My passion is German language and culture. I have a minor in German to go with my degree in Visual Communication Design. I'm working on being accepted as an Au Pair next year so I can at least get to Germany. And maybe with my degree I will be able to do some telecommuting type stuff designing web sites and advertisements.Sierrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01665027521839986964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7148735542162027173.post-1307272064740759412011-01-05T17:51:27.266-05:002011-01-05T17:51:27.266-05:00Cyndee- I checked out the menu.

I think <a href="http://www.alluettes.com/" rel="nofollow">Alluette's Cafe</a> may just win.<br /><br />tiff- People stay in their hometowns when they have no job and no money, why would they leave when it's tasty magic money all day long.<br /><br />Sierra- there's always forbearance, income dependent payments, or another deferral. Not all jobs are desk jobs. Alternately, with a degree, you could always go teach english in korea for a year, pay off your loans, save up some cash, and travel. I know *a lot* of people who do that.j.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05488121165040555447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7148735542162027173.post-19599816480721826762011-01-05T16:48:04.469-05:002011-01-05T16:48:04.469-05:00$10,000 would leave me debt free and happy for qui...$10,000 would leave me debt free and happy for quite some time. I currently make about $200 a week. I only have $6,000 in student loans, but on $800 a month that is quite a lot of money. I would just like to be able to pay off my loans so that I had no accountability. I'm graduating from college this spring and I am seriously considering just taking off and backpacking around the world. I could do this super cheap by working as I went and couch surfing and stuff. The only problem is that as soon as I graduate my loans are no longer in deferment and I have to figure out how I'm going to pay them... I can't see myself sitting at a desk job all day, no matter how much money I would make. So yes, the lottery would be a wonderful beautiful thing. But I guess I will just have to figure something else out for now.Sierrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01665027521839986964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7148735542162027173.post-86532894401386438032011-01-05T16:45:17.599-05:002011-01-05T16:45:17.599-05:00About the bodyguards: I think that is the beauty o...About the bodyguards: I think that is the beauty of being rich and not famous, maybe you could fly under the radar. Move to a place where people don't know your are a millionaire. Unlike those people you see that win the lottery and try to stay in the same town. People never leave them alone and they give it all away...tiff1974https://www.blogger.com/profile/17467266932931912698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7148735542162027173.post-56713591838625392222011-01-05T16:40:34.995-05:002011-01-05T16:40:34.995-05:00I play the lottery with a few people at work twice...I play the lottery with a few people at work twice a week. It is fun to dream about spending all that cash! I also have student loan debt...and medical bills (the wonderful % that insurance does not cover, my husband and youngest child both broke a bone this year). I have a nice middle class life and the mortgage and vehicle loans that go with it but we are a double income household so we do fine. BUT if money were no object I would definitely be very generous and try to make a difference in other people's lives. I would also travel and start my own brand selling things I design. It would take minimum of $10,000 for me to just have small bills paid off...tiff1974https://www.blogger.com/profile/17467266932931912698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7148735542162027173.post-12455108858940549342011-01-05T15:37:50.295-05:002011-01-05T15:37:50.295-05:00If you're going out to eat I vote for Virginia...If you're going out to eat I vote for Virginia's on King.

There'd be thousands of dollars a day in income if it was invested even half-way sane.<br /><br />Problem with *winning* 300million, I suspect, is that you'd have to hire bodyguards to keep from getting kidnapped. Otherwise... You could totally give away thousands of dollars *a day*.<br /><br />Alyse- $500 a week would be an amazing income. <br /><br />Kim- 16k in student loans, huh? I spent last night thinking "you know, if I could just match enough for the 250k, it'd give me enough to pay off all my debt, plus enough to live on for 5 years while I build a business or something". But no, no numbers here at all...j.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05488121165040555447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7148735542162027173.post-90423258656896597562011-01-05T12:17:31.513-05:002011-01-05T12:17:31.513-05:00One lump sum of $16,000 after taxes would be amazi...One lump sum of $16,000 after taxes would be amazing. I wouldn't turn down more (I could put 300 mil to such good use), but 16k would be enough to make a real difference.KA Congdonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11253724993779319583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7148735542162027173.post-55493044467138097182011-01-05T11:02:26.886-05:002011-01-05T11:02:26.886-05:00I bring home enough a year to put me in the "...I bring home enough a year to put me in the "poverty level". $250 a week. haha. If I made $500 a week, it would seriously change my life. I would not know what to do with all that money. It's so funny that I have EVERYTHING I need and some of what I want, and I'm classified as being in the poverty level. Strangeness. <br /><br />One lottery is up to $300 million or something, I heard. Who in the world really needs that much money? I'd be donating the hell out of it, that's for sure.Alysehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13331890390365665801noreply@blogger.com
