What would you do with a million dollars?
So there is this guy who has...had a car, a Bugatti Veyron French made sports car. Distracted by a low flying pelican, he dropped his cell phone. When he attempted to pick up said cell phone, he veered his Bugatti Veyron in the the Salt Marsh next to the road. Salt Marsh people, salt water, that ain't good. To read this article, click here.
Why mention this? Do you know how much a Bugatti Veyron costs? 1.25 million dollars. You read that right my super awesome blog readers, 1.25 million dollars.
Hubby thought of the song, "If I Had a Million Dollars" by Bare Naked Ladies. I thought, no seriously, what would I do with 1.25 million dollars.
Not trying to judge the poor bloke (if I knew him though, I might make fun of him unmercifully), but you can bet it wouldn't be blown on a Bugatti Veyron. Warning there may be a good mixture of Good Samaritan and indulgent so if you lean towards either side (i.e. use it all for good or if you use it all for good your a goodie two shoes well get over it 'cause if I had 1.25 million dollars I would just buy people to tell me how awesome I am... um, just kidding).
For starters by the time Miss Wiggles is in college that might all go to that. I don't plan on paying for all her college though, so I suppose she might get part of that.
I'd pay off debt and maybe some other people debt if I know they know not to get into debt again. I'd use it as a reward then after they go through Financial Peace University.
Of course there are all the charities, buy my church their new building maybe, help Jay Sekulow, donate to Crisis Pregnancy Center, CASA (Child Advocates), Free Spay and Neuter Services (I would start with the twenty stray cats in my neighborhood), International Mission Board, scholarship funds for foster children and more.
I would love to be a philanthropist. I could handle that.
I'd invest some in my new jewelry business and start a nonprofit side that gives jewelry and other small hand made items to foster children and raise funds by selling handmade items (there are a lot more details to this, but I'll stop there). This is an actual dream of mine, well it all is, but this in particular is my baby.
Okay, now for the not so altruistic stuff. I want the boots that Cloggsy has here. I would finally get that horse I have always dreamed about (two 'cause he would need a friend and I would need a riding buddy). Nothing expensive 'cause any horse is expensive without making the horse some special breed or something.
I would buy a house out in the country, yes, a house like the song says. This house wouldn't be anything special but it would be on enough land so that I could have a guest house for the International Mission Board and church leadership to use as a place to take a break. Ok, so I know I said no more altruistic, but that is extravagant in it's own right.
I would finally have a Kate Spade purse...maybe two...with matching wallets.
That's it. I honestly can't think of anything else. Oh, yeah and and 1 karat marque cut diamond earrings. Hubby just said that I should buy two sets 'cause he knows I'll end up losing one pair. So maybe buying these earrings, knowing how easily I lose earrings would be as smart as buying a 1.25 million dollar Bugatti Veyron.
