big money, big money

the italian riviera -- absolutely beautiful i'd love to see it for myself

how much fun is it to think about what you would do if you won the lottery? i know the likelihood is slim to none and you're more likely to get hit by lightning five times in one day (okay maybe not five times) but it still fun to dream. i proposed the question at our small group this week and it was so fascinating listening to everyone's responses.

here are a few of the items on my list:

hire a professional and live off the investments...duh.
pay off all of our debt and our families debt...how cool would that be?
create a charity fund...i love volunteering and would love to be able to provide for all the organizations near and dear to my heart.
travel...going back to europe would be first on my list and then off to all 50 states i'd go.
work at a coffee shop...i'd probably sponsor free coffee tuesday or something crazy like that.

what would you do if you won $540 million dollars?
