A RV so I could see every inch of the good old USA. I'd also payoff DS mortgage and set up trust funds for him and my niece and nephew.

If we're talking about lots of money, I've got a few ideas. I would buy houses/apartments for each of my two best friends. I'd help another friend out too. I would stay in my house, but lay some new floors and downsize the pool. I'd also repaint since I fell out of love with the wall colour as soon as we moved in. After that would be apartments for my two DS. A chalet at the snow here, and one OS. A few apartments here and there. New cars. I would also love giving money to random people - the ones you hear about on the news, in the paper etc. Some need money for medical expenses, some need money to get out of abusive situations. I'd have lots of fun doing that.

I would travel then decide where I wanted my second home.
I would sell my current home and buy a home with some land and horses. Said house would be secluded, with lots of land and grounds keepers, cleaning people, pool, a few fun cars, private plane with pilots, nice fantastic kitchen, awesome craft room, large walk in closets, multiple full baths, lots of room for my fur babies to romp and run on, dog groomer, walking track, 4 wheelers, shooting range....and whatever else I might decide I want.
I would build DS a home of his choosing. I make sure he was financially secure for the rest of him life.
Investments, of course.

Definitely a house - living in a 1-bedroomed flat is cramped to say the least. A house or bungalow with a nice garden with a lovely view and an integral double garage. Not too fussed on a pool but that might be fun. Main thing is I want a large craft room - with specific areas: wet, dry, sewing, paper-crafting... full WI-FI in every room. Not even too bothered where the house should be - but certainly not in the centre of town as I am now.
And whilst we're on the fantasy train - can I have personal lessons and classes from Tim Holtz and Wendy Vecchi please? Or at least the ability and freedom to be to travel to the US at the drop of a hat to do classes whenever and wherever I wanted?
Definitely travel - with my BFF... and a housekeeper to look after me when I got back. A personal trainer cum security person would be good to ward off the crazies. And a chauffeur who is happy to drive all over the UK and abroad too!
Having the financial security to not have to work unless I choose, and to be able to do as I please with no work deadlines.

A house on a lake, a housekeeper, a weekly massage and someone to do my hair/makeup daily I would travel and travel and travel, as long as my masseuse and hair and makeup person came too!

Weekly massages Weekly acupuncture Monthly facials and pedicures Personal Chef
Those are the things I would consider 'treating' myself to. But in addition to those I would travel...and treat myself to first class on the flights!

Honestly, I'd likely be paralyzed by the possibilities & simply invest more in the relatively high-performing stocks I already have!

Real Estate! A flat in the Montmarte area Paris... A villa in Tuscany. A beach house on the French Riviera - or maybe Spain or maybe both! And a ski chalet in the Alps just in case!

I'd buy each of my kids a house. This house needs to be updated. Pay off all of my bills. Those would come before any spurlges.

First, a new truck for my husband. After that, just knowing I would never have to worry about another bill for the rest of my life, would thrill me !!! Oh I'm sure there would be a couple of new pieces of jewelry and a couple of trips booked immediately !!

Besides dream homes in several different cities and beautiful new cars, I would have a personal chef, a makeup artist to do my makeup everyday and a personal hairstylist to do my hair everyday! And of course a housekeeper!

I would want to take my kids and 7 grands to Disney World for a week every year while they are young.
I would definitely give give more to organizations that feed the hungry and homeless.

I think about this more than I should because the chances of me being infinitely wealthy are pretty slim HOWEVER:
Pay off debts for myself and loved ones Weekly mani/pedi/massage Housekeeping & yard maintenance Regular travel near and far A horse boarded at a nice facility with truck and trailer so I can go anywhere I wish
That's the short list lol

A large, one story house.
Cleaning service.
Gourmet takeout & my own personal sushi chef
A brand new minivan
Professional hair coloring & cuts
a personal trainer
manis & pedis
massages
Going back to school, get a degree
The list could go on & on. It's ridiculous.
