Okay, you got me dreaming now....... first pay off all bills and cancel any credit cards or other services I don't need/shouldn't have. I think I would move to an area where there was a lot more contiguous land so I could own about 300 acres. Or close to a state/national forest with lots of riding trails, maybe down to Tennessee. I would like to set up funds for teen moms, a ranch for troubled kids with the right people to run it, a theraputic riding facility (where I would work), give my kids about $500,000 each. Not enough to get into trouble but enough to buy a nice home, a good car and go to school. Then set up trusts for them to get when they are old enough to know what to do with it, when they are about 35 IF they have a job and some sense to them. I would like to help out people without them knowing it, maybe give a large monthly donation of goods to food banks, set up a fund for people who need help with bills, not people on welfare but people who work but could use some extra once in a while. Like to pay bills, buy food, go to the doctor. My family has done NOTHING for me ever so I would avoid them like the plague. Probably disappear to them. I would also take my husband to Germany for real treatments for his back trouble. The junk they do here in the states for people with back injuries is a joke. For myself, I just want a nice show horse I can take to open shows and place with. Don't need the blues, just to do it for fun. And work with Big Brothers/Big Sisters to help out kids who's parents are overworked, underpaid and need some help. Can you tell I was a young, single parent with no help? I would help out my sister cause she has been thru a lot of crap too. Other than not having to worry day to day about my bills, I am not sure how much I would change. There would be some inevitable changes, everyone would expect you to do for them, but I would still want to be out working in the garden (although I might hire some help or do things a bit differently than I do now) mowing the grass, building fence, and more. I would love to find a couple people who needed a home and who would work well and give them a place to live on the farm and let them work with me so I could get more done each day.
