The writing prompt is

“Write about what you’d do if money suddenly wasn’t a problem.”

Well, I love to day dream so here we go.

How would this happen exactly?

Winning the lottery could provide us with endless income IF we managed it correctly. Unfortunately most folks who win the lottery fail to save enough money back to pay the annual taxes. OOOPPPS

How about a rich uncle who leaves me an inheritance? Nope, no rich uncles.

Ok, lets run with winning the lottery.

The first thing I would do is to take it in installment payments and not in one lump sum. I do not trust myself with one lump sum. I would rather have a chunk of money each month for the foreseable future.

I would quit my job once the income starts flowing in. Man that would be like dream come true. If I could do that then I could write, podcast and take photos to my hearts content. Katy is a teacher who loves her profession so she would probably not quit her job.

The first thing I would do is pay off all my credit cards, loans and debts.

The next thing I would do is to give my adult children trust funds where the money is doled out to them on a monthly basis. Oh wait, can you set up a trust…
