    Build a tree fort in our yard

    I could help, it wouldn't be that hard.

    You guys could put a little tiny fridge in there somewhere

    They have pre-wrapped sausages but they don't have pre-wrapped bacon.........

    Well can you blame them?

    1 - Move house nothing crazy just nice.
    2- Buy as many properties as possible.
    3. Renovate and rent out all properties for 10-15 years, sell them all and hopefully have enough to retire on at 45.

    So sad when a million dollars doesn't excite me as much as it did 20 years ago. It is a lot sure but not entirely life changing.

    1. pay off all debt
    2. move somewhere that I can live really simple

    You win the lottery and take home 1 million dollars. What's the first three things you do?



    For me:
    1) Pay off everything
    2) Buy a Grand Piano
    3) Move somewhere scenic!

    If I were you I would move first then buy the Grand...then you don't have to risk moving it!

    >.< So you'd give her the house and half of the money? Better person than I. I'd hide the money and give her the house only.
