Comments on: about that million everyone is always talking about… http://blogjem.com/2008/01/30/about-that-million-everyone-is-always-talking-about/ a new yorker's blog Mon, 28 May 2012 07:26:57 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: Library Lady http://blogjem.com/2008/01/30/about-that-million-everyone-is-always-talking-about/#comment-15650 Fri, 01 Feb 2008 18:46:25 +0000 http://blogjem.wordpress.com/?p=364#comment-15650 My eight year old has this as a writing assignment this week, in fact. Said she’d either buy “freedom from school” or ANOTHER million. How she figured she’d do either, I don’t think I want to know :)

Everyone says they’d like to be rich, but when you see what the lottery does to most of the people who win big, it doesn’t make me want to buy any tickets. Truthfully, I’d settle for enough to pay off our consumer debt (mostly fun things like dental bills I had to put on the credit card) and our mortgage. Any leftover I’d probably add to the girls college accounts. Because even if JR THINKS she’s getting freedom from school, college is very much in her future!

Knowing myself, I’d want to buy lotsa books, animes, mangas, clothes and anything else. Then, I’d just be the miser I am and not use anything at all :D

I would like a bigger house – but nothing too grand. My house is only 900 square feet – which considering you live in NY you may have a lot less square footage than me – but I’d like to have something a little bigger.

Other than that I would use some of it to make my mom’s life more comfortable, and the rest I’d put in the bank.

Fun thing to think about on a rainy afternoon. :)
