Dollar Dollar Bills Y'all

A few weeks ago I asked my parents this simple question:

If you are given $25,000,000 what will you do with it?

It took them forever to respond since they have been quite busy lately but their responses just make me want to give them $25,000,000. :)

MomWell, first of all, that is a large sum of money and I don't know how I would receive $25,000,000. from but here it goes.  I think the first thing I would do is pay off all of our debts, including my children's debts which would include their homes and cars.  I would then buy a large piece of beautiful, hill country land and build houses for those children and their spouses who would like to live on the land with us.  Once that is done, Brian and I would serve a mission for the church.  Maybe, we would serve a couple of missions.  I would definitely contribute funds to the church and to the cancer fund.  I would set up college trust funds for my grandchildren. Brian and I would travel to the lands of are ancestors, England, Ireland,Germany and etc.  I would provide funds for my Mother and Brian's Mom and Dad and to Brothers and Sisters in need.  I think what is most important is that we continue to work, whether it is through gardening, serving a mission or just serving others.  It is also important that my children and grandchildren continue to work and learn (through higher education) too. 


Dad Simple: Pay tithing and then invest the balance.  I would take  a cool trip too, say to Europe or the South Pacific or South America.  Car?  Did I hear you say car?  I would get a cool truck to take to the beach or the mountains.  I'm thinking Ford Raptor pick-up in black.  If the money was really large, I'd quit working and go on a mission or volunteer to work for the Church in some capacity.
