Some of my favorite quotes:
The family. We were a strange little band of characters trudging through life sharing diseases and toothpaste, coveting one another's desserts, hiding shampoo, borrowing money, locking each other out of our rooms, inflicting pain and kissing to heal it in the same instant, loving, laughing, defending, and trying to figure out the common thread that bound us all together. -Erma Bombeck

Okay well, under 500,000 would go into my existing home, debt, etc.
Over 500,000 I would probably consider looking for a new GLAMOUROUS home, but I don't know. I tend to be a real minimalist.
And I'm so OCD even if we were millionaires I'm sure I would still have us on a super strict budget.
I like daydreaming too...I always imagine some long lost relative that we don't know exists will show up and give us just enough money to do the addition I keep dreaming of for the girls' bedroom. Silly, huh:)
I do the same exact thing =) I am satisfied and happy with where we are, especially when I get into my declutter mode and see how much extra "stuff" we aquire on our current income, but I would also like to experience life in a larger home and on a larger income =)
$0.01 - I would use the penny to form perfect corner radii when drawing roads on paper in my spare time - it's a quirky habit of mine. After I'm finished with that, I would probably toss it in my change jar. If need be, I could use the penny as a makeshift screwdriver or wedge.
$0.50 - toss it in the change jar, or buy a pack of gum from the vending machine at work.
$1.00 - buy a soda. If it's a single $1 note, I might stamp it and enter it into the Where's George database before I spend it.(referred to hereinafter as "WG it")
$5.00 - Go through a drive-thru and get breakfast(aka dinner) on the way home from work(I work the night shift), possibly WG it first.
$10.00 - WG it, get a burger value meal on the way to work, have some change left over for a soda from the vending machine later on. Or buy a bottle of wine for consumption at home.
$25.00 - buy some new toys for my birds, or go out and have dinner, or have a few drinks at a bar.
$50.00 - get my car's oil changed, wistfully reminisce about the good old days when an oil change cost less than $20. Spend the remaining $10-$15 on a DVD.
$100.00 - Resist the urge to go gambling at the casino. Go buy some new clothes or some new shoes. Or use the money to pay down my Target card.
$250.00 - Pay down my Target card
$500.00 - Pay down my Target card
$1,000.00 - Pay off my Target card, get an oil change.
$5,000.00 - Pay off my motorcycle and a "small" credit card.
$10,000.00 - Pay off my "big" credit card and a "small' credit card.
$25,000.00 - Pay off all credit cards and pay off my motorcycle, wiping out my debt completely. Buy a new(to me) car.
$50,000.00 - Pay off all debt, buy a new (to me) car, and put a down payment on a house.
$100,000.00 - same as last, but then take $25,000 and go on a month long vacation, and then invest the remaining $25,000 in savings bonds for my future children's education fund.
$250,000.00 - Pay off all debt and buy a new(to me) car(appx $25,000), Pay cash for a small house in Maricopa ($100,000), take a nice vacation for $10,000, invest $25,000 in securities for my future children's education, and distribute the remaining $90,000 among my immediate family under the condition that half of what they receive would go towards either debt or investment, and the other half to something fun!
$500,000.00 - Pay off all debt and get a new to me car($25,000) Pay cash for a large house in Maricopa ($300,000) where the whole family can live, take a $15,000 vacation, invest $30,000 in securities for my children's future education fund, put away $30,000 for a rainy day, distribute the remaining $100,000 among family with the same conditions.
$1,000,000.00 - two chicks at the same time
