Fantasy Fun

Lets take a break from our serious money talk for a minute, okay?

The Mega Millions in NJ has rolled over for the second time and the jackpot is now a cool $356 million and growing.

Which means, if you won Tuesday night and took the lump sum pay out option. NJ is going to take about 11% of that in taxes, leaving you with about $317 million. Uncle Sam is going to take a hefty 25% which means you're bring home about $238,750,000. What do you do first?

Here's what I would do (in no particular order):

• Immediately put in my two weeks at work
• Put out house on the market. I wouldn't even pay it off first. 
• Pay off our other debts
• Buy a big house a few blocks from the beach in Brigantine so my mom could sell her house and live there with us
• Travel
• Open my own bar/restaurant or at least go back to bartending (a job I actually really loved)
• Become a dog trainer
• Adopt more dogs
• Get Brian a membership at Galloway National Golf Club
• Buy a hybrid car
• Invest at least 100 million of it
• Get crazy awesome seats at MetLife stadium for all the Jets home games for all my in-laws

If I've learned anything from this savings experience, it's definitely to put as much of the money away before I start spending it!

What would you do if you woke up a mega millionaire?
