If you won the lottery would you......?

p1key.....I couldn't have said it better.....Something's Bothering Me today. More importantly than winning Money. Why in the world have you ( of all Fish ) Dropped down to a Red-Star?!!! ( Panic ) Who in the world gave you this rating? ( Let me at 'em ! ) ( HEy....I sound just like the cowardly Lion , from the wizard of Oz! ) Put 'em up...Put 'em up !!!!!! I would probably start enough Charities , that I would be BAck to where I currently am in Life. But....I would be comforted in Knowing I made a Difference in the world. A positive difference. Besides....Friendship is More VAluable than the Lottery............ I love my P1key.....God-Bless!

One thing I always thought i'd do is start an animal sanctuary. But i'd definately give to charity. I feel bad that I can't afford to give monthly to charity at the moment but i'm deeply in the red. Speaking of red, I don't understand the stars even! I didn't know you could slip! What on earth do they mean? Do they have one in green?

Thank you Ag. I'm not too bothered about my star. My ratings were 99/100 for months, then when I had my "protest" they slipped to 96 and they are now 94 I think. I expect someone thinks I am silly and rates me negatively. Their problem not mine. My friends are my most important stars. They are 100/100 all the time. XX

I find keeping up with the bills incredibly stressful as i'm deeply in the red. It really depresses me and i'm trying to sort it out. So i'd had to agree it would be so much less stressful. I pay all my bills monthly so being able to pay them in full when they come would feel amazing.

Invest, quit, start doing my hobbies full time. Would be wicked to use that cash to fly to Southern Italy to photograph and film. Depending on how much I could look into film production.

yeah.. It definitely will be harder to concnetrate in work as the motivation is no longer there when we have lotsa and lotsa of money waiting at home ofr us to spend.. ANd there's no point in working for a mearse sum of salary.. PLus conflicts in work will make it worse, because one will be thinking, i can quit now and i dun need to endure it anymore, wat's more, i've got tons of money at home.. ALl these factors can actually cause us to lose our head and stop working for the wrong reasons.. So by doing something that u like, will be a good thing ^_^

I think it would be hard to concentrate at work knowing you didn't have to be there. I think i'd personally find it harder especially if someone is being rude to me. I'd have to end up working for myself. Or maybe studying something i'd love to do.

I'd definately give some of my money away. I'd start with my family and friends and then look donating to good causes.

I rarely rant about work. Even if something has wound me up when i'm on the bus I switch off! I'd definately want to pursue my hobbies and maybe see what comes from that. Fingers crossed as i'm playing the lottery tonight!

I enjoy my current job but if I had loads of money and the chance to pursue my hobbies I would leave. Not straight away though. I think I would study some more also. I think everybody has said they would quit their job though.

You see I like the job I do at the moment but there is other stuff i'd love to do if I had the money. I think i'd be doing something more creative if I had the chance.

I'd like to think i'd hold on as long as possible but I bet i'd get fidgety and lazy.

I'd put a load in savings but for the last 6 months I have slowly been designing my dream home in my head. It looks wonderful! and I think i'd make it as green as possible.

Welcome to mylot. How about running your own business though? or following a dream that you haven't been able to afford to do before. Both of those options apply to me, I have dreams I can't afford and a business i'd love to set up!

Thanks to your response,I think you have expressed my opinion clearly,the same to me!

That's a good idea. Gives you time to gather your thoughts and think about your dreams.

I think if I won a load of money, quit my job, and had plenty to splash out on i'd first get my house under construction (i've designed this in my head, it's gorgeous) and then i'd go to a few place i've always wanted to or place I wanted to revisit; Klagenfurt, Austria Paris, France Orland, Florida Portmerion and York, England Ferragudo, Portugal Reykjavík, Iceland I could keep going actually.

Am I a millionaire? No. If I was i'd be a whole lot happier and I wouldn't be working hard everyday. Well i'd still work hard but work doesn't seem hard when you're doing it for your own goal.

wowwwwwwww anice comment back! nice thought dear and thanks for sharing your thoughts.

I think if I did stay in work I wouldn't put the effort in, it wouldn't be fair on them either! Saying that I don't think i'll win the lottery any time soon.

If I was working doing something I loved something creative I wouldn't quit that. The job I do now is a job I love but it's not something I'd want to bring home with me. I'd love to find something that I'd do any time of the day paid or not. Something that I'd be as passionate about as you are about writing. I think as soon as my neck and arm are fixed, well if, I will learn to play a musical instrument or two as i've never really tried hard before even though I have loads of friends that are extremely musical. I love music but I think I always thought I had plenty of time to learn something new, having this problem with my arm has made me realise I need to go for it now rather than wait for a rainy day.

I think I wouldn't be so level-headed. Too be totally honest i'm a bit lazy too so I just couldn't imagine working for anyone else. I'm good at motivating myself for my own tasks though! I'd love to be able to spoil my friends and family.

I think that's the ideal for most people. I'd do the same except it would be a different type of business. I just couldn't imagine working for someone else again.

I always play my national lottery online. Same line each draw. no luck yet, well not on the big money put i've won the odd £10.

haha i'll remember that. What with the cost of living and heavy debt I never have any money leftover. Hopefully that will all change soon though! Unfortunately not with the lottery win but debt management :(

I'd find it really hard to concentrate at work. I think i'd end up shopping online at every break or lunch time I had!
