The lottery would help, but…
Someone asked the “what would you do if you won the lottery” question recently, and I realized that NONE of the “dreams” I have require winning the lottery or some other magical infusion of cash.
1. Pay off mortgage.
2. Fund my son’s & niece’s college.
3. Buy land elsewhere & eventually move.
4. Travel even more.
5. Spend time volunteering or doing various projects.
In fact with the exception of funding college, I intend to do all of them anyway. They’re goals, and I can see them coming to pass reasonably easily. The lottery would help spend them up a little, but that’s about it. I’m not sure what that means exactly, but it was a nice realization.

If you had asked me that question a few years back I would have started listing all of the things I would spend my money on. Now my list would be closer to yours than anything else especially the traveling. It seems that you have a very good sense of yourself and what you want and you don’t need to spend money on stuff to be happy.

I had the same realization when I answered that question. It was nice to have that bit of confirmation that I’m on track. :)
