New Prompt: 5 Items I would Buy with a Million Dollars

If I won a lottery of some sort and had an extra million dollars what are the 5 things I would buy?

Wow! Where to start!

1.  More life insurance. I used to have ample life insurance, but had to cash part of it in to pay off hospital and funeral expenses when my wife passed.  I have slowly been repaying that debt, but if I passed tomorrow, my kids would have to sell the "home place" to pay those expenses and one outstanding debt that is slowly decreasing, but still staring me in the face. So that would be my first purchase.

2.  A new car. My Chrysler is getting old, now 11 and has well over 100,000 miles on it. I have been looking at the new cars, way to expensive for my blood, but if I had a windfall, I would buy a little, red two passenger sports car of some kind. A convertible of course.

3.  New carpet in my dining room. 24 years, 3 dogs and a cat, plus 5 to 7 adults and at least 4 grands eating meals on it at the table, it simply needs to be replaced.

4.  The stuff to completely remodel the bathroom everyone uses  (but me, I have my own). The fixtures are old, and don't work too well. The walls need redone, and a new ceiling would be nice. I want more storage built in while I am at it.

5.  Probably wouldn't hurt to replace my 24 year old refrigerator and dish washer. They are gonna go sometime, and maybe that would be a good way to replace them instead of buying them on time at Sears and paying half again as much!  LOL!

As you can see, my wants are few and probably ridiculous to some, but I am a simple guy with simple tastes.  In all reality, if I won a million dollars, I would finance my grands college education as much as I could, set in trust funds, and save the rest for a rainy day!  But this was a "dream" exercise. I am still not too old to dream.

Until next time,

Peace,
