Re: Your Best Xmas Present ?
I somehow see a new boat in your future.
Nawww... I'm still sticking with my 69 caravelle, she's a beaut and i've put to much time into her to sell or forget.
I do get it all at once minus taxes. In a couple of weeks after I file... Or so I've read, never won this much before. I'll find out monday.
I'm going to keep some of it. I've been prioritizing in my head over and over what to do with the money.
1. all the gifts the family gave to everyone is now "on santa" this year.
2. I'm going to take Kate someplace nice. We've been together 3 years and we haven't taken a vacation yet. I'm not talking Hawaii nice vaca.... but a mom and pop B&B followed by some skiing will do her and I just fine.
3. Although i've had my eye on the Snap-On war wagon for years..... I'm going to buy my Dad the best bottle of blended scotch I can find. It's funny because I got him Chivas 18 year got xmass... And he tells me "it's to much". I would like to find a bottle in the 3-5K range for him.
4. I do need a couple of tools for myself. Some scanners and other diagnostic tools. I figure 2 to 3K i'll spend on myself.
5. Easy come easy go.... The last 50K or so of it will all go to charity. I just need to start figureing out what charities are good and which one are scams. I also need to scheme with a CPA so I can donate the maximum without getting whacked in taxes later on.
Off to the lottery agent tomorrow
