If I Had $50,000 #GoldenKitten

I’m a practical dreamer. Whereas many people would probably blow much of the $50,000 on luxury trips, fancy cars and pretty new shoes, I would feel want to make sure I was set-up and settled a bit. There are a few ways that I could possibly spend the $50,000:

Possible dream scenario: Put down a good down-payment on a house, somewhere in Canada. There aren’t very many places where I’d want to live in Canada, so I’d have to really check out the country, first. . .by going on a cross-Canada road trip, of course! Nothing too expensive or fancy, but it would probably cost between $3,000 and $6,000 to do the once-in-a-lifetime trip, spending 1 or 2 months driving there and back. It’s always been something that I’ve wanted to do. I’d camp as much as I could or wanted to, check out the National Parks, cities and ‘world’s largest’ things around the country, then decide on a place to have my home. I really like the West Coast, so may just end up back here, though the housing prices are kind of insanely expensive!

I love stone and brick, so I’d be tempted to have a home that looks like either of the two above. I know that $50,000 wouldn’t go very far with owning a home, but maybe the money will help me a little in the way of my dreams. I would also set aside at least $10,000 of the money for savings/emergencies.
