If I had a million dollars......I'd be rich.

There was a radio announcement the other day that the 6/49 had something like 22 millions up for grabs. Everytime I ear something like that, I inevitably start day dreaming. It's a pathetic bad habit I must try to eradicate. But, but, just one more time, let me pretend that I am super rich

What would I do?
I will attemp to find 50 things I would do with 22 millions. That should be very easy considering I am a professional daydreamer.

well, of course, can't help the fact that I always pretend that this is real, so of course the first thing that comes to me is how I would divide my 22 millions. Well. First, I would give one million to each member of my family, plus my boyfriend. so we're down to 18 millions. Then I would give away 5 millions to my families (including my cousins) on my and my mom's side. what is it good to be rich if you can't share it. The only problem is that they are numerous! So, let's see 5 millions divided by, huh, 48 persons (gulp), plus my best friends (5 more people), equals, 95 thousand each. Ok what if I would give only to my cousins? 156 thousand each. Better than a slap on the face I guess. Then I would reserve like say, 1 million for various donations over the next ten years. So, I got 12 millions left. What to do?

Investing is what comes to mind first. Let's say I would invest in indicial index funds...Say I get an annual return of 3 percent a year, doing nothing. So, annually, I would make 360 thousand. Or, another way to go about this would be to keep the entire 22 millions. I would have 660 thousand to share each year... Every year I could give like 500 thousand away to my hum, 53 friends and family members, 9.5 thousand a year per person.

Anyway, let's say I have now like 660 thousand a year to spend. What would I do?

1. go back to university, in Arts. [30 thousand over 4 years]
2. Buy a about 40 acres in the interior to build a house in the interior [200 thousand]
3. Buy a condo in Vancouver. [200 thousand]
4. buy a condo in Mtl [150 thousand]

there goes my first year!

5. get a kiln, a pottery wheel [5 thousand]
6. make an art studio [20 ooo]
7. build a house [windows 20 grands; well 10gr; foundation 10 gr; other materials 30 gr= 60 gr] this is a hand build home of course.
8. get a new lill Echo
9. train about 3 hours a day for triathlons.
10. travel around the globe for potterie inspiration and art inspiration.
11. get up in the morning at 4 oclock
12. do 45 minute of meditation in the morning
13. do 1 hour of yoga in the morning.
14. consult with trainers to make sure I don't get injured.
15. focus on staying healthy.
