It sounds like a lot of money ($1.67 million Canadian), but I know it could disappear quickly just by buying "this and that" without a plan in place.<br />A splurge, if you will, would be to finally replace my 35+-year-old wall-to-wall carpeting in my home. It keeps coming to the top of the list, only to have something more important to us take precedence (like a family member's wedding far away, roof repairs, etc.). We don't plan on moving until we can't handle the house details, as we live in a lovely neighbourhood with great neighbours. Other than that, more visits with family 2,500 miles away would probably be taken.<br />You mentioned if SOMEBODY GIFTED us the money. The above would especially be for if we WON money, but being gifted, I think, would imply a slight variation. I think I would use part of that money doing something relatable to the person who gifted the money - like a donation to their favourite charity (or, better, giving some of my TIME to that charity as well).<br />Really, something like this would take a lot more time to think through than the time given to answer the question. I just wouldn't want to be one of those people who ended up much WORSE after blowing through money recklessly.Laney4https://www.blogger.com/profile/06990122242183752771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2489168146200487747.post-13066935481161707612018-08-26T18:50:10.461+10:002018-08-26T18:50:10.461+10:00Thanks, Mary. :-)
