A friend sent me this joke.

A woman came home, screeching her car into the driveway, and ran into the house.?
She slammed the door and shouted at the top of her lungs, 'Honey, pack your bags. I won the lottery!'?
The husband said, 'Oh my God! What should I pack, beach stuff or mountain stuff?'?
'Doesn't matter,' she said. 'Just GET OUT!!'

My question is this: Without pretending that gobs of cash would not change your behavior, do you really know what you would do differently, if you suddenly had nine million dollars, after taxes?

1st I'd buy a 4x4 truck, then I'd pack up some necessities & my pets & head south. I'd plan what to do next while sitting in the sun.

Yes, I would buy my parents a new house with all new everything. And then I would buy myself a new house.

Nothing drastic, I'd just buy a farm home, open a trust, buy up some real estate and start renting. I might open up a coffee house and a live music country folk bar.
The trust itself would be setup for dispursements to family members and probably run by someone whos financial invest plans are safe and understandable.

So, basically, it would probably change my entire lifesytle. Though, in regards to my initial reaction, I don't think I would be too overwhelmed by it. It wouldn't change my direction so much, but it would definitely eliminate all my short term goals at the moment.

Most of us have a kind of similar spirit, I see, in that we have formed goals or priorities that are reasonable.
This is reassuring, to me.
I think that you're each on a good path.
May God bless each of you with success, or even more successes.drinker

i would probably buy some wooded acres and put up a small house, maybe a nice size bass pond, buy a mini gun, and bury the rest underneath some landmines

after I'm all set up, my behavior would most likely revert back to my old self

Seriously I would be in total shock if I won that kinda money.Since I have such a love for animals I think I would spend most of it on taking care of neglected animals.

I would register for a paid dating place instead of this free one.
Then I would buy some new shoes and a house and maybe some better quality pantyhose. I might do other stuff but that's all that comes to my mind at 4 oclock am in the morning.

Let me be the first to tell you three things.

1. You don't need a paid dating place.

2. New shoes before new house is wisdom. I had not thought of it, until you said so. Thanks.

3. Really tough panty hose is rough for a guy to buy, but essential for diving with wetsuits. It looks like hell, but who cares, as long as the suit goes on and off like it should.laugh
