I know that the best things in life are free and that money doesn’t buy happiness blah blah blah but I love dreaming about winning a million dollars. How many times a day do we say or think “We can’t afford this'’ or “How am I going to pay for that?'’ or “How can we get that cheaper?'’ I’d certainly have a lot more free time cos I wouldn’t have to waste it searching for the best value for the best price and after all that still ask myself “Can I get it cheaper elsewhere!'’ If I won a million dollars I know I’d be happier. For some that would not be enough. Have you heard anyone say they are happy with what they earn? And when they have the big house, pool, SVU or 3, the home theatre, the country retreat, the Portsea beach house - do they then say OK I have enough now. No it’s like an addiction. They go looking for the next big ticket item to buy to give them a bigger consumer buzz. A million dollars would suit me - I would buy a new car, a brand new Commodore, I would burn every second-hand bargain basement item of clothing I ever secured and go on a shopping spree, I would buy a house with views over the Yarra Valley, then I would hire a housekeeper, and gardener and plan a trip to Africa and Ireland. Er … I’d give some to charity …

    I’d buy a group of shops or offices and lease them out. That way I can sit back and do nothing while the money still keeps coming in. A million dollars doesn’t go very far these days. After you buy that $400,000 house, that $200,000 porshe, and all that expensive new furniture to put in your lovely new house, there’s not much left to live on. Your Money would be gone very quickly.

I like reading all sorts of things, seeing the world through the eyes of my children, my dog's ears, dreaming of going back to Africa and winning a million dollars.
