Re: If you won the lottery...

[(Anonymous)]

I'm going to assume this isn't lump sum (which I wouldn't take, anyway), so I'll look at what I'd do with roughly $10 million a year pre-tax. Since my total debt isn't even $20,000, that would get paid off in the first year.

After that, I'd set aside $300K annually for schooling. That way, in a span of five years or so I could get my master's in English; completely retain in IT; get my Six Sigma certification; retake chemistry and physics; and maybe even get a natural sciences degree. That extra million plus in that timeframe would allow me to work part time doing some sort of office work to keep my skills relevant so I could go on to work as an IT project manager.

I'd probably tuck away $2 million annually in some sort of account so I could build a huge HSA for myself. Since I plan to not retire, I need to be sure I take really good care of myself physically. There are really low caps on HSAs, so I'd be looking at something that doesn't have a maximum contribution amount, because frankly I have a huge problem with that.

At some point, I'd have to get a new vehicle, so let's say about $30K for that Prius I've had my eye on for years. There's also getting a couple new lenses for my camera and insuring the hell out of it. I'm seriously considering camera insurance outside of the condo insurance, so that might put things at $10K max. I could find a way to spend more on that, though.

There'd probably be another million put in a separate account to generate interest. This would be back up money. Once all that's done, it's time to look at yearly projects I could help fund. I'd go bail the Minnesota Zoo out and pay for all their expansion plans. Another year's worth of extra money might go toward paying for road repavement in the Twin Cities area. I'd also donate heavily to public health campaigns; building a planetarium; expanding passenger rail service in the Midwest; and conducting feasibility studies for hosting the Olympics in Minneapolis.
