Jenna's powerball winnings!

Jenna's DH didn't actually win the powerball, it was an April Fools joke we all fell for!

Okay, Jenna's DH just won $50,000. And it got me thinking, how would I use that money?

Okay, here are the rules:

1) Because it is my natural inclination to save (my hording instinct extends to money too), no putting it in any sort of saving account, no investing it in stock, bond, money market account, nothing like this.

2) If you are not banded, no using the money for your band, too easy

3) No using it for college tutition. Trust me, as a full time university student who has dreams of a master's degree, and as someone who has a son entering college next fall... well you get the picture....

4) no using the money on bills

I would spend the money to take my sisters on a vacation. My one sister has never gone on a vacation. I'd take her somewhere fun, and slightly exotic. Since my DH is a born concierge, I'd have him plan the trip, then take out half the activities...

ya know... eventually we are going to have to delete this thread to avoid newbies thinking I actually won this money rather than the GREATEST LBT APRIL FOOLS GAG OF ALL TIME ((crowds cheering))

:):D:D:D:D

Nope, not deleting the post. I changed the title of the post and explained how you tricked us all, you very bad lady.

This is a thread for dreams, and it is wrong to delete dreams!

I'd smoke it! Wait, I don't smoke. I'd use it for legal fees. I'm dying to take in some of the homeless teens in Vegas. They get often get showcased on TV, living on the streets, eating out of the garbage, making money in ways that no child should ever endure. We have the love, the home, the food, the dogs, even a pool and wonderful neighbor kids, but the laws won't allow us to invite them in our house. Most of their parents (the ones they can find) refuse to give up their rights, so we could get thrown in jail for even offering a warm shower or a safe night's sleep. I'd buy me some kids with that money.
