    My wife needed to write a 2 page composition for her spanish class. She's too busy to write it since she's preparing a class she needs to teach and working on her research for her field paper, due in December.

    So.... she trusted me with this assignment (and I hate her for it), but I'm running out of ideas.
    The task goes like this:

    Write a 2 page composition about what you would do if you won the lottery.
    -What would be the advantages and disadvantages of having so much money?
    - Also comment on the reaction of your family and friends and how your relations with your loved ones could change.


    She gave me a template or plan of action, here it is:

    So far, I travel a lot around the world, I have a beach house near a reef, nice cars, I own a prestigious club, a 1k gallon reef swimming pool like highfive's and all the other fish freak related things. So now that I've listed all I want, I need things that normal people would want but are not related to fish! I know it's hard because we're all freaks here (and you know it!) so let me have the normal stuff!!! What would you do?

    Thanks for the help!

    - Mag.

    Id buy a house and furinsh it and also buy a car...put money into stocks and bonds and alot into a large cd......invest invest invest to set my self up for the future!


    buy my parents a house and pay it off......set money aside to pay the taxes on my house for the nex 50 years (seperate bank account) this way i never have to worry about not having a home....


    buy aboat and jetskii

    i dont see any disadvantages other then if you quit your job and spend all ur money and get your self into a crazy debt...some people might go buy a large house and nice car but not pay them off in full thus screwing them selfs in the future


    id also start my own business of some sort, depending on where i live and what would be popular

    Hey!! The jet skii is only natural if you have a beach house, right!? I didn't think about that! Thanks!
    I also have very hard time trying to find disadvantages, other than seeing the true faces of some of your friends. I've seen this happen before and it's disappointing. Investments are also a great idea. Thanks for the help, bud! +k goes out to ya!

    Put I will no longer make my husband sleep on the couch when I am mad.


    I would definitely visit europe see the sights. get a sailboat and sail around the world seeing different islands. While at sea I would work on making my tan lines disappear.

    go to wimbledon watch a tennis championship.

    I would build my own estate, nothing to big but a very nice grounds almost like a park.

    I would buy a plane & get my pilots license. In that order! haha.

    I'd design my own house, invest in some stock, buy one or two nice cars, a baby grand piano. Help out my family. Pay off college debts, or debt in general.

    I really want a big sailboat too. :) Oh and travel the world.

    hmm..the negatives...I guess if you didn't properly manage your money...or if you got too greedy...maybe loose relationships you once had with friends/family.

    the disadvantages would be waiting for the next payment to come in, because they don't lump sum it.

    nvm they will do a lump sum but the taxes will be more.

    HERE IT IS LOL I FOUND IT :D i was watching the TV show.. " the lottery changed my life"
    and i was mad that the government took almost half the money in taxes and stuff so people told me that they still had a lot of money nonetheless and they wouldn't know what to do with such.. so i sad ............


    Seano... Trust me... I know what to do with 100+ million dollars. :D

    First = Ferrari, lamborghini and corvette
    Second = super huge house. 1 for me 1 for my parents with indoor and outdoor pools and elevator and stuff ( mansion)
    Third = pay for medical school
    Fourth = pay for the best docs for my sister
    Fifth= get myself a personal chef and Butler
    Sixth= get my self a personal driver with a limo. A long one to get an even higher self esteem. ( family guy reference)
    Seventh= Open a butt load of restaurants to continue the chain :) ( my dad owns 2 restaurants).
    Eight= Donate some to charity and environmental changes
    And ninth= save the rest for other stuff and emergencies and investment to get even more money.

    :) Now with my plan.. All I need now is to win the lottery lol easy!! Lol
