I am feeling just plain old beat and beat up today.
So I bought myself a couple of lotto tickets.
Heck, a girl can dream, right?
What would I do with $17 million?
1- quit my job. I know people say that as soon as you quit your job, you are changed. But there are many other people out there who could benefit more from my job if I was set financially.
2- find an organization that I love and volunteer. See. I just replaced my job right there. I think I still would want some purpose and direction in life, and there are a lot of things I could offer to the right group.
3- pay off my bills, my mom's bills, my sister's bills. It's just the right thing to do. Especially for my mom. And I would get her a new place. Her place now is OK, but I would want her to be totally comfortable. I think she would really enjoy a sweet little condo near the beach.
4- travel. Oh hell yeah. Where? Back to Italy, the Caribbean, Amsterdam and Prague. Back to England, Spain and Germany. I would hit my favorite U.S. places: New York, San Francisco, Boston, New Orleans... Pretty much anywhere I want to go.
5- new house, same area. Heck. Maybe I would just have a new house built just for me on the same lot where my house is now. I really like my neighborhood.
6- have a kid or adopt a kid. Yeah, I want a kid. Not having to worry about money would make that a hell of a lot easier.
7- get a good, trusted financial adviser. Because $17 million is a lot of money for a girl like me and I would want to be wise about it and make it last.
Anyone else dreaming big today?

Nothing more than ramblings, observations and questions about life, love and my own pursuit of happiness.

I'm dreaming of Arby's Chicken Poppers.
Actually, I think about this a lot ... because if I get downsized out of newspapering, I don't know what the hell I would do. And I don't have any financial cushion to take the time to think about it once it happens.
Downsizing is a constant fear. Even though I think I do my job well, there is always that fear.
Financially, I am in decent shape, but it sure would hurt to lose this job.
I think I will go check those lottery numbers now.
$17 million is not enough, especially if you take a lump sum payment. Then you have to pay taxes.
At this point, I don't bother with it unless I can walk away with $50 million lump sum after taxes.
You are so awesome. When I'm feeling ass-kicked, I usually uncork a bottle. I'll have to try this next time. :)
Hey, the $1 lottery ticket is cheaper than the wine and won't give you a headache the next morning.
