I’m feeling pretty uninspired right now. I need to write a post to keep the the 30 day challenge<\/a>. I really should write more about my Superior Hiking Trip<\/a>, but that seems like a lot of work to sort through the pictures to post. I could write about this morning’s run, or something we did today, but none of that seems very post worthy or exciting. <\/p>\n

I looked through a couple of sites I found that offer daily prompts. None of them seemed very exciting today. Until I found this simple question at dailypost<\/a>. It is a no-brainer. <\/p>\n

If I suddenly received $1,000,000 from an unknown aunt the first thing I would do would be to pay off all of our debt. So much of our life and energy is controlled by that debt that we could make some drastic changes to our life and feel a lot more comfortable. I know money isn’t everything and it won’t buy our happiness but getting out from the shroud of even our “good” debt (house, student loans, and a car) would return our lives to a more normal existence. <\/p>\n

No more night shifts, no more endless weeks, more family time together when we aren’t half asleep!! What to do with the other $800,000 is a tougher question. Doing the math of Team World Vision<\/a> that would provide clean water to 16,000 people! We could probably get our siblings out of their debt too… Who knows. <\/p>\n

What would you do with an unexpected windfall? <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
