Dont forget your passion...

I watched this video, and not only did it make me say OH SHIT, and dayum, but it amped up my adrenaline just watching it, and almost brought me to tears. Envy? idk... but my adrenaline was up and I could feel every jump, the pit of your stomach feeling when they crashed to the ground, the anxiety riding up to that 7 footer... I just wanna do it... If something moves you like this... you just know... it is your passion. As I'm sitting here at my computer blogging, i'm wishing I had money to put gas in my truck to drive to a stable to pay someone to let me ride their horse for a small amount of time. Ten minutes? half an hour? and hour? PLEASE. I'm tired of begging people to let me ride their horses... paying people to ride. I wish I had that extra 5 grand for the horse and then the extra 10grand a year to keep it.
All the hype right now is about the mega millions, its up higher than its ever been before, and people are dying to buy in. Lottery tickets are more priceless than gold right now. Everyone wants to know- what would you do with the money??
Being that greed is one of the seven deadly sins, I need to state that I was always a supporter of playing when the pot was lower... I'd say to my boyfriend, don't be greedy, $120 million is more than enough. What would you do with it?? What would I do with it??
Here's the breakdown of what I'd do... don't quote me on the order tho.
1. Pay off my parents house
Simple, to the point. My parents gave me everything I ever needed and most of what I wanted while growing up, plus love and support. Yeah, we don't see eye to eye and yeah, I don't live there anymore.... but I call it my 'home' still. And in todays economy, its scary. They are budgeting themselves hardcore, dads laid off every 2 weeks(thank God the union doesn't let him stay laid off for long...)... how about a little peace of mind for them? Yes please
2. Pay off my student loans
I graduated college with $102K in federal and personal student loans.  I've got it down to about $92k in 3 years. I would love to not have that debt hanging over my head for the next ten years. Just saying. I use that as an excuse as to why I didn't continue school. why pile on the debt??
3. Pay off my truck
Another large sum hanging over my head. Just saying.
4. Buy my dad any truck he wants
I'd say I'll just get him a brand new truck, but I know my daddy- he's only had 1 brand new truck in his life and it took him a year to pick out and find the exact one he wanted. Although if I was buying it would prob take less time cuz he would have to haggle people and $$ isn't a matter so he could ship it. But I'd leave it up to him. His 99 GMC Sonoma that he just rebuilt the engine using his own two hands still runs rough. For my daddy who helped me find all of my vehicles and keep them running, he can have whatever one he wants. (Sorry mom, you have an 07 jeep that runs just fine. After daddy gets a more reliable car we will talk about your upgrade, lol!)
5. Can't forget my boyfriend : ) pay off his car and his student loans. 
Clean slate for us financially : )
6. Pay off my sisters college debts
They are bright and beautiful and theyre my sisters, they shouldnt be burdened with more debt than I had(their schools are more expensive, especially because they attended in years after my when the tuition rates jumped AGAIN)
7. I'd find the horse(or horses) for me.
More like 7 and 8 and 9... cuz then id hafta to figure out where to keep them. Buy my own property? Board them somewhere? Owning animals becomes a heavy financial commitment. But once I have them and their equipment, I'd never feel the way I feel now when I cannot follow my passion and feel it and hold it in my hands and heart... a nicker, the warm breath against your skin, the reins chaffing your hands as theyre yanked by your mount.... weightlessness---being airborne over a jump--- YES. I would live my dreams after paying off my debts. I could pay my way through vet school, or jockey school, train my own thoroughbreds, buy show jumpers and be trained to ride grand prix. I could do it all. I could Live my dream...
10. I'd have my dream wedding
On the beach, horses, look like a princess, hundreds of guests, party all day and all night... I'd do it. And honey moon it, of course : )
11. I'd find a few charities that needed some help.
My church. Food pantry donations- I'd have all day to go food shopping for the less needy! That would be so fun! I'd go clothes shopping and donate clothes that have never been worn and that are stylish NOW. No more last years styles for the needy. Alls they need is a pick me up to help them get on their feet and on their way. I donate to a few animal shelters. hell, every one I came across! Cancer foundation... my grandpa would have his own wing in his memory... and maybe others wouldn't meet the same end.
 I think that's fair enough. I could add to it... and if I win I will. If I win I will document every little thing that I spend that winnings on. That'll be a helluva blog!!
