\"scrooge-mcduck\"<\/a>Okay, so a million dollars really isn’t that much, but it’s a catchy Barenaked Ladies song, so it becomes today’s post title.<\/p>\n

I’ve been super busy lately and find myself thinking “Man, if I won the lottery, the first thing I would do is hire someone to cook and clean for me.”\u00a0 Because these are things that fall by the wayside.\u00a0 I’ve become a pretty proficient lazy chef and can whip up a fast, healthy meal, but my meals get pretty repetitive.\u00a0 And we won’t talk about the cleaning.\u00a0 My kitchen is always clean, though often cluttered.\u00a0 I can’t handle when things get gross.\u00a0 But dust… well, that happens.\u00a0 And fur tumbleweeds too.\u00a0 I don’t understand how two cats can create so much fur.<\/p>\n

But then I started wondering what else I would buy if I won the lottery.\u00a0 Let’s assume it’s a small win, not enough for me to quit my job, but to make some quality purchases.\u00a0 I’d do the boring stuff like pay off my car, of course.\u00a0 And have some stuff done to the house.\u00a0 I think every homeowner has a list of upgrades for “when I have money.”<\/p>\n

I’d definitely upgrade my wardrobe.\u00a0 But I hate clothes shopping, so I’d have a personal shopper do that for me.\u00a0 Seems much easier.<\/p>\n

And let’s be honest, I’d probably end up buying a super fancy bike and all sorts of super fancy accessories.\u00a0 Maybe I’d buy a small SUV to fit a couple of bikes in as well.\u00a0 Bike transport is important, after all.<\/p>\n

If you had a sudden lottery win, what would you buy?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
