Buy the mobile home park I live in, get a franchise resturaunt ( olive garden)( Red Lobster) in the town nearest to me. after I paid off all my bills of course , This is so that It will continue to be an income... Give enough to my closest family members to help them. Lots to charities, none to churches. Don't believe in "church doctrines" set up food programs for the poor elderly, and help them. and the list goes and goes..



Nice, Ducky! flowerforyou

Would help my family out, and a couple of my friends that are closer than brothers. They would never have to work again. ( I have never had a brother. A couple of adopted bros though).

Safely invest some of the money into bank cds.

Give to some charities that I know are accountable as to how they spend the money.

Open a soup kitchen to help people less fortunate have at least one good hot meal a day. A lot of red tape setting this up.

Help some kids that need tutoring on school work. Would need a building and some volunteers to help out on that one. A lot of red tape setting this up too.

See if there is somewhere else in my community that I could possibly help out.

Then after all that is taken care of:

Buy myself a house. Nothing extremely fancy.This is not my style.

Buy myself a new car. Once again, nothing too flashy. This is not my style.

Buy myself some new clothes.

Hopefully have a mingle party for my friends that I have met on here. It would be so kewl to meet some of you in person.

blushing Thank you for the complimentblushing

It is an honor for me to post in one of your threads.

My postings are the type of a person that I am. My parents did well with me. I`m blessed that they instilled their values into my life.

When I was younger, I coached baseball, football, and basketball. I miss working with the kids.I`m too old to do this now. The "wheels" don`t go as good as they used to.

When you are spending time coaching a kid in a sport, you at least know that they aren`t out getting into something that they shouldn`t be getting into for at least a couple hours a day.

It`s fun running into some of them at times and see them with their own kids, and they proudly tell their kids that you were one of their influences when they were younger.

The job that I just got laid off from, 2 of my supervisors and a production engineer played baseball for my dad and I when they were younger.They are in their early 50`s now.

I would:

Pay off my house

Pay off my dad's house

Buy a new car

Set up some CD's for my son

Pay off my student loans

Pay off my credit cards

Buy a new gun

If there is enough money left over, I would love to open a home for runaway/sexually abused girls. That was going to be my mission after I retire, but if I could get on that quicker, that would be fabulous!

Your last point is a very good choice to do ashinaustin. If you ever get the opprotunity to do this, it would be a blessing to your community. You are in my prayers to be able to do this.

60% on investments (Roth IRA's, non-volatile T-Bills and Treasury and Gold Bonds)

20% on property investments

Whatever else on debt repayment and crap. And the remainder on frivolous crap.

That is AWESOME!!! I actually manage a shelter for abused boys - I have 10 of the hardest cases in a 4 county area. It is very, very rewarding. I love them all like they are my very own.

pay off all of my bills.
pay off my mom's bills.
buy a house in the middle of nowhere and stock it with guns and canned food and other necessities.
buy an suv to get me to said house.
dream about a girl who would like to live with me as my SO in said house away from the rest of the world.

I read what you wrote wrong the first time. I thought it said you would find a girl who would live with you AND your SO. laugh laugh

As for me, I'd:

Pay off my bills
Buy my truck that I've always wanted
Buy a log cabin in the woods for me and my son
Send a monthly donation to find a cure for my son's syndrome
Then I'd be a foster mom to any child who needed the love and attention they aren't getting at home
