Dreaming of Money no comments
I’m not sure how it came about, but today, my friends and I were talking about the lottery. Probably, it was one of those instances where you’re lounging and talking for so long that the topics run dry, and change, and change again. Perhaps something about the lottery came on the television.
The news has certainly been filled with lottery stories recently. Here is one such example: someone has won despite not even buying a ticket. Quite nice, I would imagine.
We were debating what we would do with the money, if we were ever lucky enough to win. The jackpots are so huge these days that I can honestly say I don’t really know what I would spend it on. It would be important to me to take care of my parents, that much I do know. I would happily sort their mortgage out, and would be tempted to get my dad the sports car he’s always wanted, that sort of thing. Apart from that, I would just bask in the joy of not being in any debt, I think. Maybe put a fair bit of it in something like one of these high interest savings accounts, and then you could just live off the interest.
That’s not to say I’d be as laid back with it as these two, who are content to live in their parent’s home despite winning over £2 million. But I would be quite relaxed; it would just be nice not to have to worry about anything.
