get our dream cars (DH wants an Audi, I want a Lamborghini but will settle for a Corvette). I know we'd sock enough away for the kids to go to college wherever they wanted. I would probably put DD into a Montessori school... and possibly DS, too. This would leave me time to finish my own degree. Then, we'd travel, everywhere and often. And if the lottery was big enough, I'd hire tutors/nannies to come with us so we could educate on the road! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
athena1277 Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 I would love to travel around Europe for weeks (months?).

Ksol Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 I would buy a house. not even a huge house. Just a house. I would set up a monthly account for a housekeeper too! And I think I'd like a Honda Odyssey. We;ve talked about what we would do if we won and really, we would just do those two things and perhaps travel. I don't see us living large!

Jennifer3141 Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 I would buy my best friend the house and 20 acres right behind us. Perfect for her and guarantees I like my neighbors. I'd buy my other best friend her dream house in the city I used to live in and I'd make sure it had a guest room and bathroom so I could visit more often. I'd by the 10 acres 4 houses over. It's never been touched and I want to keep it that way. I like seeing the empty space on my drives. And I'd payoff my parents' and brother's houses.

swellmomma Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 What I have always told the kids we would do if I won the lottery is pay off all our debts incl. the house. Then sell it. We would buy an RV and live in it for a minimum of 2 years travelling all over north america. Then we would buy a new home somewhere beautiful. And save the rest for the kids college/futures.

RoughCollie Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 When I dream of winning the lottery, I dream BIG -- that lottery windfall is $330 million, after taxes. There is no point in dreaming small, since I don't buy lottery tickets. :) So, here is what I'd do: 1. Hire a lawyer and a financial planner. 2. Apply for passports for us all. 3. Persuade DH to stop working. 4. Move the family to Orlando and the Gulf Coast while we wait for the passports. 5. Pay off all debts. 6. Give money to my mother, my sister, my brother, and my cousin. 7. Plan, with the family, a 2-year excursion to Europe that includes Aidan. My mother, sister, and brother's family can join us any time they want to. 8. Set up trust funds for the kids. 9. Go to Europe with my family using a method of transport that leaves Aidan with us. 10. Long term plan: Set up a foundation that pays for the education and all living expenses for parents and their families, who are single or who cannot otherwise afford to go to college, and who are highly motivated to improve their lives.

JFSinIL Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 To fully fund a house with live-in caregivers for SillyAutismMan and a couple other similar guys so they could live semi-independently. Also - I'd fully fund my other kid's college educations. For fun - I'd take us all to Italy AND Florida to visit Harry Potter World...and England for the studio tour opening soon at the studio where the films were shot! I'd like a second car, too - and my own iPad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yucky laundromat just seems to add insult to injury. I can't imagine having to spend hours of my time weekly in a dirty building, with Jerry Springer blaring on the TV, barely any seating, maybe a few ripped up newspapers, vending machines full of soda/candy, etc. I daydream about a kids play area, changing stations and *gasp* soap/tp/pt in the restrooms, phonics on the kiddo TV, documentaries playing on another, books or at least informative magazines, healthy vending food like Odwalla etc. sold at cost, seating by washers and dryers, a security guard, I could go on and on about my Disneyland laundromat...:rant: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Punchie Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 DH and I actually have this conversation periodically. :) Of course, we rarely play, so we'll never win. Still fun to dream though. Depending on how much said lottery winnings were would depend on what exactly we would do with it. Number one would be determining whether to do a lump sum or annual payments. Then we'd invest enough of it to use the interest as "income" so neither of us would have to work if we didn't want to. The remainder would go to (in no particular order): Paying off all debt Taking care of our families Traveling Starting a micro-brewery (DH) Getting heavily involved in philanthropy Maybe get around to replacing the hubcap on my car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'd build the fences, vineyard, greenhouse and cabins that we've been talking about and run our farm like the business we plan to take 10-15 years to establish. We'd set up trusts for the kids to cover college, etc. We'd make sure our parents were taken care of and plan a fun vacation for all our immediate family. A cruise to Alaska sounds just about perfect. We'd travel with the kids because we'd be able to hire interns to stay on the farm and keep it going while we were gone.

Mrs Mungo Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 (edited) If I won a small lottery? Two million or less? 1. We'd buy a home where we plan to retire and let my sister and cousins live in it until dh retires. It would probably include enough land for a hobby farm. 2. We would pay off all debt. 3. I would buy dh a used Aston Martin DB9. 4. I'd engage in a ton of small philanthropic projects that I've been wanting to do. 5. I'd take various family members/friends on trips. 6. We would save the rest. We'd pay for college for the kids and we'd probably wind up living off of part of the interest along with his retirement so that we didn't have to work again. If I won a really big lottery and became filthy rich? 1. I'd start a cooperative community and work toward making it as self-sustaining as possible. Something sort of like this. 2. We'd do the rest of the stuff on my prior list, but dh would get a new Aston Martin, and I would get a classic Mustang and a new Honda Pilot.
