What I Would Do If I Won the Lottery

I don't often sit around fantasizing about hitting the jackpot, but I have been known to buy scratch-off tickets for stupid reasons, the latest being I had a dream that I won $15K. (BTW: I had that dream when we were scrounging together enough cash to finishing paying off our IRS penalties—Go figure!) But every time I watch the new show Windfall I find myself thinking about what I would do with that kind of wealth. First, I'd pay cash for the house we're trying to buy, and then I'd completely renovate it. Next, I'd buy a case of Barbara's Peanut Butter Puffins and join the CSA farm in our town. After that, I'd invest the rest and live my life the way I do now. Frugality is more fun when it's a choice.
