Being Rich!!

[Janet]

Did any of you catch Oprah this afternoon? She had people on that either won the lottery, found money or worked hard and earned it, and then to lose it in the end. Most lost it by drugs or just spending it all foolishly. I would never do that if given the chance for a million dollars or really anything less. Some gave a lot to their friends only to find out, they really were not the kind of friend they should have. After getting the money, they just dumped them.

Seriously...what would you do if you found yourself with a great windfall?


I would pay of all that I owe, which really isn't all that much. I would put some back for my son's education and then invest the rest. Sure I would want to help out family and a couple of friends, but it wouldn't be anything like go out and buy them a new car, house or get them out of debt. If they were really good friends, I would hope that they would be satified with a couple hundred and that's it. The rest would be for me to live on. Not to say that I wouldn't divide it between family and friends after I passed away, but at least three fourths of it or more would be left for my son's future and hopefully he would invest it wisely too!
