I used to say that hitting the lottery was my retirement plan. Just think. You could spend your whole life living wildly, with no concern for the morrow 
and then, when you reach your Golden Years, pick the right numbers and be set up for the rest of time. How great would that be?? Unfortunately, life rarely happens like that. Still, it’s fun to imagine…
So voicing our wish lists of things we’d like to do if we won the lottery has always been a fun thing for Jack and me to do on long trips. Here is my Lottery Life Plan:
- Pay off bills.
- Buy my mom and aunt a place of their own, along with pool and pool boy.
- Donate lots to charities we hold dear.
- Travel.
- Travel.
- Travel.
There are so many places to go and so little time to see them all. For instance, I love Scotland but I haven’t seen nearly all of it. And I haven’t set
foot in Wales or Ireland, so I could probably spend a year or more on just those two islands. And Italy is a place I’d like to spend more time. I’d like to go on a safari to southern Africa, and see the Maldives. If I had the money to spread the trip out (with stops in Hawaii and Tahiti, for example), I’d hop on a plane to New Zealand and visit my pal Jan in Australia—someplace I’ve always wanted to go (despite their poisonous snakes and spiders). Closer to home, I’d like to revisit western Canada, and points here in the U.S. Sounds like so much fun!
However, as much fun as it is to think about and to dream about, I have to admit we’re pretty happy with life as it is. Do I want a big house, new car, 
yacht, island, wardrobe, and expensive jewelry? Nope. Best off not having any of that stuff. It would be nice, though, to see new places and share the adventure with those I love, which really means spending time with those I love, and we can do that with very little cash at all.
