Do you know what time of year it is?
I don't mean Fall, or October, or the 3rd quarter, I'm talking about McDonald's Monopoly Game time of year. I just got my McDonald's monopoly game board and can't wait to fill it up. The game runs from October 6 to November 2, 2009. So I can be a millionaire before Christmas! They even have an online game this year and every night on the Jay Leno Show, $1 million dollars will be given away.
People are already selling stamps on eBay. I saw a Park Place today for sale for $9.99 on eBay. Although I want to win the million dollars, I would be pretty happy to win the Xbox, the $25,000 cash, even the $25 Arch Card or the $50 Shell gift card (with the price of gas these days) being given away every 15 minutes.
Okay, really, I'd be happy to win a dollar burger. Anyway, have you ever thought of what you would do if you won a million dollars? Some people say they would quit their jobs. I don't think I would do that, because you still have the rest of your life to pay for. $1 million dollars will only go so far if you quit working. But I think I would pay off my home and put some away for children's college.
I would try to invest my money so that it would last the rest of my life. I would do very low risk investments, though. I wouldn't want to lose it all. I would go on a family vacation, probably pay for my parents and all my brothers and sisters to come with us on a Caribbean cruise. Bask in the warm sun, visit the isles. And I would never again wonder if I could afford to stop at McDonald's!
