THE WAY TO YOUR DREAMS!

1. When people buy a lottery ticket, they immediately start to tell each other: `If I win the lottery, I will quit my job, buy a mansion, and travel around the world.` These people usually believe that having a million dollars will make all their dreams come true. In reality, a million dollars may not be enough for all your dreams. There are several reasons for this.

2. Firstly, in most countries, prices for everything such as food, education, transportation, and housing have generally increased. This is mostly because the population increased and more and more people want to have these basic needs and so the prices go up. For example, in The UK, the average price of a new house used to be £ 200,000 in the 2000’s but now people must pay around £ 500,000. House prices in city centers have increased, too. People moved from city centers to the villages to escape the crowds and noise. Today they are coming back because they want to be close to their work places so this also increases the housing prices. Therefore, if you want to buy a very big and luxurious house, you will probably spend all of the lottery prize.

3. Secondly, travelling around the world is everyone`s dream but it isn’t that easy to do this, either. If you would like to travel around the world, you need to make a good plan and organize your budget, too. You may need visas to enter some countries and the plane tickets can be very expensive. For instance, when you travel from Turkey to The United States for a month with a family of 4, the average total price will be around $ 30,000. If you spend this much money for just one country, you will spend a lot of money for a worldwide tour.

4. In conclusion, winning a lot of money from a lottery doesn’t really make this world a dream place forever. The prices for everything have increased a lot and even this much money may not be enough for all your dreams to come true. It will be best if you don’t stop working even after you win.
