Especially now that we are house hunting it would be soooo niiiiiiice to win some extra $$$ for the house I REALLY want! Oh a girl can dream... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-regularly-fantasize-about-winning-the-lottery#post-1630801 Tue, 13 May 2014 09:16:57 +0000 wonderstruck 1630801@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, I totally do - and like you, I never play the lottery! Haha. The first thing we would do is sign up for the Disney Vacation Club, because I'm a nerd and guaranteeing my family an annual vacation to one of their nicest resorts sounds amazing! Then we'd upgrade our house, nothing crazy expensive but something a bit bigger/nicer. I'd probably pay off our parent's house too and send our ILs on a nice vacay since they have plenty of money but I'd like to do something for them.</p> <p>After that is where it gets tough. Many members of my extended family are in tough financial situations that I would theoretically like to help with, but they are in those situations because they have continued to make stupid and irresponsible decisions for basically their whole lives. So that's tricky...but I doubt I'll ever actually win the lottery and have to worry about it :wink: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-regularly-fantasize-about-winning-the-lottery#post-1630720 Tue, 13 May 2014 08:48:52 +0000 LuLu Mom 1630720@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, we already have a plan of what we would do if it happens! If it was a significant amount (we only play when it's over 100 million), we would take all our family and friends on a chartered plane to Hawaii for a giant vacation. That's the only "crazy" extravagant thing we would do! </p> <p>Otherwise we would both retire and volunteer and build our dream home out on our family land, and just relax the rest of our days and travel, I would want to travel. We would also pay off all our immediate family's debt and I would do college funds for all our nieces and nephews. And maybe build homes for our parents and siblings. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-regularly-fantasize-about-winning-the-lottery#post-1630684 Tue, 13 May 2014 08:35:55 +0000 snowjewelz 1630684@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Haha sometimes.... I just like to think how a lot of our problems will be solved if we can just win the lottery. We don't even play though! And obviously we know money isn't everything but it's fun to dream! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-regularly-fantasize-about-winning-the-lottery#post-1630669 Tue, 13 May 2014 08:28:43 +0000 Alivoo01 1630669@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup bc like you, it's fun to think about the what ifs! Even though the chances are super slim, it's fun to day dream as an adult. Not many other opportunities also to! ha! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-regularly-fantasize-about-winning-the-lottery#post-1630545 Tue, 13 May 2014 07:12:24 +0000 mfa_lady 1630545@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My DH likes to get scratcher tickets every now and then, and he always chooses the ones with the reasonable payoffs...he's always saying "I only need this much...." basically enough to pay off our house and our student loans. Haha! Is it super lame that that's the kind of stuff we're fantasizing about? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-regularly-fantasize-about-winning-the-lottery#post-1630534 Tue, 13 May 2014 07:03:51 +0000 Smurfette 1630534@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not any more cause I am not allowed to play or win. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-regularly-fantasize-about-winning-the-lottery#post-1630477 Tue, 13 May 2014 05:43:44 +0000 pui 1630477@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never play the lottery either, but I do fantasize about winning a large sum of money. If we won 50k, it'd put us ahead more than 10 years! I can't even fathom suddenly getting more than that! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-regularly-fantasize-about-winning-the-lottery#post-1630473 Tue, 13 May 2014 05:38:57 +0000 Charm54 1630473@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No because we don't play :p </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-regularly-fantasize-about-winning-the-lottery#post-1630438 Tue, 13 May 2014 03:57:33 +0000 Cherrybee 1630438@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah absolutely although, like you, I never buy a ticket!!</p> <p>Only last night, I was telling DH about the charity I would set up with the money. He was trying to convince me that I could do it without a lottery win if I ran it like a business - but I don't want to do that! I want to just throw money at it!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-regularly-fantasize-about-winning-the-lottery#post-1630366 Mon, 12 May 2014 23:23:21 +0000 Boogs 1630366@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Totally! So many fun plans, but we don't play so it will never happen lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-regularly-fantasize-about-winning-the-lottery#post-1630337 Mon, 12 May 2014 22:47:37 +0000 Applesandbananas 1630337@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup. DH and I joke about it. Lucky we don't play, we can't agree how we'd spend millions! ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-regularly-fantasize-about-winning-the-lottery#post-1630333 Mon, 12 May 2014 22:43:19 +0000 travelgirl1 1630333@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No but DH does - every single day! Thinking about it occupies at least 50% of his day :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-regularly-fantasize-about-winning-the-lottery#post-1630296 Mon, 12 May 2014 22:10:45 +0000 Mrs. Pen 1630296@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>omg all the time! And I never play either hahah! My odds are nil. But I fantasize too - for sure! I would definitely pay off all our debt, all of our families' debt and then fulfill my family's dream of buying a huge farm in TN and living communally, and traveling together! </p> <p>One thing I can't decide is if I'd still want to continue nursing school or if I would quit... I really am not sure! I want this career so badly, but would I still want it if we were 100% financially set for life? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-regularly-fantasize-about-winning-the-lottery#post-1630241 Mon, 12 May 2014 21:46:44 +0000 MoonMoon 1630241@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>All the time! We hardly ever play (like once a year the in laws will buy us some) but I know exactly what I would do with the winnings! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-regularly-fantasize-about-winning-the-lottery#post-1630240 Mon, 12 May 2014 21:46:41 +0000 mrsjazz 1630240@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>EVERY SINGLE DAY!</p> <p>And it was on the news recently that two $1 million dollar tickets were sold within walking distance of my apartment. I walked by one of the stores recently and gazed at the door imagining myself being the one that bought one of the tickets.</p> <p>Sigh. I need a new fantasy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-regularly-fantasize-about-winning-the-lottery#post-1630233 Mon, 12 May 2014 21:44:34 +0000 Mrs. Bee 1630233@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do even though I never play! It's just fun to think about everything I could do with the money. Not that I want a huge house or anything like that, but I'd love to help my family retire. Worrying about them stresses me out!</p> <p>And of course I think about all the things I could do (like hire a cook... my dream!).</p> <p>Do you fantasize? </p>
