$290 Million Lottery

I was going to play, but I didn't make it to Tennessee in time.  Oh well, there's always next time.

If I won big, I would...

Build me a house.  Something modest, five bedrooms maybe and 2 or 3 baths, with a grand master suite and bath.

Buy a few new cars.  It's been a long time since I was able to buy a new car.

Travel.  I'd go to all the places I've ever wanted to go....Rome, Greece, Germany, Switzerland, the UK.  I'd probably travel continuously for a year or so.

Take care of my daughter.  I'd buy my daughter and her mom a new home and car and make sure they had enough money so they didn't have to worry about anything.

I'd donate a lot of my money to the ASPCA, St. Judes, anything having to do with animals and children.

And then I'd put the rest into some type of savings or CD and just live off the interest, buying nice things and going on trips to keep my occupied.

The interesting thing about what T. Harv Eker is saying is that, the amount does not matter as much as the habit. If you're able to do those percentages for, say, $10 per week (not your whole pie in the beginning), then you have fairly "painless" start. But when the habit catches on, you would want to start doing it with the rest of your money, a step at a time.

No need to wait for a Lotto win to do this. You can start now.
