It's the Friday Five...
You have just won one million dollars:
1. Who do you call first?
kittenpants. She could probably tell me what bank *not* to put it in :)
2. What is the first thing you buy for yourself?First, I'd pay off all my bills. Then I'd buy one of those uber-squishy space foam mattresses. (When you don't sleep for sh*t, you tend to have small dreams, and most of them have to do with sleeping better...)
3. What is the first thing you buy for someone else?I don't know if this counts, but I'd put some money aside to send my cousin's daughters to college if they should so desire. Since I'm a non-breeder, they're the closest to descendents I'll ever have.
4. Do you give any away? If yes, to whom?Absolutely - I can't imagine how I'd go through it all if I didn't. Some to Gaia, some to Harvesters, some to NPR, some to Heifer International, and I doubt I'd be able to sleep at night if I didn't finance one of
breathofgold's shows... And then there would be presents, in general.
5. Do you invest any? If so, how?Maybe, but probably not. I don't have the fiscal sense the gods gave a pig, so I wouldn't know what to do with it. I would probably put some money aside for my funeral expenses somewhere, as I don't think that's the sort of thing that other people should have to pay for, but other than that, it would probably sit in a checking account somewhere, if I didn't spend it or give it all away first. As I'll have no descendents, leaving money behind is not really of interest to me, and I prefer to do my donating while I'm alive.
