IT’S AN OLDIE but a goodie – the old chestnut ice-breaker broken out in conversations since time immemorial.
“If you won, what would you spend the money on?”
Well, we’re not asking you that question today.
Instead, we’re putting a bit of a new twist on an old classic – we want to get you daydreaming about what you’d share with your family and friends (or even society at large) if you came into a big windfall.
First off, to give you some inspiration, we put our heads together and came up with a wishlist. The first of which is this very Cliff Richard Summer Holiday idea:
Buy a row of terraced houses and knock them all together for my extended family to live in. Maybe even do it somewhere like Lahinch or Bundoran and use it as a holiday home. Why the hell not?

Just as long as you’re in goals, mate. Music-lovers might prefer something like this:
Put on a private mini-festival in my back garden. Imagine Thom Yorke asking where to use the loo.
We’re imagining it alright. Although we’re more thinking Beyoncé asking how to switch on the kettle for her tea break before Jay-Z takes the stage.
If you’re into travel, this might float your boat:
Hire a private jet and fly all my girls out for a party on an island. Richard Branson style. That guy knows how to live.
Good idea. Save us a window seat.

You’d have to #ShareTheDream and do something really out there, right? If you’re that kind of a dreamer, you might also be interested in checking out our all new Good News section on TheJournal.ie. Only the best and happiest news of the day. Now that’s worth daydreaming about…
