Well.. if I had a million dollars I'd buy you a fur coat (but not a real fur coat that's cruel) :P

It's not cruel. What about leather?

Being Canadian, I got that one right away :)

If I had a million dollars- I'd buy you a green dress (but not a real green dress thats cruel)

Well, the first thing I would do is take the money in a lump sum. I'd put most of it into investments, while making sure we had enough set aside in 'normal' savings to cover the rest of my husband's education. I would probably re-train for a different job that I would enjoy more. I certainly wouldn't quit my current job right away, though. I'd make sure they had plenty of time to find a replacement and help to train them.

Depending on how much we won... yeah, I'd probably quit my job. Buy my mom a place of her own, give my sister some money, make sure that my in-laws' mortgage was paid off.

Then, buy us a house of our own and set it up with the things we wanted (my fiance wants a projector room, boys and their toys!), then start an artsy business with my sister-in-law. We're both crafters and so far her skills are paying off, though not enough to give up her job. So to have that opportunity for her to spend time with her little daughter would be something I'd love to give her.

*sigh* If only. Well, you can dream for $2, right?

I would go crazy doing nothing, so I'd keep working. But probably I'd want to do part time instead of full time. (Volunteer work also would be another option.) :yes:

Absolutely I'd keep working. I did not spend this much money and time getting educated on how to do my job just to quit. Part time, sure, but no way would I quit!
