July 20 Summer Blog Challenge - What would you do with the $ if you won the lottery?
(Submitted by Sara @ Keep up with the Jones family)
I have actually thought about this before and came up with a plan I still stand behind.
The first thing I would do would be to pay off my debt and immediately make arrangements for some long overdue house hold maintenance and repairs.
Then I would sit with my kids and determine which one place we would collectively like to visit.
I would make reservations and go, without worrying about budget yet also being aware not to throw my new found money to the wind.
Upon return to my now fixed up house, I would give myself a three thousand a month allowance for a year and put the rest of the money I won away so that I could spend time researching and feeling my way into my “what’s next.”
And I’ve never had 3K a month play money so that sounds plenty extravagant.
I like the idea of my money multiplying further while I spend an intense year of study about what would be best.
And finally, I would make three sizable donations to three organizations that mean a lot to me. Probably my alma mater, Katherine’s college and a cancer organization of some sort. I’ve lost too many loved ones to cancer.
So there you have it!
How about you? What would you do if you won the lottery?
