Money, Money, Money, Money, MOOONEEEYY!!

Last night was the $550 million Power ball and while I don't live in Missouri or Arizona, I'm still clinging to hope that a very close relative of mine did, in fact, win the lottery. Neil went in with 55 of his closest colleagues and bought some tickets. He studied all 55 tickets last night starting at about 9:40 until 10:05. Though he did win $7, split 55 ways I don 't think we are in a position to quit our jobs just yet.


It did get me thinking about what I would do besides the obvious of getting out of debt, making sure our parents are set for life and quitting my job Jerry McGuire style. I wonder if I'd adopt a bunch of pound puppies (obviously only the cute ones... kidding...), travel the world helping out people who need it, take care of all my friends and family, build a gold plated shrine to Clark in place of the Bean in Millennium Park? The possibilities are endless, which I guess is what is fun about actually playing the lottery, it gives you something fun to think about. As the years go on, I find myself getting more and more stressed and overwhelmed about money, so it's nice to step back and pretend what life would be like if you won half a billion dollars!

Move over Jay and Bey, we're taking over the south of France soon!
