Big Bucks

I just saw an interesting challenge on a friend Lisa's blog (one of my very alltime FAVORITE blogs to read- she's such an amazing person and so insightful, so funny, so adventurous, I just adore her). It got me to thinking - especially today in rememberance of all those folks who died 7 years ago and would trade places with us willingly (big bucks or no big bucks)...what would I do?

So here's the challenge:

If you had a million bucks and you had to allocate it immediately - how would you spend it?

Here's mine:


$200,000.00 Pay off the House

$150,000.00 Help family with their debt

$16,000.00 Pay off Line of Credit

$150,000.00 Remodel the house

$400,000.00 Retirement Investments

$10,000.00 Trip through Europe

$15,000.00 Save for Jordan's College

$15,000.00 Invest for Maddy's College

$15,000.00 Save for Baby #2's College

$9,000.00 Take "honeymoon" to Bonaire

$20,000.00 Pay for my honey to go back to college and finish his degree in whatever he'd like so he doesn't have to drive for UPS any more
