Let's have some fun and one never knows what could land in our lives....Don't hold our breath but I know many play the lottery and keep hoping they win, I don't do that one.
For me if $500K came to me...I would have to think about some good charities that are neglected by most..... What I'd like, don't Need, are some visits to the Prolotherapy MD to get some of his Prolo and PRP injections for the arthritis I deal with. The work is about $900 or so a session and insurance does not pay... Everything else I need, I can pay for. ![]()

I would put half of the 500K in my savings, then take the other 250K and travel across the USA/Canada seeing famous landmarks and staying in nice hotels. Then returning home and writing about my experiences, and hopefully have a book about my great adventure

Seriously, I would move to Cambodia and retire. I have been seriously looking into it for several years, even have a community I want to live. Life is very cheap there, there is a foreigner community, nice warm weather, nightlife and lots of marijuana. Good beaches and things to see there and am also interested in Buddhism and temples.
$500,000 would be enough money since I can live a nice life for about $20,000 dollars a year. I would either be stoned walking the beach or exploring a temple or drinking a fifty cent draft beer listening to Bob Marley almost every night. That’s living. |

$500K really isn't enough to do the "monumental" type things I always fantasize about when playing powerball.
But with $500K, I think I would buy the neighbors houses on either side of me, tear them down and do some serious landscaping work. And then get a hand crafted tailored wardrobe, and upgrade my cemetery plot. |
