Has anyone yet said blow the whole wad on more lottery tickets?

I figured hookers and blow were already taken.

nm. double post

Cut back on hours at work and finish my degree. Help out my close relatives (mom, dad, sis and my two grown kids). Pad my life with a few extra little luxuries. Finally sell my condo and buy a place here in my new home state. Maybe take a real vacation, I haven’t had one since 2001 in New Orleans. Other than that, I wouldn’t change a thing. I like my job so I wouldn’t quit and my life isn’t all that bad.

  1. Pay off my student loans.
  2. Pay off my brother’s student loans and any credit cards he has.
  3. Pay off my parent’s house and buy them another house on the beach - something my mother has wanted her whole life. Also, let my dad pick out any tv and sound system that he wants (he’s a professional musician and an audiophile).
  4. Pay off my parent’s cars and credit cars.
  5. Give my brother an allowance for housing for the next few years, as he isn’t ready to settle into a house.
  6. Buy my best friend a car.
  7. Pay off my lease and probably just purchase that car.
  8. Save the rest, ask my brother and father how to invest it to help it continue growing.

I would not purchase a fancy new car or anything like that, I would move out of my parents’ house but live as modestly as possible while still close to work - right now I’m driving 70 miles round trip through LA to get there. I would basically live exactly the way I do now, except with no debt. And I practically drool while thinking of that. I would keep my current retail job, continue pursuing my certification in interpreting(already have a BA, that’s where all those student loans come from), eventually move to New York, and pay for housing and stuff with my newfound monies. And tell no one, except the people in the list above.

Wouldn’t that be lovely?

That said, I’m boring.

  1. buy a house
  2. nest
  3. give to causes/charity whenever I felt a cause was worthy, without worrying about my budget. I’d love to set up college funds for nieces and nephews as well.

I would set up trust funds, etc., to provide for old age. I’d keep a million for mad money and SWMBO and I could travel on it. I would then buy my own property and build a Taekwondo school to my design on it.
