The Powerball Lotto Winner Fantasy post

September 18th, 2013 at 04:47 pm

If I had * million dollars:

The move to north of the border is one action all the family agrees on. They don't really know/care where, as long as it's in a safe, walkable neighbourhood of a city. I care, but they trust me to know where to land.

Public or private school? Don't know.

Donate enough for the barista/cook who survived a mass shooting at my fave coffeehouse to pay for his surgeries and a year's worth of counselling therapy.

Get scooter properly maintained, or a new one, or maybe just use bicycles when we move somewhere flat.

Overseas trips to destinations south of 37N and north of 35S in the winter (except New Zealand, would happily dip below 35S for Kiwi land), but not to those places where I have to cover my head and neck because of my already covered mommy parts.
Overseas trips to destinations between 55N and 42N during summer months.

1st class international flights or premium economy flights. Stalk my fave composer in a southwest London borough until I get him to talk to me by asking him for directions. Then when he gives them to me, leave him in peace.

Redo will.

Roadtrip to southern Oregon. Rail trip to Los Angeles. Rail trip to Toronto.

Start a business. Start three. Learn to program and troubleshoot properly. Learn to invest other people's money.

    My fantasy:

    Stay in the same city, but buy a big old house with plenty of room for guests.

    Buy a beach house in my hometown where many family members still live.

    Tour Europe. Extensively.

    Pay off everyone's mortgage.

    I may need more than a million!

    @CB in the City: the males of the house agree with you on the beach house - they like Hawaii. I'm not sure I could commit to one beach! It has to be a peach of a beach!

    First think, I would do is buy my mom a nice house for her to spend the rest of her days in.

    "Road trip to Southern Oregon", with a visit to a blogging buddy....Big Grin!

    After the past few days, I too would want a beach house- And help my kids get into homes of their own.

    LOL on the scooter comment. How about just buying a new scooter?

    I'd pay off the debt. Give my sibs and kids some fun money. And then travel. I might even buy a little sports car. Not an expensive one but perhaps a used Mercedes 450 SL with a convertible roof. Black. :-)

    Oooh, beach house. Hadn't thought about that, but I like it.

    @Thrifty Ray: yeah! I see us having pie and laughs! I wouldn't need a million to come visit, just a triple shot of espresso, a weekend, an early morning wakeup and a full tank of gas.

    If you're really interested in learning programming, there are a number of sites out there that will teach you the basics for free. Codeavengers is one such site which I've used with my 7th graders before.

    GREAT list. Definitely spring for the sleeper car on the Coast Starlight!)

    Oh ... and you do know that the will can be re-done even if you don't win the Powerball, right? :

    Sorry ... That was supposed to be a smiley face at the end of my post, not a colon. That is what happens when I enjoy a Shiner Oktoberfest while reading the blogs! Smile Smile Smile
