40. A copper still these days is pretty expensive.
This is where Woodford Reserve is made.

46. I know. You should see the rest of the distillery. That location was the
birthplace of Sour Mash.

Pictured is some aging houses.



More of the Labrot-Graham distillery.



I'm more of a Eagle Rare fan than Woodford Reserve.

5. Pay off my house and save myself more than $1,000 per month, which I could use for my kids' college.
Yeah, I could put it to good use.

For some people faced with losing their homes because of medical bills, that amount spent on clothes and frills must seem obscene.

10. Laboratory Assistance Grants
My nonprofit is having a fundraiser for this. The fund was set up to pay the lab fees for patients of any doctor in the area. Many folks around here either don't have insurance or their insurance won't pay for lab fees. Since labs are the way doctors can find out more about a patient's condition, they are vital for diagnosis. Having this much money would help a lot of folks who are hurting and scared.

19. Pay off all my student loans
I'd love to be able to pay off all my student loans before I retire. (I'm 36) Would be nice to not have anymore when I finish my PhD in 3-4 years....studing cloning and stem cells.

Despite being a veteran I've had to borrow approx. $50K since 2000...Associates->Bachelor's->Master's->PhD...After a while I just stopped adding it all up, it makes me nauseous and depressed

Wouldn't be surprised if it all ends up costing almost as much as Palin's wardrobe, I betcha

30. Make sure everyone in the family has health insurance. Start a school fund for my 4 yo grandson. ...
Tell hubby he can retire now because our health insurance would be covered until Medicare kicks in. Buy a house higher above sea level than the one we live in. Give generously to the local food bank and homeless shelter.

Sarah Palin and the entire RNC can kiss my rosy roseola. x(

32. Debt Free-ness.
And with what was left over, I could have a down payment for a house here in Oklahoma, and a new car for my husband. And then I'd still have like $50,000 left over for random shit.

43. What could YOU buy with Sarah Palin's wardrobe money??? The rest of my life.
I get by on VERY little. $150,000 would be put in the bank and it would sit there for future emergencies.
I wouldn't waste a penny on things I 'want.' It would only be for 'need.'
