What Would I Do If.......

Everyone have that dream of them waking up without any more responsibilities and 10 million dollars on their laps. Well, here goes mine...


What would I do if I was rich..

For starters, I will buy me a new house, nothing extravagant just with about 5 bedrooms, 4 1/2 bathrooms, a game room, a living room, a family room, a study/office, a dining room, kitchen, 3 car garage, theatre, outdoor pool, fitness gym, sauna, and jacuzzi. (See just the basics) Something in the $950,000-2 million price range. I don't really need a lot of yard, probably just one or two acres and that is it. (Gotta have enough room to hold the horses and the basketball court)

Each family member, who can drive, will have their own car. (oh, in my dream, I am married with six children.....yes, I want a big family) Well, let me explain my family....My oldest son is 18, next I have a daughter who is 16, another daughter 13, a son 8, a daughter 4, and a daughter who is 3. Ok back to the vehicles, my husband will have a fully-loaded Tahoe LTZ, I have a Lexus GX (Yes, I will be driving in style), our oldest son have a Chevy Avalanche LTZ, and my oldest daughter have a C230 Sports Sedan Mercedes Benz. I will also put $100k (only $100k cause it will be in the bank collecting interest for me) aside for when my other 4 get old enough to drive.

Well, after all of that, house, vehicles, and taxes, I now have like 7.5 million left. Ok, thinking realistically, I will put aside $350k for each child's college education ($100k for their living expenses for their 4-yr education and $250k for their school tuition and fees. I will help my children get a scholarship, but the money I sit aside will be for 'just in case') I will only pay for a max of 5 years, or a Bachelor's degree, which ever comes first. If they want to get their Masters or Ph.D, or decide that they want to fool around with my money, then they will have to get that themselves. So, after paying for all six of my children education costs, I am down to: $5.5M.

Next, also thinking realistically, my family will acquire a lot of expenses during our time, ie electric bills, water bills, cable fees, phone services, internet, private school costs, after school activities fees, gas (whoa, gas will be a beast once this dream ever come true), food, house/car maintenance, and whatever other fees that may come along during our days, so that will now put me at: $2.3M.

So after EVERY single bill that a person could possibly have be paid out from 3o years from this date, I still have $2.3M to play with and I already have a car and a house, so life as I know it is 'pretta good, pretta good'. Oh, wait... I didn't save anything or tithe yet..... So of course $1M goes to God and $100k goes to savings... (Can't forget those..)

So now I can play. So, now that mega question that is piercing everyone's side: What would I do if I have $1.3M after every expense possible is paid? Well, stay tuned as a describe my dream weekend in the life of the rich and infamous.....

Wait, Wait, Wait!!!!!....Did I forget about shopping??? I am a die-hard shopper and me without shopping is like a human without water. So I estimate about $750k to household items and of course.....CLOTHES!!!!! Oh and I will not go crazy buying all of them name brand clothes that people are scared to wear because they don't want to ruin them. I will shop just like I do now and get a lot for my money....

Now back to my dream life with now $500k (I guess that is still good... I mean I really have no expenses only luxuries, so I guess I really can't complain of only having $500k to blow but it is a dream....BUT my hubby is still working so I guess we can still play with his paychecks too, but anyways.......wait what is I'm thinking.... $500k with no bills or notes or mortages or nothing is darn good....So *tipping my glass* 'Keep the party going'.......

Side Note: OK, just for the record...This is only a dream. If I actually did live my life hoping that this would happen, it would pain me to say that...... I would most likely be disappointed.

How would yours be?
