[quote=Anonymous]It's becoming obsessive. I'm so displeased with my current options in life that I just think through elaborate but practical fantasies of what we'd do if we won the lottery. My current fantasy involves moving to another city where we have friends but don't know too many people, because then we could start over at our new socio-economic level without the weirdness of moving way up in wealth in our current friend circle where it's sure to create awkwardness. Once we got DC settled at school and were settled in our house, DH and I would pursue our passion projects, which for him I think would be getting a PhD in something esoteric and for me would involve starting a business making beautiful things (either a flower shop or maybe interior design).

Currently trying to figure out if we'd buy a home with a pool or just buy a nice house near a great pool club. We really like hanging out at the pool and DC loves to swim.

Also trying to decide if we'd get a great house in the middle of the best walkable neighborhood, since that's the lifestyle we'd want, or something further out near nature, as we've always fantasized about being able to go hiking right from our backyard. So now I get why people wind up with "country homes." But inherent in all of these fantasies is the idea that we need to be practical about how we spend money and also not adopt a lifestyle that requires a massive roster of employees to manage. We do best at a smaller scale.

Anyway, this is what I've been doing all morning instead of, you know, my job.

I don't even buy lottery tickets, folks. My DH does occasionally. I just do the fantasizing.[/quote]
