Let me just start this one off by mentioning that I have never had money, but I've always done alright. There has always been a roof over my head, food in my belly, and clothes on my back. I have my health and I have love and acceptance from my friends and family. I have never needed anything more than that, so money really means very, very little to me. I am grateful for the life I have had and the life I will continue to lead. That being said, a girl can still dream and dream I do. :)

• I'd buy myself a house.
• I'd buy a new car.
• I'd take a trip through Europe and Australia.
• I'd make a large "donation" to Goodwill. (Not to write it off on my taxes, but to buy the best of whatever they have for sale. Goodwill has a LOT of really awesome, hidden treasures and the proceeds go to a good cause. Even if I were rich, I would not be above wearing second-hand clothing. The tax write off is not important to me at all. As it is, I donate enough to local charities that I could get a pretty decent return if I wanted to be a stingy asshole.)
• I'd stock the wet bar in my new house.
• I'd open a brewery/winery complete with a gift shop, vacation rentals, bar and restaurant in my hometown.

There's probably a lot of different ways I would use a billion dollars. However, I can't think of all of them right now. I'm tempted to say that finding a cure for the common cold would be one of them. LOL
