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

Original post by eogara

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!

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



so true...for that kind of money, can you imagine how much interest would be earned annually!!!???

hmmm...someone should do the math!!
where are our brainiacs when you need them!!



If you opened an ING account with it , at 3% and saying you only get half after taxes, you'd make $2,160,000 a year in interest ALONE!!! Then that would capitalize (assuming you don't touch the money), so the next year would be $2,224,800... and so on.

1) DH and I would both quit our jobs!

2) definitely buy a FEW homes.. one in NY, one in Hawaii, one in Italy Definitely hire help to maintain these homes!

3) Buy my parents a really nice house they will be comfortable in their retirement - hire them help to keep up with the yard/cleaning..

4) take a few vacations - Australia would be my first one - and then settle down and have a family

5) Since we're unemployed, take lots of classes.. take up some new hobbies. Tennis, golf maybe. Would definitely go to the hair salon every week and the spa for all sorts of pampering. Would splurge on liposuction and get a personal trainer/nutritionist/personal chef to help maintain my new bod Oh yea would love a boob lift, but will wait until Im done with the babies

6) After my makeover, I would get a fantastic new wardrobe and never think twice again about buying designer clothing

7) For my very closest dearest friends only, would help out financially anyway I could

8) Donate some towards charities that mean a lot to DH and myself

9) Adopt a boatload of doggies and kitties

10) I honestly could care less about cars - truly they mean nothing to me. Bbut I'm sure DH would come up with a few vehicles he'd love to splurge on

11) buy a boat

I'm sure there is other stuff but I'm stumped for now!

At 35,000,000 it's about 3 million a year in interest




see Kristen!! you can take 1/2 of what you'd be left with, put THAT in the bank and live off the interest alone...

the other half can be used to buy your self whatever you'd like!!
