OK, let's assume the best case. Let's say I am the sole winner of the Mega-Millions jackpot or equivalent. Here's what I plan to do .... and in my scenario who cares about spending wisely!
1. Send our son to a university next year that he has been accepted to but we probably can't afford.
2. Replace our worn out cars/trucks that are each showing between 150-200,000 miles on them.
3. Buy my Dad his choice of any car he wants.
4.Get my Mom an attitude adjustment so she'll say yes to Dad when he says "let's move back to the Puget Sound area and live on a sailboat."
Now that I have those out of the way, we'll buy a waterfront condo somewhere between Gig Harbor and the Queen Charlottes with covered moorage. Meanwhile we'll order a customized CD25, a Silver Sky V8 Toyota Tundra for the tow rig and a Fiat 500 for my in-town rig, hubby will get that Lexus he drools over.
CD25 will have an interior done in Sunbrella fabrics from their Furniture Fabrics collection
http://www.sunbrella.com/cgi-bin/usa/th ... B=F&W=&P=3. Decraguard in Magnum Teak interior woodwork styled after the TyBoo's drawers and SEA3PO's storage, carpeted berth like the Lynn Marie. Maybe green exterior trim. Since we are kayakers, there must be kayak storage up top.
Since we are kayakers we know absolutely nothing yet about motors, electronics, heaters, stove, anchors etc so we'll just take you all shopping with us, I'll whip out the plastic while you all load up the back of the truck with the things you think we need! We'll come help you spend when you win the lottery too...
