Blogtober 14: If I Won the Lottery...

Helene in Between
Happy October, everyone! I’m so excited that October is finally here. Today, I thought it would be fun to link up with Helene and Taylor for Blogtober14. Today’s prompt is “what would you do if you won the lottery?” It would be boring to say that I would save quite a bit of it so, saving aside, here is what I would do.
If I won the lottery…
I would not quit my job. Honestly, I am too much of a workaholic for that, and editing is my passion. However, I would definitely consider switching to part-time hours so I would have more time to travel. (I could always do freelance projects on an airplane!)
My husband would be around more. Chris is currently in medical school, and even though he works hard, he is secretly super lazy. He constantly tells me that he would not mind being a stay-at-home dad. I don’t think he would quit being a doctor, but he would definitely work less hours, which would be amazing!                                                     

I would spend all of my spare time traveling. I think that I have established that I absolutely love to travel and do it as much as I can. I strongly believe that travel is the only thing you can spend money on that will actually make you richer. However, as my piggy bank will tell you, plane tickets are expensive. It would be amazing if I could travel the world without having to worry about what it's going to cost me.
I would give back to my family. My parents have done so much for my younger brother and me, and I would love to give back to them. I would buy them a house and send them on trips (it'd be a bonus if we could all go together!) 

I would buy way too many dresses.  Dresses are my weakness, and my hubby would tell you that I already have too many. I can't imagine what would happen if I didn't have to worry about budgeting as much. I would probably need an extra room for my collection.

  1. Man. If I won the lottery I would travel immediately. I wouldn't want to not work, but I cant see any job letting me travel all the time, so maybe I'd work somewhere with less money just to have something to do. I would also give most of it to my mum :)

    1. Aww, you shouldn't be scared to wear them! I think dresses look great on everyone (but I'm biased. Haha!) :)

  5. Hey Olya, i've just found your blog through Blogtember roundup.
    Totally loving your travel ideas. Sometimes i even think traveling is a need more that a want.
    So Never stop dreaming and i'm sure you'll be going places in the future.

    1. Thanks, Luchessa! I agree that travel is more of a need. I have been blessed to travel quite a bit, but I am always eager to see more of our beautiful world! :)
