Re: If you won the lottery...

[(Anonymous)]

1. Quit my job.
2. Hire a tax consultant and observe all the proprieties.
3. Hire bodyguards.
4. Buy a nice, low-maintenance, high-mileage, late-model used car and a REALLY nice custom-built desktop PC.
5. Offer to send my daughter to college (but I wouldn't insist.)
6. Buy a sizeable chunk of land somewhere not real near, but not too far from any major city, someplace with a lot of trees but without much in the way of mineral rights or anything else that would inspire anyone to try to take it fom me. Build upon it a modest-sized, energy-efficient and (if possible) energy-independent home.
7. Furnish said home with nice, quality but not extravagant or ostentatious household goods (plus heirloom pieces.)
8. Go off-grid as much as possible.
9. Insure the fuck out of everything I own and everyone in my immediate family.
10. Donate sizeable sums to a handful of national and international anti-hunger charities, a few political campaigns, and Random Acts.
11. Give a few thousand bucks each to assorted friends and relatives and tell them, politely and kindly, not to pester me for more.
12. Set up a series of trusts for my daughter, each one a bit larger than the last and accessible a few years later, none of them enough to live on without having to work (at least not for the first few decades.)
13. Go to a fannish convention or two a year. Pull out all the stops participating in GISHWHES at least once.
14. Put a portion of the remaining funds into gold and bury it on my property.
15. Put the rest into the lowest-risk investments I can find that still reliably beat inflation, and live a quiet, comfortable and secure, middle-middle-class existence off it from then on.
