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.

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 :)
ReplyDeleteI love this!! All great things if you won the lottery!! I would absolutely open my own business and travel the world!! And obviously share with my family!
ReplyDeleteLove the dress idea! I love dresses too but I'm scared to wear them!
ReplyDeleteAww, you shouldn't be scared to wear them! I think dresses look great on everyone (but I'm biased. Haha!) :)
DeleteIf I won that lottery I agree I wouldn't quit my job but I would definitely take a few more vacations ;-)
ReplyDeleteHey Olya, i've just found your blog through Blogtember roundup.
ReplyDeleteTotally 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.

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! :)
DeleteI love how everyone is wanting to give back to their parents. :)
ReplyDeleteI like your picks! I would totally travel and give back money to my family!
ReplyDeleteIt definitely would be nice not to work! And traveling sounds like the best plan!!
ReplyDeleteTotally with you on giving back to family. The best part would be travelling together!
ReplyDeletei would want to work but less hours! I feel like that's all i do!
ReplyDeleteQuitting my job would probably be one of the first things I did!
