If I won The Lottery

So, I've been thinking about the lottery... Again. I finally think I have broken down a list that covers almost everything I'd like to do, or at least everything I could see that would need to be done. So! Lets say I win 100 million dollars. I would take the lump some, I'm just that kind of person. After taxes had been taken out I would be left with roughly 75 Million dollars. Initially when thinking about how much money that really is I felt a bit overwhelmed! How could anyone find enough things that they legitimately wanted to be able spend it all! Well after a day on the internet i think i've found out how! #1: First off I'd divide the money up. I would take about 10 million dollars and divide it up among my family equally. I've always that about many as much more of something to be spent than something to be saved, unless of course you are saving it for the sake of spending it on something really good! I would like for my family to be responsible with this gift though, and I'd like to see that they never worry again about bills, vacations, or not being able to buy that shiny new gadget they've got their eye on! #2: I'd take 5 million dollars to spend over the next few years on things that I want to do, buy, or want to fund. I would then continue to buying a piece of property somewhere really nice, preferably cloudy and rainy, and then begin construction on the house of my dreams. I've always wanted a house of my very own, somewhere specifically designed to fit my lifestyle, and to be equipped with the tools and space to allow me to work on my projects. I would design a house that is predominantly modern, but still has hints of classic styles. I would then outfit the house with all of the tools I would need for my work. A top quality computer integrated into my home, a workshop (the bat cave) with all of the machines that i might find myself needing, a studio for my photography and video projects, and editing office and a design studio. #3: I'm very interested in travel, so my next goal would be to see as many places as I possibly can, without doing it all at once, I'd like to travel my whole life, and explore the world. I'm a photographer and an artist at heart, so I can imagine myself having projects all around the world, using the profits to give money to charity, and make the world a better place. I'd like to see all of the places that most people haven't. I want to photograph the tribes of the world, understand their cultures and learn about them as a people. I'd like to see endangered animals with my own eyes, maybe interact with them, and definitely photograph them.

#4: I in between traveling I would like to wok on film and story projects. I really love art and media so I would like to help musicians get their work out there, and help film makers make their ideas a reality, I would take 10 million dollars out of the remaining 60 and would put that towards starting a studio. This studio would be a project in the working, i would have a mass casting call looking for artists with extreme talent, over a huge array of genres and skillets. Choosing the best out of each skill set I would form a creating company that would work on everything from new products, to new music movies and video games. We would design things specifically for the consumer, and would request that they have an active voice throughout the whole process. #5: Now this one may seem a bit cliche, but I'd like to start a family in the middle of all this. Kids, a husband, the whole shebang! The kids will be outrageously smart, and whatever it is that they decide they love or want to do with their life I will help them find it and support it no matter what it is. And as for my husband, well I really just want him to love me, and for us to be happy together. #6: The rest of the 50 million dollars would be invested, preferably in tax leans. I'm not a big risk kind of guy, and I'd really like for my money to grow by helping people. This money would be considered the family estate. This would go to ensuring that no one I love has to worry about anything, and that my family for generations will have fun and rewarding, happy lives. & if you're interested in the short superficial list of things that I want here you go! #7: I want a Savannah cat... so bad. They're the most beautiful creatures in my mind and I just can't help but want one. #8: I'd have all the health/body stuff done. Not saying I want tones of face lifts or implants, but I have a broken nose and wouldn't mind having it put back the way it was. I'm also missing two of my teeth that I would like to have replaces. I would have my skin damage corrected and have anything threatening to my life corrected. I would hire a physical trainer, and a nutritionist and would have them teach me how to be the best I can be because I'd like to live a very long and happy fulfilling life. #9: theres tons of little techy things that I'd love to have, but I don't really see much point in listing them here. http://www.pinterest.com/shane0122/the-wish-list/ Thanks for reading! I hope you enjoyed this, it really got me thinking about what it is I want to accomplish during my life and I think that is a really good thing. I'm hoping that maybe it will get you guys thinking about what you want to do with your life, because we really do just have one terribly short human life and it's a shame that so much of us waste it not living!
