Oh gosh, Monday is just about here. The beginning of the week is always the toughest, especially for my family. Back to work, school, schedules -- blah blah blah. So, let's pretend for a moment.

Pretend that you just won $10,000,000. I don't know, maybe from a gameshow. Or that home sweepstakes. Or the lottery (wouldn't that be nice!). Wherever you got it, it's yours!

What would you do? What would you buy? How much would you save? Tell us how you would go about spending your new found wealth. What would you splurge on?

Have fun with this one ladies. It's Monday, let's have a wee bit of fun. Nothing like $10,000,000 to help!

I would take 5 million and invest it hoping to bring 10% in and live off the intrest.  i would make sure all our loved ones wouldn't struggle and buy the house we dream of ( walk thrhough and  pick out upgrades in house) and travel the world with tutors for the kids so they can experience Life and the world.  i would not spoil anyone but I am sure we will get a few nice things.   Living happy and enjoying the kids and family instead of always working.  I would give a lot to charity and help others make there dreams come true too.   And maybe take out a little tiny bit to fix some problems areas........(surgery)

Invest some...pay off my mortgage/bills...buy my husband's retirement...help out our parents...set aside money for all my children to go to college...donate some...and take our family on a vacation anywhere we wanted to go.  Seems like I might just have some money left-over .  What to do...what to do....

The first thing I would do would be to take a fat shopping spree trip to Paris -because damn it, I've earned it!

When I got home I'd get some perspective and become totally debt free; put the necessary money aside for my child to go to any college; pay off my brother's and sister's and mother's debt; buy my dad a Harley; buy my aunt and uncle a motorized van because she is wheelchair bound; send my aunt to europe for experimental treatment for her MS; take the rest of the money to realize my really big dream of founding a non-profit to build schools in India, and raise additional capital to build on that dream, and spend the rest of my life doing that (while also continuing to run my business (hopefully sell that off at some point) - all while having a little fun in between. 

Wow, OK. I would give $500,000 to my parents, they deserve it. I have probably cost them that much, if not more, so you have to take care of them. Next, I would spread around $500,000 to my brother and sisters. I would pay off my mortgage. I would give Amanda the most beautiful ring and have an amazing wedding. I would put away $4,000,000 in the bank. Start accruing some interest. I would then buy a house in LA and a house in Hawaii. I would go on a crazy shopping spree, buying pretty much whatever I want. Then I would see how much I had left and try to live off of that for awhile.

I think I need more than 10,000,000!

Buy our dream home, take a trip to australia. I would pay for our kids college, and pay credit cards. I would defintely go on a shopping spree. Wow, I wouldnt even know where to start!! And I would also donate some to charities.

And then I guess put the rest away and save it. I would probably get a financial advisor to help me manage the money first. I would want to be able to spend a lot, but also have enough left to live comfortably!!

i would pay off my moms house and buy her a new one along with a new car for her and one for dave to, i would buy my dad a nice old truck and prolly some other stuff, i would pay off my sisters car and help her with some of her debt but she would prolly stay living with my mom since she cant handle a place of her own and taking care of her son, i would get all the stuff done to the pt that i want, buy a pt gt and get the work done on it, maybe buy a bigger house with more land and all the stuff to furnish it and finally a vacation havent had one of those in awhile the rest would be put in the bank and donated. 

First - I would change my cell phone number and only give to those I really watned to keep in contact with!   Then, I would invest some to make sure it would still be there.  I would buy a nice house here, with a smaller one being purchased about 5 miles away for guests.  I would buy one also close to my home town. Then I would buy a bus (nicer than most peoples houses) get my kids favorite teacher and my best friend and we would hire a driver and travel the US & Canada forver and then start expanding across the ocean. 

I would take care of my parents and my FIL (out of respect to my husband) so they would not have another worry for as long as they lived.

Can you tell, I have not thought about this at all!
