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 |
Perspectives on: human rights; environmental concerns; life as a visual artist; 21st century feudalism; progressive politics; aboriginal culture; new urbanism; permaculture; sustainable technology; non-traditional families; achievable utopias
