Hey – I just remembered that Denis bought a Powerball ticket for last night’s (hee) $94M jackpot. No idea if we won (doubt it), but let’s do a good old fashioned “what I’d do with the money” post.
Wow – SC takes 7% in taxes and the payout on $94M would be $29M. Wow! That’s an amazing drop! God bless the SC schools that get all that money!
So let’s see $29M. That’s still a fantastic chunk of change.
1) quit my job – as much as I love working for Mr. BIL, I’d prefer not to work.
2) hire a financial planner and a lawyer. hee. Calling Mr. BIL! He’d be my lawyer, and one of his peers that I have grown to like would be the financial planner.
3) 10% off the top would go to various churches – with a healthy portion goign to our church in NoNJ and the plant church that just got started up there.
4) Create children’s trusts for the kids to receive in thirds on the 25th, 30th and 35th birthdays.
5) Buy significant acreage in the area and build our dream house.
6) Annual gifts to friends and family.
7) Live off the interest of the rest.
Oh, and a huge shopping spree and trip around the world.
update at 12:51 a.m. : We didn’t win the big money, but we did win $10! Nice!!
So? What will you do with the winnings? 😉
HA! Go to Sonic for burgers?
