Welcome to Ms. Career Girl’s shortest blog post ever. 

I had some really interesting conversations this weekend that really got me thinking. I’m sure you’ll hear more about these soon. 

Here’s one fragment for you to chew on for today.

What would you do if you were given $1,000,000 right now? (Tax free, no strings attached)

  • How would this money change your life?  Your career? 
  • Would it change the types of people you date?
  • Would you move? 
  • Would you feel more confident?
  • What’s the first thing you would buy?
  • Would you give any away?

Money is a really interesting (and psychological) thing.  I’m very curious about your responses.
