What is the first thing you'll buy after you cash your check? Ok for me this is a trick question, because there are so many things that my family needs right away and I don't know what I would buy first, but when I think about it a little more, I might buy a house first, or start a business.

Hi there! Well, if I won 10 million dollars in a lottery I will help my family in paying each and everyone's credit cards bills in full to have a zero balance. I'd choose to help everyone in the family with their personal financial problems since we already have a home and everyon has a job. Credit card bills is one of the many problems with regards to financial matters. And once a person can't pay the bills in full it will keep on adding interest and that would be harder for them to pay. And in paying the bills, it usually takes a big amount of their salary and in effect, they can only save a few. By helping ,y family pay their credit bills, I may be able to give them a new start and maybe that will teach them to control the use of credit cards. Ciao!

Oh I know what you mean, that's why I keep my distance from credit cards. The interest is buck crazy, I stick with debit cards, there's no way I would charge myself interest. That's insain.

Wouldn't it be just grand to win the lottery...not that I need it, ha, ha. Well, if I did win it, I would first take a holiday and laze around while I decide what to do with it. Like you, I would probably buy a new big house and have servants and a swimming pool. I would put aside enought to live on and they I would divide the remainder (if there was any) amongst my family. Of course, I would give something to a deserving charity.

Giving to a charity would be on top of the list for me, and of course my loving family would get their share, except for my husband. Hehe!

That would be a blessing I am telling you. The first thing I would do is donate a little to the Cancer charity and Childrens Hospital. Then I would help pay off all my families outstanding bills, including cars and houses, then I would make my son a college fund, then I would give a percentage to each of my family members. The rest I would prolly invest some, save some, and spend some. The sad thing is the people that will do the right thing with, or really need the money are the people that will never win it.

I like your style, you seem so organized and responsible with money. People like us should have the upper hand and win more, or go on strike.
