I have to say since losing my job last year I have a much different outlook on money. I never cared about money before. I made a decent living, not rich, but just middle class income being a teacher. Not having enough money was never an issue. I had enough to pay my bills, take my girlfriend out whenever we wanted to go out, Not spend lavishly, but I could buy things if I wanted something. But that all changed quickly when i lost my job and money took on a whole new meaning to me. I always thought that schools were exactly what they advertised. "Had the students' best interest at heart", but losing my job the way I did and along with 10 other dedicated teachers I know now that education in this country is just another big business. That's all it is. They cut 10 of us with 10 or more years of teaching experience, and hired 10 new teachers to replace us fresh out of college. they saved hundreds of thousands of dollars by doing that. Somehow the year before we lost our jobs they passed a new district policy with our union that made seniority a thing of the past. that way they could do away with any teacher they wanted, which meant that they would target the teachers with many years experience and who were kind of high on the payscale. Pretty dirty.
SO. Since going through all of this and seeing how dirty they are, just scum of the earth actually I have thought about this so many times if I were to come into a lot of money. First thing I would do is go to the board of education in my district and tell them that I am going to donate 20 million dollars to the school district.................but on one condition. That the administrators all be terminated, and when they are terminated I will immediately issue the school district a 20 million dollar check. I would get more satisfaction out of that than anything else in the world right now. Do you sense some bitterness? absolutely. They ruined my career and the careers of 10 teachers by doing what they did. Vengeance is what I am all about right now.
Otherwise I would buy a few hundred acres of land with a pond or lake and build a house. Not a mansion though, just a nice 2 or 3 bedroom home. Buy a lambo. an H1, Some offroad toys. Buy some gen rolexes definitely. Give my dad 10 million so he can retire, and same with my mom and sister. Spend my time fishing and hunting, and looking at my watches. OH, and build Benji the most awesome enclosure ever built. I would love it to be at least an acre big with a pond for him to swim in.
