Thursday's Thirteen Ways To Blow a Wad!

Thirteen Things Jerri Would Do If She Won The Mega Bucks Lottery!
(Let's assume it's a really large jackpot...oh say 300 million or so!)

1…. I would gut and remodel our home.

2.... I would find the world's kindest, most altruistic dentist to provide dental care for my family, and I'd pay him/her triple just for being such a generous person. (Can you tell that I have issues with dental care and dental care providers?)

3.... I would tell my sister to quit her job and I would write her a blank check to follow her dreams!

4.... I would learn to kayak.

5.... I would pay to publish my husband's novel.

6.... I would give Annie the nest egg of her dreams.

7.... I would stash just enough money away to ensure that our children could go to college and that my husband and I would have enough for a modest retirement.

8... I would fund athletic scholarships for children in my city who wish to compete in school athletics but cannot afford the participation and equipment fees.

9... I would support the various agencies in our city that deal hands on with the issues surrounding homelessness.

10... I would support the arts!

11... I would give generously to our church, especially to the Recovery and the Neighborhood/Caring ministries.

12... I would support adult literacy and ESL programs.

13... Excluding the little bit I would reserve for my own modest retirement and the monies I would reserve for my childrens' education (we are talking less then 10 mil here), I would make it my mission to give away every single penny to the people and to the community I love!
