So the Powerball has reached a whopping 1.3 billion dollars! Honestly, I would be happy with $200, so I can't even begin to imagine what I would do with all of that money, even after taxes are taken out. For starters, I would pay off all my student loans and give my family a nice set up. I would try and help out people in need, because giving back is incredibly important. But after all that is said and done, I'm assuming I would still be sitting on a pile of cash too big to know what to do with. That's when I would start spending some money on all of the guilty pleasures that I know I'm not alone in having!
1. Dogs. So many dogs.
I know I'm not the only one who envied Megan in "Bridesmaids" when she got to drive around a van full of puppies. If I won the Powerball, I would buy a separate house just for all of my puppies and make sure they each had beds, food, and tons of puppy love.
2. Awesome food.
Maybe even get a personal chef... actually, definitely get a personal chef. I would be eating like a Kardashian and loving every minute of it. My meals would go from Easy Mac and frozen pizza to filet mignon and homemade ice cream. I would have dinner parties and sleepovers and invite over all of my friends so we could eat good together.
3. A personal trainer to counteract the personal chef.
Also like a Kardashian, with all the delicious food I could ever want at my finger tips, I would need a bomb ass personal trainer to get my Khloe body going. I would also definitely install a home gym so that I didn't have to go in public. Then after being in hiding for a few months, I could emerge from my mansion like a super goddess and shock the world.
4. Monthly beauty subscriptions.
Birch Box, Fabletics, Rocks Box: you name it, I'm subscribing. I'm sure with all the money I could just buy as much as I wanted at one time, but it would be so nice to get monthly packages without breaking the bank. I would do this just to make poor, pre-Powerball me happy.
5. A yacht and/or private jet.
Traveling can get expensive...so I'd just have to take matters into my own hands. I'd yacht to Capri or Greece or wherever all the famous people hang out so I could mingle with them and get some connections. Just imagine sailing your yacht up next to Giorgio Armani's, like "Oh hey Giorgio, I was just in the neighborhood..."
6. Everything I ever wanted as a child.
A water bed, a moon bounce, an inflatable waterslide, a hundred blowup whales and unicorns for my pool, moon boots, a barbie jeep for adults (not a real jeep, just a larger Barbie jeep), a motor scooter, a ball pit, a trampoline...the list goes on. All of my childhood dreams can finally come true!
7. Simple upgrades that I'm too broke to afford.
Unlimited data for one, speakers that don't come from 5 Below, a bunch of extra long phone chargers, a Keurig and good coffee beans, real Ray Bans to replace my knock off ones, a working car that doesn't always have the "Check Engine" light on that I continuously ignore. Oh the life.8. Minor surgeries/procedures.
I would start with Lasik so I never had to wear another pair of contact lenses or glasses ever again. Then I would probably get laser hair removal just because shaving is a pain that I could definitely afford to live without. I would probably get some teeth whitening action going and take care of any cavities/wisdom teeth that needed removing. After that, maybe a boob job (speaking for a friend).
9. Tickets and backstage passes to all your favorite musician's concerts.
I would not hesitate to drop a couple "Gs" to meet T-Swift and Justin Bieber. You can bet your buns I'll be sitting in the front row, close enough to have Harry Styles sweat on me amid thousands of small children, because why not.
10. A fully stocked bar with endless bottles of wine.
I'm sure it's hard spending money all day, so I would definitely need to have a glass of wine (or 12) at the end of the day to keep me at peace. I would host all my gal pals for Bachelor Monday and find reasons to celebrate every other day of the week. I've heard a bottle of wine a day keeps the doctor away. That's the saying, right?
