FLIGHT OF FANCY Someday, after I'm wealthy I have plans on spending portions of my good fortune | Here's a few directions I'm planning to take:
• Off the top, paying off all my current debt; that one was easy |
• Get the addition to our house, plus the studio I'e wanted to put up, designed and built |
• Establishing three separate trust funds;
• # 1 - To endow an inpatient psychiatric facility with an Advocacy Chair and Program ~ there would be strings attached; I select the candidates and do the actual hiring, training and administrative oversight, even though, on the payroll records, the staff are "employees" of the facility
• # 2 - Establish a Special Needs trust for deserving clients, including purchase of residenial dwellings, factoring in transportation needs, and personal care services
• # 3 - Develop an enterprise start-up mini-grant fund to provide seed money for up to three years for applicants to pursue self-employment initatives; factor in technical support and fiscal planning assistance
• Acquire property for open space preservation; light recreational and/or hunting use
• Underwrite the cost of expansion of public library services, internet use training to the general populace
• Establish a scholarhsip fund for deserving indviduals who wish to pursue career paths in agriculture, forestry, sustainable resource development, land and wildlife management and education
• Set Bruce up in some creative business endeavor again
• Oh, and squirreling away a fistful of dollars to develop a personal land trust, retreat and painting studio
Somewhere in the mix there are one two six individuals who I would do what I could to get them specialized care and services as warranted
And a huge pot of money set aside for personal travel, well, money for travel for two, cuz I expect Bruce is going to want to come on a number of those trips
All that said, I don't plan on immediately quitting my job, and may sit on disclosure long enough to talk it all over with my attorney and a couple of high-powered accountants |
