| i've just spent the past hour on franklymls picking out my house. i will also pick MIL a house of her own choosing -- but in the country of my choosing. haha -- i like that! |
|
buy the 4 million dollar house on bradley blvd that i covet
pay off my brother's college (he's a junior) charity - here and abroad - a big donation to children's national, for sure. Maybe in the 5 million range, but probably anonymous. Unicef MercyCorps Doctors without Borders buy my husband a car get the dents and bumper fixed in mine. put 1 mil away in 2 separate bank accounts for each kids education expenses. |
480 million and I wouldn't give any to family. Mother is deceased, brother is a total nutcase and Dad is married to a witch. Any more questions? |
THIS! I would not tell anyone other than immediate family. You come out publicly like this and now you have a target on your back for god knows what! I know it sounds insane but its true! |
What about your husband's family? If no, can you toss a couple of bucks my way? |
|
Husband's family is not my family.
My money will go to my favorite charities. |
| There is a certain little island off the coast of Maine that I'm interested in |
| The jackpot is apparently now up to $500 million! |
| I'd buy a small island in French Polynesia and name myself Empress. |
In a thread full of fun things, that's the saddest thing so far. |
| I would become a lady of leisure. Serve on some non-profit boards. Throw fabulous fundraising parties for said non-profits and political candidates at my new beautiful home on the Potomac. |

Those who know to shut their mouths and not tell anyone (including your kids, though they may suspect) - are the smartest and most deserving. Your kids will forgive you for not telling them when they get their cut, I promise.
As for friends, if they treat you differently or expect some sort of payout, its their own loss. Anyone who expects anything gets and deserves absolutely NOTHING. I would help those who have helped us through the years. Those who have been there the very few times we have needed anything. Period. I like the anonymous idea. |
The charities will love it though

Call up each so called friend and tell them how I really feel
Never do a single thing i don't want to do ever again Make sure my husband kisses my butt daily |
| I would never tell anyone except DH. I would accept the money through a blind trust, and immediately put almost all of it into a charitable foundation that I run. That much money would destroy our lives. We do need a larger house, a nicer car, and it would be nice to afford private schools for the kids, but I don't want my life to be all about spending money, managing money, fending off people who want to take money from me. I want to give almost all of it away. I'd keep some for the kids' college, and some trust funds they can collect when they are 35, and for retirement, but the rest will go to far more deserving souls than me. I would give absolutely zero to my family. They are the most money-grubbing cheapskates you'll ever find, and they don't deserve a penny. |
