I think it can be healthy to dream. So, you now have $10 mil tax free. Buy a house, cars, travel, help others.
What would you do specifically? Buy or build a house...ok, where?
Buy all sorts of transportation...like what?
Travel...where would you go exactly? How long would you travel? Would you be gone a year or just travel a few weeks at a time several times a year?
Clothes...Italy??
Private jet. Dinner in San Francisco..on a whim?
Anyway, anyone have some dreams?

set up non-profit foundation to make the money work for itself.
not stress over loans to finish degree. keep working on healing so the degree can be a reality instead of a "wait until well enough to continue" type of thing.
fly friends to come visit!! go and eat miso, rice and fish for brekkie and watch the sunrise while sitting at the beach.
become a crazy animal lady with tons of property and staff to properly care for the neglected and forgotten animals. all the ugly unadoptable ones would get first dibs to come live there.
tell us YOUR dreams!!

I like Canada, its cool :)

Put myself into the very best psych hospital there is and have every test known to man run to rule out any other abnormalities. And then if they helped get me better go back to Switerland. The most awesome place I've every been. Fondly, Phillipa

Rod, computer went offline and lost my message. I was there twice on holiday with hubby number two. Stayed in Vevey overlooking Lake Geneva. And further up the mountain his millionaire Siste lived. The streets are clean, people sweeping everyday, old people riding bicycles up mountains, fresh produce daily and walking to buy it. Healthier people. And daily trips to places like St Moritz, Guyere, and a place that only a train could get you there and electric cars only transportation for the rich and wealthy skiing. And waking up to the individual chimes of cow bells. Went there twice. And Belgium, Holland, Denmark, Paris, France, Austria, Germany what a life! Rod where do you live now? Fondly, Phillipa

I'd indulge some whims. Like pop over to the U.K. (first class!) to this woman's salon and get me some crazy-hair..
http://www.woolhairhabit.com/gallery.php
I'd buy a lovely house in a great part of San Franciso, or Sausolito, or even Seattle.
I'd quit my job at once! Later, suckahs! I'm not clear what I'd do with my time. I'd have to figure that out eventually...

I suspect this is going to sound too altruistic, and maybe some people are just like that and can't help themselves. I know it's kind of suspect, can't help that. I suspect, and I could be wrong about this, but I suspect that I'd find a villa in Italy, small teeny tiny, something I could afford. And I'd be growing grapes for wine, for sure. Definitely. But I'd also find a great deal of time for sailing, for exploring the Med. ... my god, what paradise.
And from there I'd have a business.
And my business would be, setting up housing and schools as a charitable organization in countries who are cruel to their people. And the first donations would be mine. And I'd be overseeing these projects with a huge team of people, and I'd make a new standard in world care. Because this is disgusting; what we are putting up with as citizens of a paranoid, psychopathically-oriented tradition of humanity, is sick.

Understanding all along, of course, that most of not all of those people also have it bred into them as human beings, to behave just as amoralistically as their persecutors, had they the opportunity and the circumstances.
We're sick, we're very ill, and most of us don't realize it. There's good people, of course there are. But it's a constant battle to be self-aware. It has to mean something to a person. And no, I do not love dogs more than people. They're absolutely equal. Give dogs the chance, and they every one will revert in a few generations, back to the nature they had before humanity, the ugly scourage, had the ability to create in them.
We're creators. But we're blind to ourselves.
Rant over, you can lambast me once again but remember, I'm being very very manic right now. I hate myself.

This was something I recently was asked, but regarding $100,000,000.
5 things I'd do with $100,000,000.00 (one hundred million): 1. Tithing.
2. Donate to appropriate research and charities regarding autism, especially genetics research, and education, and NAMI, a wonderful organization, and Bipolar and Anxiety Disorders groups, research, education, and a Mental Health Crisis Center that is wanted to be built in **** County, and *** Zoo cause they REALLY need the help. (And they need dolphins, I'd pay part of the cost to bring some here.) Dolphin communication research, and Save the Dolphins type of things, and Save the Sharks kind of things too because it's horrible to just cut off their fin, throw them back and have them slowly die. There are, of course, so many things that are horrible in this world, but you have to pick a few. I'd also fund some wells to be drilled for villages in Africa. As well as (all for Africa) for schooling for children, basic health care, and AIDS education measures. And I know I can't donate to everything, but the horrible situation in some African countries of girls and teens being assaulted in the worst ways, as well as sold into slavery, I would fund efforts to help these girls and women, because I know there are people and organizations trying to help, and free them too. Operation Give, which is an organization that gathers toys, school & medical supplies, and other things, for the children in Iraq and schools & hospitals that desperately need things. Programs in the U.S. for food and necessities for the poor.
I count all that donating as one thing, so now on to number 3. Swim with dolphins several times a year for the rest of my life. And any family and friends who wanted to as well. Sometimes these opportunities are on cruises, and so family and friends to come with me there too.
4. Pay off all family and close friends' bills, buy them all cars, make sure they have housing suitable to their life and needs, and of course buy my husband and I a house, with a fenced-in pool with all the best features, and most safety features as well. A house that is both environmentally-friendly as well as really easy-to clean, with a cool design, layout, and lots of nifty storage and organizational options. Also buy boats, water toys, and vehicles to pull such, and maybe even a Lake *** Houseboat or two for friends and family to go enjoy with and/or without us. And all the water fun parephernalia that goes along with, even if I never could get up on water skis no matter how hard I tried, once I moved to ***.
5. Travel! All over, and with any friends and family who want to come, like BIL & SIL to Italy, we could do some stuff together and some stuff separate cause of course everybody needs time as a couple alone, especially in the romantic countryside of Italy! His translating would come in handy of course, if he wanted to. Mexico with my husband, where he served his mission, and any other Spanish-speaking countries, and if other BIL wanted to show us Nicaragua. Oh, and another foreign country, TEXAS! Yet another BIL & SIL could show us around there. If my friend and her husband wanted to we'd pay of course, being filthy rich, and she could show us around Japan, where she lived when she was younger, and all sorts of other places they went. As they wanted to, when they wanted to, and if they wanted to. European travel of course. And I want to see the Pyramids of Egypt, although I'm nervous about traveling to that region, with some unrest and alot of anti-americanism. I'd like to see the Pyramids before I leave this earth, and marvel at them. Perhaps the Great Wall of China too, and those cool mountains that are like nothing anywhere else on earth, but some nerves about traveling there too. Well, I spose that's about enough. Lol
Very long, but I spose it's almost a kind of intro about me too. Lol. Hi . . . she said sort of shyly and yet manicly at the same time . . ..

I actually went into great detail about exactly how selfishly I'd spend my money. Ew, and I put me first and the charity second. See? See how easy it is to be self-delusional when you're manic????
