If i hit powerball

[ktrask]

I'm so upgrading to a Deluxe

 

[Cheshire Figment]

1. I would no longer peel or steam off uncancelled postage stamps.

2. When dining out, I would no longer agonize over the relative value of one appetizer over another on a dollars per ounce basis.

3. I would no longer deduct the tax from my restaurant bill before I calculate the tip.

4. I would no longer begrudge the checkroom woman her tip.

5. I would no longer park my car five blocks away from a restaurant or hotel to avoid valet parking.

6. I would no longer walk across the street to avoid a street musician with his open guitar case obstructing the sidewalk.

7. I would no longer belong to any organization that required my presence at 8 o’clock or (shudder) earlier in the morning ... any morning.

8. I would no longer compare supermarket prices of tuna fish. Or cereal.

9. I would no longer purchase supermarket flowers.

10. I would no longer wait for my favorite brand of soda to go on sale or settle for a generic brand.

11. I would no longer buy the economy size of anything that tends to get soggy, go flat, or smell yucky toward the end of its life.

12. With respect to opened milk containers, I would no longer resolve doubt in favor of freshness.

13. I would no longer scrape the sides of peanut butter jars.

14. I would no longer precariously drain ketchup from one bottle to another.

15. I would no longer scrape melons to the rind.

16. I would no longer drink tap water.

17. I would no longer eat leftovers. Come to think of it, I would no longer place leftovers in my refrigerator. In fact I would no longer have use for plastic wrap or aluminum foil.

18. I would no longer put up with dull knives, dull scissors, or dull people at cocktail parties.

19. I would no longer borrow my neighbor’s snow blower. In fact, I would no longer personally remove snow from my driveway or anyone else’s. Or even the walkway.

20. I would no longer buy seats in the bleachers.

21. I would no longer be tempted to buy a monstrously large popcorn and drink at the movies merely because it’s the best value.

22. I would never again see the inside of a store whose last four letters are “MART”.

23. I would no longer buy my clothing out of season.

24. I would no longer wear jeans with holes in them (unless fashion designers made it clear that they looked coolest that way).

25. I would no longer check my watch before I began a long-distance call and every minute thereafter.

26. I would no longer fill up with the lowest grade of gasoline. And I would never again pump gas myself.

27. I would no longer keep toll receipts.

28. I would no longer keep a list of books to watch for – a year after publication – when they are scheduled to come out in paperback.

29. I would no longer reuse mouse traps.

30. Finally, I would no longer open any envelope on which Ed McMahon’s face appeared.

I'd live at Disney for a month (or just under), try all the deluxe resorts and plan my day around which park to visit.

 

[MAD4EEYORE]

I'd donate a few million dollars and more of my time to Give the Kids the World and other charities that give terminally ill children a vacation of a lifetime at Disney World and Disneyland.

Unfortunately that didn't happen tonight.

I would book a two week split stay. One week at Contemporary because my son's dream is to stay there. The second week at AKL. Then the third week I'd go on a Disney cruise.

I would purchase season tickets to my husband's favorite college football team and an RV so we could tailgate in style.

I would hire a professional organizer, decorator and landscaper.

I'd buy my dream car, Range Rover.

I'd make much needed repairs to my mother's house.

I would buy Super Bowl tickets and concert tickets and get the really good seats.
And I would give away some money. To our church and various children's charities.

Fun to dream isn't it?

 

[ktrask]

The dreaming is a good time

 

[LilyWDW]

I would pay off my student loans and other debt.

I would buy a house up in Indiana to be closer to family and a better job market.

I would pay off my cousin's student loans so her family can be in a better place financially.

I would pay off some of my aunt and uncle's debt so they can finally be comfortable again.

I would give some money to my dad.

I would give money to the American Cancer Society, the Human Society, and Give Kids the World.

I would buy Disney vacation club and plan a HUGE family trip so that my aunt and uncle can see their grandkids at Disney.

 

[smcabee]

Well im in SC, commute near the Murphy Express. Got gas there a few days ago. Alas, I never bought a ticket there.

 

[wiigirl]

Take my entire extended family on a month long tour of Disney resorts.

 

[NancyIL]

I don't buy lottery tickets, so I'll never have this "problem"! However, I'd like to think that if a windfall came my way - my lifestyle wouldn't change much. I would donate a lot to charity, and I would travel more - but I'd still look for good travel values. I no longer need to pinch pennies, but I still retain many of my frugal ways because they are less wasteful.

Not for me either. But I would combine them.

I would buy one of those multi million dollar homes in Golden Oaks. We would probably still only be at Disney a few weeks a year. Whenever we were not there, I would donate stays to Give the Kids the World in my home and provide whatever else they would need....tickets, FD, etc.... Mostly, I would volunteer my time and effort to helping make things better for those less fortunate.

Oddly enough, DH and I talk about this often. There will have to be no hesitation if we ever won. We even have them in priority order.

1. Pay off our church's debt. We built a 3 million dollar addition 5 years ago, and still owe over 1 million.
2. DH buy Chevy 2500 diesel truck and skeeter boat. I buy Range Rover and lake house, and motorhome.
3. Give our current house to a good friend, and include a new van, and medical bills paid off to go with it. (A single mother of 4, her 4 year old is currently finishing the 14 month of chemotherapy treatment.)
4. pay off my DH parents and brother's debt. Once debt paid off, will buy all new vehicles, and DH's parents a new motorhome.
5. All families (all 20 sets) to disney for Christmas.
6. While at disney, take trip to sanibel and buy my parents a condo.
7. Personal trainer for 6 days a week.
8. Large donation to diabeties awareness foundation, give kids the world, march of dimes, and American cancer society.
9. Investments

After all of this, shewww, we will enjoy life, and travel. we will no longer say "I wish we could help them" but just do it.

Wow! Are we related or attend church together? My list is strikingly similar to yours EXCEPT that Chevy would be a Ford and that Range Rover would be something else. Add in a few siblings and we have a near-perfect match!
