31 Day Blog Challenge: Day 12 - If I won the lottery...

Oh what a fun idea! If I won the lottery, the first thing I would do is thank GOD. What a blessing that would be in our lives. My next task would be to take some money and give it to my grandpa Charly. He has worked hard every day of his life and it would be cool to know that he could continue to do what he loves to bargain and create and not have any financial pressures (though I don't know his finances or if he is pressured). My next task would be to provide a retirement for both my parents and Jason's parents. Whether they chose to retire or not, but to give them money to take care of themselves. For all the gifts they have blessed our lives with I would want to be able to give them this back. The next would be to let Jason quit his job, buy his Harley and do whatever he has planned (on a budget! LOL) He has given me so much to be able to do what I have done. I would set up a trust fund for Evan. I would also want to find ways to add blessings to our siblings, nieces, and nephews lives.

Now I believe that you can give to God in many ways. That it doesn't always have to be through a church. I would first quit my job as a Math Teacher and actually work with a school district to be a volunteer math teacher. Have the chance to go in and work with kids and help them learn one of the skills they need to know and understand.

My next would be to start a foundation to help support a cure for Alzheimer's Disease and to support families who have a love one who is struggling with Alzheimer's. I really have an idea in my head and I would be able to the time and money backing to help support this cause. Even without the lottery, I hope that I am able to say this I have done before my days are done.

So, not sure if that is as exciting as someone else's would be but that would be the jist of mine. The main thing is I would want to be smart with the money and not spend it all and be back to where we are or even in a worse position.

Peace out for now ~
