Mega Millions Spinoff... What would you do if you won??

Ahhh, I don't even know how to conceptualize in those monetary terms but I'd sure try

.Pay off mine and DH's student loans, DH's car loan
.Buy a Range Rover
.Travel
.Buy my mom a house with a porch and a washer/dryer
.Payoff or buy new houses for all siblings
.Take my girlfriends and aunts and female cousins on an amazing vacation
.SHOP!

That's where I get stuck... I really don't comprehend $144 million dollars!

eileen...I was in the process of typing this exact same thread!!!

first of all, 1/2 would come out for taxes!!

after that, I'd probably give some to charity, travel, buy a home, travel, buy a car or two, travel, give some more to charity, invest, travel, then go shopping!!!!!

First and foremost - Quit my job!

Next - buy everything I ever wanted and the same for my family, invest a lot of it so it lasts me, then have a blast!

Pay off the mortgage
Remodel the house & furnish
Knock down the trees in our other half acre for a pool, poolhouse, BBQ, etc
Buy a Toyota Sienna and a convertible

Either pay off my mom's place in SC or buy her something back here in NY

Pay my brothers mortgage

BUY A HOUSE!

1st thing

---

wrong...BUY HOMES! MULTIPLE HOMES!

1) QUIT MY JOB

2) Buy my Father a New Lexus, He always wanted one.

3) Buy Danielle and I a Huge House in South Bellmore or South Merrick.

4) Pay off all of our Bills

5) Buy Danielle and I new cars.

6) Travel Everywhere I couldnt afford to go before I won the Lottery...Italy, Greece, Scotland, etc....

7) Give money to my nieces and nephews for their college fund

8) Spread the wealth among my family.

9) Invest some money

First thing I would do it quit my job.
I would share it with my family.
Buy a house on the water & in Ireland.
Hire a personal trainer and a chief.

I would find a charity I believe in and donate some of the $.

After that I have no idea.

But the people who say quit their job.. Would you invest money? Money doesnt last forever.

---

I do not think you have to invest...I think the interest alone will keep you quite comfortable for the rest of your life
