If I had a million (or more) dollars...

Published

So, an earlier post from a person claiming to be a multimillionaire as a result of gambling got me thinking...

If you suddenly found yourself with a very large sum of money that you didn't work for (lottery, inheritance, found in a paper bag inside of a tree in the park) would you still work as a nurse? I'm talking about enough money to live off of for the rest of your days.

Personally, I would still work as a school nurse. I need health insurance and I really do enjoy my job. I may even enjoy it more if the paltry salary didn't stress me out so much at bill-paying time.

What I would STOP doing is looking for per diem work and babysitting on the side... later for that!

What about you guys?

I'd pay off my current house and rent it out (growth corridor), buy a 20 acre plot with a farmhouse in wine country, work part time in a country hospital, do a consulting job maybe?

Read a lot, fund some research into faster air travel from Australia to Europe???

I'd buy my alma mater new crap. Their old crap sucks, and a school that boasts about high NCLEX scores should have nice crap from this century.

I'd finish school. And work only one day per week.

I'd get the house I've been drooling over for a decade.

Half would be invested before all that, though. I'd have to put a limit on myself. I'm not going broke. Broke sucks.

Oh, I'm just kidding. Me and DW would split our time between a cabin in the woods, road trips and cruising. I might do something productive, but probably not.

Peter: What would you do if you had a million dollars?

Lawrence: I'll tell you what I'd do, man; two chicks at the same time, man.

Peter: That's it? If you had a million dollars, you'd do two chicks at the same time?

Lawrence: Damn straight. I always wanted to do that, man. And I think if I were a millionaire I could hook that up, too; 'cause chicks dig dudes with money.

Peter: Well, not all chicks.

Lawrence: Well, the type of chicks that'd double up on a dude like me do.

Peter: Good point.

I will buy new boobs and a lace front wig

Pay off my student loans

Buy a new motorcycle

Buy a condo

I would lose the job and volunteer my skills as an RN in places where they are in desperate need.

If I had a million dollars I would quit my real nursing job and do something easy like school nursing or home health.

What would I do with a million dollars? Two chicks at the same time.

Rabble rouser! And I can only imagine what was going through Far's mind, but not out her keyboard. Far, you feeling okay? Experiencing a sudden shortage of ******?

ETA: If I had money for life I would donate $100.00 to charity every time I cursed. Howzabout to DV awareness, women and children's shelters, safe houses, and counseling services.
