If you had gobs of money...........

The first thing I would do is buy a house with a few acres of land. Preferably somewhere in the mountains, or maybe also cabin in the mountains I could go to at least. I would donate to the local shelters and also start my own siberian husky rescue. Hopefully I'd be able to adopt out most of the dogs and not keep them all, that would be the hard part. I would also set up a photography studio and dark room in the house as well as buy equipment to make silver castings and other artistic supplies...I really don't create art that often anymore, but maybe if I had a studio with a beautiful mountain view I'd be inspired. If after I quit my job I felt like doing some work on the side I'd set up a small grooming salon too.

I would also give some money to friends/family, my parents especially, to get them their dream house. I'd buy my mom a '54 chevy car. I would use it to travel the world and see places I've never been...and of course put money into savings/investments for the future/children if I have them.
