Tithe the first 10%.
Build or buy a larger home so my girls could have their own bedrooms & there is a strong need for a 3rd full or half bathroom.
Pay off the van and later buy a smaller more fuel-efficient car (mine is 12 YO) for me during the week.
Pay off our remaining debts.
Pump up our retirement funds.
Establish college funds for the kids.
Share some with parents/in-laws.
Save some and donate some to charity.

1. Pay off outstanding debts
2. Buy land and house for us
3. Pay off my mom's and sil's mortgage
4. buy a modest house for my grandmother, she lives in a shack right now
5. Set up a retirement account
6. Set up college accounts for the kids
7. Travel!!!!!!! I've always wanted to take the kids to different countries to learn the culture.
8. Share a set amount of money with relatives.

Call it selfish but I would like my dream house and then to infest enough to keep us in a comfortable life style not extreamly extrafigant but where we can take a big vaction, hire stuff done and where we would be ok if DH lost his job.

Next we would give to our imeddiate family and see that they are without debts and the rest would be invested so we have extra to give to charity.

Though the chance of us ever getting a huge amount of money isn't likely.

What part?! My dh's family lives in Longcreek near Charlottetown

Charlottetown. I'll pm you with our last name ... very common there.

Okay, don't judge! hee...
1. Pay off all of my immediate family's bills and debts.
2. Give each one of my immediate family members enough to live comfortably for the rest of their natural lives. Then my mum can FINALLY retire! =)And my father could get a new vehicle that doesn't break down on him.
3. Buy thousands of acres of land for:
a. A home for myself and my son.
b. A home for my mum, my father and my brother if he so chooses, all close together.
c. Build a refuge/rescue for unwanted, abandoned, abused and/or neglected animals of
all kinds.
d. Hire a staff of caring people to help me take care of the animals.
4. Send a HUGE amount to the Humane Society of The US, Peta, funds for missing
children, abused and/or neglected children, the homeless (especially mothers and
their children), funds for teen narcotics abuse, teen runaways/homeless and so
many other important issues and associations.
5. Put a trust in my sons name.
6. Put a trust in my niece and nephews name.
7. Put a trust in each my pet's name - ABSOLUTELY! My babies need taking care of
as well if something happens to me!
8. Build a great AND free local dog park.
9. Build an amazing children's park that is fun, safe and environmentally educational.
10. Design and build a safe and fun place for teens to go where they don't have to
worry about pressure of any kind or worry about getting hurt or assaulted.
11. Better funds to the local shelters and a "no-kill" law placed.
12. I WOULD DO MY UTMOST BEST TO BAN "PUPPY MILLS", "FUR TRADE",
"ANIMALS USED IN EXPERIMENTS", "THE KILLING OF EXOTIC & ARCTIC
ANIMALS", "TRAPPING", "ARIEL HUNTING", "CIRCUSES USING ANIMALS & BEING
ALLOWED TO OWN THEM AS WELL", O! AND "WORLD OF WARCRAFT" - a game
on the computer!!
13. I would create an org. to travel across borders to stop the enslavement and
torture of bears, the torture and/or killing of dogs, cats, raccoons, rabbits, etc.
and animals used in entertainment.
14. I would do what I could to help the women and children in Africa, Pakistan,
Israel, etc. It is sickening and sad how many are assaulted and even killed every
year! Their governments need to provide 100 X's better protection for ALL
females and children - stop the raping, slavery, abuse and so many other
terrible things. Provide them with better/more medicine and food and educate
them about contraceptive protection and sterilization.

O I could go on, but I think you get where I am coming from! =)

WOULD THIS MONEY CHANGE MY LIFE? Absolutely! It would change anyone's life who
isn't used to a lot of money. The things that would stay the same:
1. The kind of person that I am.
2. My love for my family and my pets and all animals.
3. My values.
4. My beliefs.
5. My hope for a better and peaceful world.
6. Me always saving/rescuing animals, helping others, trying to be the best person I can be and showing my support for what is right.

Thanks for reading!
