All we want to do is have enough to live in our house, take 2-3 vacations a year, and contribute to charities. If we had much more, we would most likely give most of it away.Ken Richeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09425810816600512504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2136983861650322458.post-16060537843273244802010-12-03T23:50:33.210-05:002010-12-03T23:50:33.210-05:00I have thought about this very thing, DB, of cours...I have thought about this very thing, DB, of course I should start playing it if I expect to win the lottery.<br /><br />Hubby and me decided that if we should win the lottery, we wouldn't do a thing the first year of our winnings, we would continue going to work, etc. We would plan what we wanted to do. Obviously paying of debt would be a top priority, but we wouldn't go wild on cars or houses or vacations. I would set up a trust account type of thing for son and something similar for us where we could live ocmfortably but not extravagantly and then I think I would give the rest away to worthy charities. <br /><br />So maybe I should buy a ticket this weekend....<br /><br />bettybettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06323135450742337670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2136983861650322458.post-23339620642942046092010-12-03T23:45:34.901-05:002010-12-03T23:45:34.901-05:00I've thought about this before, and had the co...I've thought about this before, and had the conversation (sometimes drunken) with friends. I honestly can't imagine living any sort of extravagant lifestyle, and I would love to plan all the ways I could help others. I have friends who are teachers, I would love to sponsor a scholarship for a Medical Technology student (wouldn't it be fun to read the essays and choose the recipient?), I would love to sponsor an art exhibit, I would love to do so many things...! To me, that would be the most fun of all. Hugs, Beth<br /><br />P.S. Have I answered the autumn question yet? If not, drop me a line, and I'll respond. I honestly can't remember what I've written and who I've responded to!Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05149068921334726430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2136983861650322458.post-82226168716324744662010-12-03T17:56:52.214-05:002010-12-03T17:56:52.214-05:00I've never won a million, but feel rich at hea...I've never won a million, but feel rich at heart anyways. Know if I ever won a lottery, I'd not just go out and blow it, not how I was raised. I'd allow us to enjoy some special things that we'd enjoy having or doing, but, I'd help others for sure be it college scholarships, mobile meals, anyone in our area with major health needs who need support financially for medical care. Guess I'd prefer to give back then take and just spend it all.Arlene (AJ)https://www.blogger.com/profile/15447163140897697509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2136983861650322458.post-61639185384492372562010-12-03T12:09:11.863-05:002010-12-03T12:09:11.863-05:00Thanks for the opportunity to day dream a bit here...Thanks for the opportunity to day dream a bit here this morning. No wealth in my life from a lottery or otherwise. Every now and again I don't mind forking out a buck or two for a ticket and then having the chance to dream a little about what I would do with my winnings. We do not pay tax on lottery winnings up here but the following year you would pay tax on interest only. Through life I have noticed that those people who have "old" money, are very disciplined and never squander it nor do they live a lavish lifestyle. Those who are or become "nouveau riche" go on spending frenzies and have no good financial management plans in place. As the saying goes, "Easy come, easy go".pacifica62https://www.blogger.com/profile/03433535460716644295noreply@blogger.com
