If I had a million dollars...

This week's capstone question is from Mike: "What would you do if you had a million dollars and didn't have to work?"

This question is pretty loaded. I don’t think I have any concept of how much a million dollars really is, so parts of my answer might be too much, but I’m going to go with the “fantasy” part of this week’s question and just pretend it’s all possible.

First off, there are a lot of things I’d pay my family back for. I would love for my dad to not have to work anymore and for my mom’s preschool to get everything it needs. My sister and I could always use a vacation. But those are just the first things that come to mind.

I know that I would still want to have a career. I could never handle having nothing to do. But I think I might feel a little more adventurous with my career choice. I’d choose a job that gave me plenty of time off so that I could travel—or better yet, a job that consisted of traveling. I’d love to do something to help international relations, whether that be something with the government or something with the church. Or just something fun, like using my money put together a travel show that I could host! (I'm thinking--the next Samantha Brown!)


If I had a million dollars, there’d be so much to do! But I don’t think my life would be all that different—there’d just be one less thing to hold me back from doing whatever I want.
