When I imagine myself winning the lottery or coming into millions of dollars from an unknown wealthy relative, I picture myself staying exactly where I'm at with my same job . . . but with infinitely less stress. Not having to worry about money for the kids future or retirement. Being able to travel when and where we want. Putting new siding on the house and updating the kitchen. A house keeper to clean while I bike. Things like that. I guess I'm not a big dreamer . . .
As for the house-warming gift: I went with a folder filled with a "wealth" of information on the neighborhood! They are from a different city so I thought it was a fitting gift to get them acquainted with their new home. I included our top 5 pizza places, menu's from our favorite restaurants, business cards and flyers from places I thought they may frequent, a "popcorn bucket" from the local gas station that gives the owner free popcorn for the year. DH thought that was a little tacky, but they have movie theater popcorn! And the buckets sell-out every year, so I thought it was a fun "local" gift.
