First of all, this is so unrealistic but hey, we sometimes need a little bit of day dreaming. It keeps us smiling, at least for the day.
If I had that much of amount, I will keep the amount for at least 24 hours in my bank account before planning to spend it. Because, I learned from experience that impulse buys are always a regret in the end. And I don’t want to regret with what I have, well it’s not always that we get a hold of a humongous amount of money!!!
Ok so let’s say it has been kept for a good amount of hours and now I’m only starting to plan on what to buy.
- New Home:- The first thing on my mind is to purchase a home near my preferred amenities, like my children’s school, the mosque and maybe the community club (I have this liking for community clubs where i can attend classes or send my kids for great life skills activities);) What kind of house am I eyeing on? A house with at least 6 bed rooms in it. Why? Because I’d want 3 rooms to be our bed rooms, husband and I, kids will have their own individual rooms. 1 praying room. 1 crafters room for me to get busy on the sewing machines and create more beautiful and practical craft pieces. And the last room would be for guests, anyone from our family who wants to sleepover as long as they want to. Sounds fun isn’t it?! A productive home is when the rooms are fully utilized!
- Revamp the whole house:- When we have moved into a new home, I would want to renovate and get new furnitures to compliment my most liked home interior design concept – minimalist. Why I want a new home and spend on home renovation and all is that I want my home to be as homely as possible. Of course with great people in the house, the house will indeed be more than just a house, it will be a welcoming home. And I want to achieve that, for my children. Kids will grow and I want them to want to stay home more often and maybe ask friends over (when I’m around) to do their homework instead of them going out to public places or to their friends place. Other than that reason, I just want a beautiful home because I love a beautiful organized home. And of course IKEA will be in my top list to shop for home because they have an awesome range of home products that is not only minimalist, but also tidy and practical.
- Driving license:- Now that I have a beautiful home, I would like to pick up a very useful skill! I said it. Vehicle driving license! Not only for me, but for my husband too!! Well, simply because it’s going to be useful in the long run. 😋 Why a car driving license instead of a motorcycle? Because I’ve got a family already of course!
- Car:- When you own a driving license but have no vehicle of your own, it’s incomplete right? So yeah. I’d like a 10 seater mini bus. You must be wondering why I need such a big car when I have only 2 kids. It’s because I plan to bring our other family members as well. Maybe our parents, siblings and their children. The more the merrier you know. 😂😂😂
- Classes:- Enough of the house and car already let’s move on to things I’d like to do that’s truly beneficial. I’d like to send my children, husband and myself to religious classes.I don’t want to miss out on this golden opportunity !! Nowadays, even religious classes has a price to it and it’s not always that we can afford for the whole family to do this. If possible, I want to see my children obtain a diploma certificate in Islamic studies. In syaa Allah. Because this will benefit them fully and that I will not be worried about any lacking knowledge that they must bring for the life hereafter.
- Zakat:- If I do not do this while I am given that huge amount, it will all go to waste. To be honest, I do not know a lot about zakat but I will learn as much as I can now and commit to this one ibadah. In syaa Allah Aamiin.
- Haji:- Nope, not for me alone, but for my husband, parents and children. Yes, to the most holy place on earth, Makkah. In my 5th point, I said I’d like to attend religious classes, it is linked to this point here. If I am knowledgeable and hopefully guided, I will fulfill this.
Ok so I have come to my last plan on spending an enormous amount of money, I hope with all this hopes and dreams, would come true, but as I say, it’s just me day dreaming. Unless, I really did achieve great career or business venture. Well, currently I’m just a common laborer with a simple yet happy family. We will still work on all these dreams but according to what we can afford. A huge house or not, we still have to pray even if we don’t have a praying room, we still welcome family members to sleepover even if they had to sleep in our kids bedroom, and I will still want to sew stuff ! Even if we don’t own a car, there’s always the public transport to take and it’s cheaper too! Religious classes will still be accomplished with Allah’s great will and our determination to attend them. I will do best to achieve these dreams even if I hadn’t had a huge amount of money. This is being dreamy but working on it. And it would mean a lot more than just getting a 10million dollars cash. And with that, I end my blog post.
I hope and pray for all of our well beingand may we be amongst the grateful and thankful people. Aamiin.
