So now that the jackpot is $500 million (or 1/2 billion $ if you prefer) and you have bought $100 worth of tickets (and so are guaranteed to win) ...
What would you do or buy, audio or otherwise, if this "dream" comes true?
Here's my thoughts:
- Even with all that moolah I doubt I could bring myself to pick up a set or two of Tara Labs "The One".
- Yes, I would keep my wife around. She is my best friend and I would want to share our future together. Now she may have other thoughts on the subject and dump my sorry ass.
- Setting up trusts for the kids and future grandkids (generation skipping).
- Travel would definitely be in the cards.
- Purchasing a few new homes in places that we enjoy after travelling would probably be in the picture too.
- Then I definitely would need to set up a media room in each of those houses and explore the a wide variety of system types - one type for each house (SET & horns, MBL's perhaps, planers, and of course the obligatory surround sound home theater rooms).
A gentleman is best defined as someone who knows how to play the accordion ... and doesn't.
