I always told my husband if I came upon a RIDICULOUS amount of money I'd want to put in a lazy river around our house. We only have a 1/4 acre so it isn't like it would fit into our neighborhood or anything but it is something I've always loved to do in the water parks and would love to have even though it is obviously a ridiculous idea! The one at Aquatica in Orlando is the best, although it's not real "lazy"

My first thought was to hire dog walkers for our 4 beasts. Although if money were truly no object (and therefore f/t jobs weren't required) I'd happily be the dog walker.

If money were no object, I'd buy this property www.johnlscott.com/propertydetail.aspx?GroupID=240026555&ListingID=300624683 and start our dog rescue ranch. I'd probably have a horse or two, too. Then I would start my "Street Pets" charity to help the homeless care for their pets, and also provide shelters and short term housing that allows pets to make it easier for them to get back on their feet. I guess maybe that's a lifestyle change. And its true, DH and I would love to travel (there are a number of place on our list), but if I had to choose only one thing, it wouldn't be the trips, it would be either the dog ranch or the homeless pets charity.

I'd want to rescue horses... Live in the country with plenty of acerage and have money to keep a vet on-call and hire competent help... Maybe teach a few lessons on those healthy and sane enough to work with kids.... Horses, the black hole for money

If I had that unlimited pot of gold, I'd buy my house on the beach. My most favorite thing to do in the world is walk on the beach. Me and the pup would be out early every morning walking, throwing the ball, and having a great time. A much better time than now when I have to retrieve the ball from under the couch every time he "throws" it and it rolls underneath. My DD just informed me last night that we were definitely going to get our duplex on the beach and that it would be in Hawaii (she's always said we'd buy a duplex and each live in our own half). I asked her if she had by any chance priced real estate in Hawaii since she's been there. But if money was no object, it wouldn't matter, would it?!? ;D

Have someone come in daily and style my darn hair. Have lots of long beaded evening gowns handmade to my figure - starting in red. Have my shoes hand-made. Have a personal shopper and money to buy a good everyday wardrobe. Give money to my loved ones. Give money away to environmental and homeless causes. Tell eveyone else that their pants are too tight, etc. (I think you have to be old to do that though.)

Or their pants are too low slung.
