Just saw the opening scene of Grey's... what would you do if you were awarded $15million?
-
ahhhhhhhhh I hate that we don't have cable. I'm gonna have to catch Grey's on abc.com tomorrow!
15 mil. We'd keep 8 and give away 7--to our church and family.
Build our dream house, travel, save for our kids' education, hire a chef and housekeeper
-
Pay off debts, buy a home, donate to charity, give to friends and family, take a vacation and save!
-
Gosh, DH and I would probably put it all into savings and investments, and live at about the same or slightly higher standard of living off interest. DH would quit work though and we'd probably travel more & open some kind of small business to keep us busy. Don't you love wishful daydreaming?
-
I'd build my dream house, stop working, pay off all of my families mortgages, buy an awesome horse and start a charity of some kind!
-
- Donate 10% to a great organization that helps children that have AIDS.
- Buy several small and simple homes in different parts of the world.
- Both of us would go back to graduate school part time, so we could switch off who takes care of the kids and who is in class. I'd get my Ph.D. in Midwifery.
- Build a Birth Center/Midwife Training Center in some place like Somalia, and teach women to be midwives.
- Adopt several special needs kids with expensive needs that we could suddenly afford to cover, like ones that require surgeries or pricey medications.
- Buy an awesome wardrobe for each family member.
-
Travel! I love @Arden 's idea to have houses in different countries. I'd settle for apartments, though. And I would eat really good food while travelling.
-
buy a home and hire a cook!
-
Pay off the house, update the house, buy a new car, buy a few handbags, get a hot tub, travel a bunch, and then put the rest away.
-
Oh man, what wouldn't we do. Probably pay off our parents' debt, give MIL a chunk, pay off our debts, buy DH a new car (which is on our to-do list anyway), figure out a way for one of us to stay at home with LO, and put the rest in savings. And maybe build a deck and take care of the other nagging home improvement stuff that's already built up.
ETA and hire a friggin cleaning lady.
-
Buy homes in NY, New Orleans, Fort Lauderdale, and abroad (maybe Spain?). Also buy a home for my sister and mother.
Pay off my student loans, invest, save for LO. My husband says he would still work as a teacher. Take some trips. Pay someone to fan me and eat grapes.
-
Oh man!! I'd buy/build our dream home, hire a housekeeper and chef, pay off all our debts, invest in commerical real estate, donate some to charity and help out family where needed, save a bunch for the kids, and travel the world!!
-
Buy a condo in the city and in a few years, buy a dream house in the suburbs or city outskirts, buy a vacation home... somewhere. Put aside enough for 2 kids colleges and weddings. Have the cleaning lady come weekly instead of monthly.
The rest, probably invest. I'm going to stop working in July when the baby gets here so I don't know if I'd stop sooner, and DH would probably keep working anyway, but devote more time to managing our now huge investments. Oh, and he'd join a golf course for sure! Donate a bunch to charity but we'd have to really figure out which one.
-
@ladyfingers: I agree, "hire a friggin cleaning lady."
-
Buy our dream home, pay off my parents mortgage, buy DH some ridiculous sports car that he usually drools over, give a lot to charity/church and then save a ton.
-
Invest, pay off our mortgage, buy DH a dream car, fully fund LOs education and then give the rest to charity.
-
(1) Give 10% to our church and make donations to some other special charities.
(2) Immediately pay off all of our debt.
(3) Buy a normal house (not one that screams that we just got 15 million dollars).
(4) Buy one new-to us car because mine sucks.
(5) Invest everything else into a business or two, some stocks & bonds, etc.
