Pretend you've won the lottery

Wake up at 6:30am run 5-10k, play a round of golf, lunch, practice range, play nine holes, practice range, dinner, go to bed and do it over again. 

Get my mom out of debt (from trying to provide for me) and make sure she lives the life she never had, and go to school debt free.

I would build a house on my other lot and rent out the house I live in now.  I am getting ready to get two goats.  Where I live now, I only have room for between 3 and 5.  If I won a lottery, I would hire someone to put up a fence and build a barn for me at the other lot so that I could have more goats and some llamas and maybe a horse.  I would get chickens, geese, and maybe a pair of pea****s.  I would probably get some other livestock and poultry too.  I would also plant more fruit trees and nut trees. 

I would include solar panels and a wind generator on the new house and maybe even add them to the house I already have.  I would get a car that gets the best possible gas mileage

I would put most of the money aside for retirement.  I would save some for my grandchildren's education. 

If I didn't have to worry about money, I would spend more time volunteering.  The work you don't expect to get paid for is the most rewarding work.

Liz Pulliam Weston wrote in this article to change a habit that might change your life.

Is there a habit you've always wanted to change in order to make a change in order to change your life for the better?  If the theme of this article is to create a better life just as if you've won the lottery, what changes would you make?

I would love to be more confident in the decisions I make, which, hopefully, would lead to better opportunities.

 Strangely, my next door neighbors just won the lottery about 2 months ago $87,000,000.  I was and still is very happy for them. I must say that I miss them. They will not sell the house, but they did buy a new home. Some of the things you guys suggested is just what they did....ex. sent their kids to private school, charities, and they will fix up their old home next to me. Most importantly.........​They shared with me.....LOL...nearly 10k dollars. Many people out of touch with how Americans and civilized people should live keep wondering why did they give me so much. Hmmm, I just looked at them and wondered............​....................​...

 Finally, knowing that lightning may not strike in the same place twice, perhaps I should invest more eventhough, I continue to play. I mean you cannot win if you do not have a ticket and for me it is such a small investment to win a whole lot of money.If I were to ever win that amount, I think I would lay low for life without investing. It seems as if everything in America tend to fall under the roof and nowadays who can you trust? 

Amazing, the entire point of winning the lottery is missed!  The point of winning is you don’t have to choose BETWEEN giving money to your relatives, paying down your bills, etc. etc.  Of course we all try to do these things in our lives, but we don’t have enough money.  Is this not incredibly obvious?  I get so tired of reading over and over by financial “experts” that we simply need to pay off our credit card debt, then look how happy we will be.  OF COURSE we want to do that.  But if we do that now we can’t eat, can’t help others, can’t even watch cable TV, much less pursue our dreams.  Life requires a financial balance, winning the lottery, to a great extent, changes that. 

Simple I would give it to the boys that are 18 or young men that are dyeing for the country that I was born in, maybe buy them a better rifle, newer rifle that doesn't jam or have a twisted barrel that doesn't fire correctly or rusted out and cant be polished anymore, for christ sake give them boys the best we have, (Goverment)  would give it to the people who suffered for my country the great USA,

everyone once the newest and latest and finest thing out there, Laugh, after the economy went to the crapper I realized that you only need the basics in life shelter and Food, well

take your winnings and travel the world I got news for you you'll never see it all, but you might die trying, you care about your Children, try caring about the planet, it's Dyeing  people, your children or there grand children are going to have no earth to live on soon,

I'm no educated man in any means but I'm not blind everyone needs to change there habits, try buying some solar panels A house made of plastic, ride a bike to work, higher 500 people to clean up a oil Spill, you want to be remembered in your life have the Biggest clean up on earth, Plant a million trees. Feed the homeless Sure that's a good plan how bout Give Him a job, Recycle plastic, nothing like the rewarding factor of a days work for a days pay, and you got something for your money and so did he or she.
