Someone recently posted this question on a message board I frequent:

"What would you do if you won $100 or $1,000 or $10,000 in the lottery? What would the Practical You do, and what would the Fun You do?"

I've been thinking about that question a lot.

Practical
$100 - water storage barrel
$1,000 - emergency savings
$10,000 - $5,000 into a high-interest savings account and $5,000 emergency savings

Fun
$100 - $50 worth of nice cheeses and pasta and $50 for a fruit tree
$1,000 - $500 for landscaping and $500 for carpet for the basement
$10,000 - $1000 landscaping, $1000 carpet, $2000 new kitchen counters and farmhouse sink, $2000 road trip to Disneyland, $500 have house exterior painted, $1000 update Fritz's and my wardrobe, $2500 savings (I can't help it!)

What would you do?
