Many of my friends who know me know that someday I plan on winning the lotto. Now I am well aware that its a thing of chance and I probably have a better chance of being hit by lightning but maybe if I will myself to believe we can win then someday it will happen. Before I start sounding like one of those crazy people who want to be silly rich let me explain what I plan on doing with the money.
The very first thing I want to do is call my parents and my in-laws and tell them to retire and stop working!! Honestly that would be the greatest thing to be able to tell my parents to just sit back and relax and enjoy life. And to be able to have the in-laws visit whenever they want instead of just being able to see them once a year. How awesome would that be!!
Then I would want to put money away so we can send Sophia to whatever college she wants and be able to go to school and not worry about working or student loans. Then we can also have another child and be sure that they will also be set for the future. And maybe just maybe adopt another child.
Then for us I would want the American dream of owning our own home. Now I am not talking about a mansion because honestly I think huge houses are a wast of space. I would just like something we can pay for out right and never have to worry about a mortgage and something larger than 1100 square feet. We have moved up in the world, our first apartment was about 650 square feet, but my dream is to have double sinks and a walk in closet.
And depending on how much we win helping out other family members and donating to worthy charities. For some reason the number 96 million has always been in my head and I have literally had a dream where we won the exact amount of 96 million. That would be amazing but holly cow what would you do with all that money??!! I know I could find a way but to be honest I would be super happy with one million.
I will say that I am incredibly happy with where our life is now, we have a roof over our head and food on the table. I don't just expect things to get handed to me and I do look forward to getting back to work, doing what I don't know, but something tells me we will win!! Its just my silly wishful thinking and there are not too many people would not like to win but the thought of helping out the people we love the most would be fantastic!! So here is to wishful thinking :-)
