I would pay off all our bills. Buy some land like a ranch and build a house. New cars, maybe. I am not interested if I have the newest car, just if it runs. But if i were rich, I would probably want something nicer.
Than I would just live a comfortable non stressful life.

OH! Maybe a honeymoon since we never did one. But if we did, I would want to take the kids so we would go someplace like Disneyworld.

If I were rich, I would buy a new house, closer to hubby's work. I would buy new cars, buy my parents, my inlaws and our 3 sisters new homes. Give all some to live off and set up trust funds for my kids later in life. What a dream....

I would pay off my house and get a backyard makeover. I would buy dh a new bike and a new truck. I love my car so no changes for me. I would also let dh quite work so he could finish school faster. Other then that I would still be me. I cant think of much else I would change in my life. I just wanna be able to pay my bills,

Cook most of our meals at home. The more I cook, the more I realize just how lousy most restaurant food ~ and I'm not just talking chains and junk food ~ is. Granted I'd go to ONE place, preferably one like Trader Joes, buy only organic everything. But I'd still cook most of our meals at home. But I'd hire a maid to clean up

Cut coupons and use them, shop at Dollar Tree, shop sales, use store coupons and perks to get free stuff, buy my kids clothes at resale shops, use out to eat coupons and buy and use the yearly Entertainment Coupon Book. I would probably not do anything too different than I do now, except I could be a bit more relaxed in other areas. But just because I would have more money doesn't mean I would pay full price for something if I didn't have to.

Work. Although I'd appreciate the extra flexibility I'd have when I didn't HAVE to earn money. And I'd spend more time volunteering, particularly with organizations like Habitat for Humanity.

I would:

Buy a house (something really nice in the burbs)
Plant a huge garden/orchard at that house
Get really nice energy saver appliances
buy a hybrid
Help out my family
Get my daughter the best educational help possible so she wouldn't struggle in school anymore
Hire a dietician to help us have a better diet
hire someone to clean, especially the floors

Other than that, I would still use coupons and buy most of the brands I already do, cuz I love them. I would definetly still use Scott toilet paper, I can't stand anything else. I don't really like clothes and shoes shopping so that would not really change.

I would continue to live as I am now...but would really like to build a new house without the headaches of this one...and a newer vehicle...

...and I would still hate giving the insurance companies all of my money!! That is sinful!
