The Million Dollar Question

Recently, (on advice from a buddy of mine), I bought a lottery ticket. As a person who understands the probability of winning - I never play, but I thought that this was an especially lucky day so I went ahead took his advice and got one. Then the funniest thing happened; I started to day dream about what I would do with a $1,000,000.00 bucks. The first thought that came to mind was get my family Health Insurance, then fix up my Jeep, quit working, go to school full time, and then write a book on Alternative Energy. There where other thoughts like take a pilgrimage to Dharamsala but they where all not much different from the plan I already have, just the time frame is shortened...
I then noticed that my Millionaire fantasies where not that far away from what I plan on doing now and then it hit me; people that would do something completely different if they won a million dollars aren't living the lives that they have chosen for themselves. Most fail to realize that money wont solve all of their problems and is only a tool to control the time-frame in order to materialize your dreams. So I say, its good to have Millionaire fantasies. The answers that you get from your million dollar question might point you in the right direction...
