Here is my list of what I think I would actually do, no silly stuff here. (Assuming this lotto win is 10million+).
Firstly, I need to allocate where I am putting the money. I will be working percentages, and 5% = $500'000 going off a 10million lottery figure.
25% = Set up a an interest earning account, dont touch it anytime in the forseeable future.
20% = Give to my parents, so they/we can pay off the mortgage on the house, pay school fees for my little brother, help other relatives out who are in need, buy new tools for the shed, and do whatever they want.
15% = Split between my siblings. 5% each to buy car, pay off tuition fees, put money towards a home, put money towards the charities they work for, do whatever they like.
5% = To my church (dont be skeptic , I know/have a say on where the money goes for this one).
5% = To my girlfriend and her family. Her family is stuggling to make ends meet and they lost their home recently.
So after all that, I am left with about 30% of the earnings to go nuts. Sick as chips!
So here is a list of where I think I would put my spending money:
1. Buy a car, something old-skool, but nothing fancy, I just want a car. I don't want people to nescessarily know that i'm loaded. Can buy a nice car later on.
2. Organise to go on an amazing holiday with my closest friends. My shout.
3. Buy new bike gear, then hand-me-down my current bike as a gift to a friend or relative who is interested in the sport.
4. GO on the amazing holiday with my friends!
5. Invest in property and rent it out. Perhaps buy homes in two different suburbs, or one suburban home and a flat in the CBD. Who knows.
6. Take a trip to Ikea and Jb-HiFi and completely deck out my room into the ultimate study and work/chill out space.
7. Buy some new clothes, I have hardly any and cant justify the money
8. Buy a giant hill and plant jaccaranda trees all over it and when they grow up and flower I will have my purple hill and I will build a small jumps track winding down this hill and it will be amazing.
