    if its a alot like 300 million or more i'd try and buy the new york islanders or be half owners of the new york mets

    if its a small amount id give some millions to everyone in my immediate family and trick out my wrangler and the rest id blow it all on seeing pearl jam around the world on tours and vegas
    Ron: I just don't feel like going out tonight
    Sammi: Wanna just break up?

  • What's the first selfish thing you buy yourself?

    I'd obviously pay off my debt and take care of my family, but the first selfish thing I'd buy myself is a plane ticket to join PJ on tour. If they're not touring, I'd buy a plane ticket to Europe.

    I have no need for expensive jewelry and clothes or flashy cars and big houses. I'd just travel.

    I'd be very happy to be able to pay off my credit card, but I think the first selfish thing I'd buy would be shoes. :mrgreen: Yeah.. :think: I think I'd go a little shoe-crazy. :lol:

    If it was one of the ridiculous jackpots like that powerball last week- $250 mill I think it was. I would:

    -Pay off debts
    -Buy mansions for myself and my fiance, my parents, her parents
    -Follow PJ around the world

    Other than that, I'd do pretty much whatever the hell I wanted to!

Oh, and the best and biggest macbook pro.

    And one of these: I would love to have a tiny self-contained single room house to call my own, to sit in, to study in.... http://www.tumbleweedhouses.com/

    :lol: If i had one of those tiny houses I would never leave it! It would be my 'art studio'.

  • ahhhhh, what a dream!

    what splurge? hmmmmm....probably a whole new wardrobe. then start on the plans to do all the things to my house i REALLY want to, but can't afford. pay off the mortgage, thankfully no other debts outside of that. give some $$$ to family, and i'd travel, travel, travel ... wine, sex and music all along the way... :lol:
    Stay with me...
    Let's just breathe...


    I am myself like you somehow

    OMG that would be PERFECT as a little art space. I want!!

    As for a splurge, probably a nice big house.

    For a super selfish splurge with *no* redeeming value to anybody but me? Probably a super sexy muscle car, fast as all hell....or a tricked out Lincoln Continental, suicide doors, black with white leather interior and a boomin stereo :)

    If I won though, like hella money, definitely would get a house, give my sis money so she can get one too and a nice car, erase all our debt, help friends out, and travel like a mofo!

    1. Pay off my house.
    2. Pay off my husband's work van.
    3. Set enough aside for a great education for my little one.

    I know that's boring but that's really what I would do. :lol::D

    I guess if I had anything after that I would get Adelaide 1998 PJ poster. ;)

    A huge house in Boulder City, NV. Close to Las Vegas which I love visiting but also very close to Hoover Dam...perhaps the coolest and most peaceful place on Earth for me.
