45. If you have 1 million dollars, what will you do with it?

I think this is one of those questions we all fantasize about. 1 million bucks is a lot, but at the same time it's not.  I especially know this from working in insurance that you can blow through 1 million dollars a lot faster than you think.  So, I would do my best to be practical with the majority of it by paying off debts for myself and my immediate family. I'd also like to invest enough that I have something that would generate a decent amount of income that I don't have to work if I don't want to and still get my basic needs met. I'll still keep working anyway, but I'll feel a lot more secure knowing that if something happens where I can't work, I'll still be ok.  I know, I'm boring.

Then after all that's set up, I'd go to Disneyworld.

44. How can you do this better the next time?

Wow... I forgot about my list. I guess the craziness of life has gotten in the way.  Since my last question, I've had a lot go on.  Of course, the biggest thing is the fact that I got engaged and will be getting married next week.  It was a long road to get here, too...

I suppose my positive strides are a result of following Question 44 a little more. I am trying to continue opening up more, learning to ask people more often when I need help and staying more goal oriented. It's not always easier, but it has helped.  I think being more comfortable being in a real partnership has made this process better, especially since I know I have someone that can support me and doesn't tear me down.  All in all, I'm still on the right path as long as I remind myself to focus better and plan ahead a bit more.
