If I Had $1 Million (Tag)

Frank of The New Parent tagged me to tell what I would do if I won/had $1 million. Did you know that the average worker will earn more than a million dollars during his lifetime?

US Census (2002) stats on lifetime earnings by degrees (high school, bachelor, masters, PhD)

• High school $1.2 (million)
  
• Some college $1.5
  
• Associate $1.6
  
• Bachelor’s $2.1
  
• Masters $2.5
  
• Professional Degree $4.4
  
• Doctoral $3.4

So we actually decide how we will "spend $1 million" every day. That's a rather sobering thought.

Alright, here are the rules for this particular tag.

1st- Tell what you would do "If You Had $1,000,000.00 ... "

This is what I would do if I somehow obtained $1 million in lump sum form.

• Give a minimum of 10% to our church and 10% to missionaries.
• Pay off our only remaining debt - our mortgage and car payment.
• Stick away a substantial amount of money for our girls.
• Save and invest a large portion.
• Pay for our extended families to join us for a week's vacation at a beach cottage on the Outer Banks.
• Allot a small portion for recreational spending - what is the fun of having extra money if you can't spend a little bit? *smile*
