If I had a million dollars... well, I wouldn't be making this wish list here on my blog. Ha. So here is my list in no particular order I would:
- Send tickets to my son and his wife in
- Make a very generous donation to Ronald McDonald House.
- Make sure a very dear friend of mine had enough money so he could start enjoying his retirement.
- Buy a
newnewer car. My POS is 15 years old and in 600 more miles it will have 200,000 miles on it. It has been a fantastic car, had to replace the transmission a few years back and other wise it has only been routine maintenance FYI it is a Chrysler product. - Figure out some way to gift people who along my way in this life have touched my life in some special way.
- Provide in some manner for my family. An annuity or a one time cash gift.
Now that is what the serious me would do with the money. But my favorite brother Joe sent me his list.. There were a couple of other things on his list but I want to keep this politics free. he he
- Hire Jay Leno for a one man show.
- Buy a vat of beer and go swimming
- Get a new computer that performed ALL functions fast and with out locking up. ( dream on , dream on)
- Buy a hearing aid that only amplified stuff I wanted to listen to.
- Buy DirecTV and fire the CEO.
- Sponsor Mark Martin in a race
- Buy Kurt Busch's contract and FIRE him.
I sent out quite a few emails asking my friends and family what they would do with the imaginary million dollars and I want to say I have the most giving friends. Most would tithe, help family and friends, save and invest. Very few would buy themselves any material things. I have the best friends.

Wow...I've done the "million buck what if?" way too many times, but these days, I "upped" it to a BILLION...I mean if the GOVERNMENT can do it...so can I, right?
(J/K)
Actually, I'd put that MILLION to damn fine use.
1 - I'd get me and the missus a new(er) house FAR, FAR away from the "badlands" here (and then pay to raze THIS house...better to bulldoze it, than to see it become the next rental ghetto crib)
2 - Not really buy a NEW car, but sink a few thousand into my 26 yr old, and get it back to showroom specs.
3 - Get the wife a new car if she wanted one.
4 - Purchase a few more firearms (and ammo)
5 - Send some money to my nephew and niece-in-law who recently became proud parents
6 - sponsor some make-a-wish kids
7 - sponsor Bobby Labonte (Mark Martin would be my SECOND choice, though)
8 - Get a computer that would NOT crap out every other month, and the software engineer to make it so.
9 - Get a German Shepard (and maybe a horse).
10 - Donate to Wounded Warriors and Police/Fire widows
(that's the "short" list)
AND turn some of that "folding money" into GOLD...for the future, just in case.
Yeah, I can dream....the price is RIGHT...(free).
