Thinks s/he gets paid by the post
If you had ten+ times more NW than you do now, do your think your preferred lifestyle might change?
Honestly, I don't think I'd know what to do with that much money. My aspirations just aren't that high, I guess.
A few things that come to mind...
1) Retire immediately
2) Hire a lawn service to cut the grass
3) Get the swimming pool replastered and heated, and have a small poolhouse/cabana/whatever built
4) Put a half-bath down in the basement
5) Help my uncle get into a small house that he can manage by himself.
But realistically, I could do the first two things right now, if I really wanted to. As for the swimming pool, I'm planning to get it replastered in the near future, and a poolhouse built. Although heating it seems like kind of a gratuitous luxury.
I could afford to do the half-bath in the basement, but just don't see the need for it.
As for my uncle, he's currently living in Grandmom's old house, and the plan is for him to move into the first floor master suite of my house. But, once Grandmom's house sells, between his cut and my cut of the proceeds, and another good year on the stock market, I could probably swing that, as well.
I dunno...maybe I just need to start thinking bigger!
