Pay off mortgage. Pay off car. Pay off student loans. Pay off medical debts. Prepay Cara's allergist for her next few years of Allergy shots. Pay off parents' mortgages. Pay off siblings' college loans. Give random family members large amounts of money. Pay off best friend's mortgage. Preorder Ford Escape Hybrid SUV (in red, cloth seats). Dump $3000 in my Roth IRA, open Eric's and deposit another $3000. Go to Pure Austin (new gym) and pay for us to join for the next four years, plus training, etc.

I figure that's a day's worth of phone calls, if I start as soon as they open.

Go to By George and buy fabulous expensive dress. Go to dinner at Chez Zee. Drink too many martinis. Go home and sleep.

Whew. I'm kind of exhausted just thinking about all of that.

HMMMM......I would first pay off everything I owe, then after buying a new house, new car and whatever cool toys I can think of, I would write GIGANTIC checks out to my mom and dad, my sister and her family and some of my friends! Oh and the in-laws too! I would also give a blank check to finding a cure for IBS!!

... paying off everything I owe and everything the boyfriend owes. Then I'd pay cash outright for the house we're in the process of buying. I'd also buy him his Jeep and me my Prius. And prepay the insurance for as many years as they'll let me.

I don't have health insurance, so medical treatment of any kind is a big issue for me. I'd likely make a bazillion dr's appointments and prepay all of them. How's that for a fun expenditure?

I'm a plan-ahead kind of person, so I'd do as much of my holiday gift-shopping as I can possibly think of.

And I'd donate a good bit to the local medical center, as well as the oncology department of the med ctr in my hometown.

I suppose I'd treat myself to something too. LOL! Jewelry store and vintage-clothing shops, here I come!

Can't you tell I'm good at spending money? Haha.

WOW! What a cool thing to think about.$$$$$$

I would run around like a crazy person paying off bills.
Buy new car, house and lots of luxuries.
Make sure my kids, mom and sister have everything they need.
Get lots of gift cards to use at later date when I had more time.
Give lots to as many charities as I can.
Set up an IBS Foundation to do research on IBS and find cure. (and Fibro, too.)
Try to help as many needy families as possible.
Put tons of $ in banks and stock market for later use.

Whew, spending money wears me out! I may have to go over the 24 hours to get all this done. Can I have an assistant?

Ah, you and I think alike. I would pre order the new Ford Escape Hybrid SUV. Still a Hybrid, 40 miles to the gallon, and room for all the puppies and potential kiddos.

Sweet! I had a Prius as a rental car a couple months back... after driving it for a week, I was officially in love. It seems like a smallish car, but it's surprisingly roomy - good for camping gear, pet-vet runs, and yup, a future coupla kiddos. Heh.
