JuiceBox Talk: Saving Money and Winning the Lottery

by Kate on October 14th, 2009 | 1 Comment » | In Uncategorized
The JuiceBox on my sidebar (below the sponsors section) is full of money this week. Mint.com (an awesome and free way to manage AND SAVE your money online) is the sponsor. Saving money is obviously a concern for everyone these days and there’s some useful and funny content within that little Box.

The JuiceBoxJungle ad is actually pretty cool – and much more than a boring image. You can:
* Watch a movie about budgeting with Mint.com.
* Send an ecard (to a friend’s email or post on Facebook) directly from the widget to tell a friend how you save money online.
* Update Twitter and complete this sentence: “If I won the lottery tomorrow, I would…

I used to play the lottery game with my mom every week when she bought a lottery ticket. We would plan out how to spend (and save) all the millions we were going to win. The game is actually still pretty fun. Here’s what I would do if I won the lottery tomorrow:

1. Pay off my law school loans.
2. Put plenty of money in savings accounts so my kids never have to worry about school loans like I do.
3. Buy a bigger house and pay someone to clean it.
4. Arrange a family vacation for our extended families.

I could go on. And on. But, what about you? I’d love to know what would you do if you won the lottery tomorrow?

And if you’re on Twitter, just click the widget on the JuiceBox to join in the conversation by sending a tweet.
