Lately, I've just had this inkling that I'm somehow going to come into a millon dollars.
Maybe I'm more crazy than I thought(LOL).
But, even with the lapse in sanity...this got me to thinking...
If I had a millon dollars, what would I do?
Inplusively, I would say, GO OUT AND BUY STUFF. LOTS OF STUFF!!! BUt, after giving this some thought, I know that would defeat the purpose of such a blessing from God.(*hint*hint* to God). WELL....what WOULD I do? How would I use it to help bring glory to God/help me(physically/mentally,etc.?)/help my children/help my community? Help family members? How would I divide every penny, every dollar to not only help my family, but to help the wrold at large?
Hmmmmm.......
Well, first off, I would pay my debt-$20,000.00-all of it. I would then make the offer for the house and land in Idaho($75,000.00) and with the remaining amount of what should've been the payment of the house($15,000.00) I would put into a savings account of some kind. Naturally, I would tithe my 10%($100,000.00) to the ministries and local chuches(in Idaho) that I support. After that, I would use $300,000.00 or less to re-build the house on the land I want in Idaho, into my re-vamped version of the Duggar Home(Don't get me wrong- I like their home, but I would tweak it just a bit to my liking...and yes, I have thought this out before I realized that the Duggar's home plan was available to everyone online). I would invest $120,000.00 into a college savings fund for the children, spend another $15,000.00 in homeschool supplies, put $45,000.00 towards farming equiptment and supplies(seeds,fertilizer,farm animals, farming trucks needed,etc.),....did I spend it all yet? let me calculate....nope, I'm at $640,000.00...leaves me $360,000.00...hehehe...
I would then give my dad/stemother, my aunt Jon Ann, and my sister Jodi $10,000.00 each(total-$30,000.00). For my sister's kids, and my aunts kids, I would then put away $2000 each, per child, into a savings account for them for college, or whatever, when they turn 18(total of this-$14,000.00). I would put aside $10,000.00 for my children's clothing(taken out as needed), buy a schoolbus for..how much are those things going for, anyways?.....pay off my own college tuition(total-$45,000.00). That total so far is $99,000.00...(excluding the cost of the bus)....
I'm just going to guess and round this paragraph's total to $200,000.00
I still have $160,000.00. I would put away two year's salry for bills and food,etc.($60,000.00) and the rest I would use to start my own publishing company(for inspirational writers/christian writers,etc).Maybe an arts program, or something(?)- one for Reading, and one for White Bird...then that's it. It would be all spent. Have I covered everything???
If anything was left after all that, I would spend it dumbly- getting a spa treatment, going on a shopping spree, maybe getting my cellulite removed, etc. And buy furniture for the new house, but the kids all the classic movies and toys, and build a playground in the backyard. *phew!*
Okay, I think that covers it all. I just hope that I can remember to check this when(standing in faith on this, based on Hebrew's 11:1)...how big is God? Amen? AMEN!
Now I'd better get going, before I start thinking of more selfish ways to spend this money...something I'm trying hard not to do. LOL
Untily next time...

I have found out that a hybrid school bus, at least on one site, costs $160,000.00, but can be knocked down to $130,000.00. I'm almost certain if I pay them in full, I would be able to knock the price down to $100,000.00. I also forgot to mention that I wanted to buy a white,brand new chevy suburban- 2010 cost is $45,000.00..but I'm sure I can get that knocked down if I talk to the right people, since I'd be paying it in cash...maybe to $30,000.00. But, if I'm being too greedy in the overall costs of transportation, then I'd just buy the Chevy Suburban..I don't need a bus just yet. Besides, I'd then have to pay to get a CDL liscence and training..maybe I'd just wait until I'd possibly meet mr. right, or something. Also, I forgot that I'd also like to get my tubes untied(once I get married, that is)and that costs, about $6,0000.00. And the educational cost to learn about farming..what would that cost(?)...I guess I need to re-think this some more. I'd also like to go to school to be a beautician, so that I could do all the kdis hair, pay the costs needed to start the adoption process...and I'd need some of the money to move from here(PA) to there(ID)..that's about $4000.00, but the total costs of all these things, I'd have to research. Might as well try and get as much education as I can, so that I'll be prepared for when God blesses me again(with a husband!..if I'm not being greedy..LOL).I'm going to sit down and re-calculate and I'll write another entry titled- when I'm blessed with a millon dollars, part 2. :)
