If I Won the Lottery: A Millennial’s Guide to Spending

2 min read

A Girl Can Dream…

Ever chat with your friends about what you’d do if you won the lottery? Well, let me share my mega-million-dollar dreams with you – we’re talking $999 million, to be exact!

First things first: I’d publicly claim that money publicly because my boundary game is strong and I’ve practiced saying “No” enough to handle it. After securing personal safety and setting up a trust, I’d lock down that fortune tight. I’d start with the essentials: paying off all my debts, buying a stunning home and a vacation getaway, and establishing solid investments before moving most of the funds offshore.

I’d carve out a portion for a mixed business investment fund, taking on roles as both an angel investor and an equity partner in promising tech startups I believe in. I wouldn’t forget about family, either – I’d create trusts for my nieces, nephew, and any future kids of my own. As for my siblings? I’d wipe out their debts, hand them a nice chunk of change, and then… they’d better not ask for anything else! 😂

I’d still spend my free time writing, traveling, shopping, and soaking up experiences, but I wouldn’t let materialism consume me. Sutton, my furry companion, would get his own nanny and a dedicated wing in the house (maybe then he’d stop being so velcro-attached to me!).

Of course, I’d launch foundations to support causes close to my heart. And let’s not forget my passion project: leading the campaign to remove podcast microphones from all men.

These are just a few highlights from my lottery dream list, but I’m sure there’s more. Now it’s your turn – what would be first on your list if you hit the jackpot?
