Hey Alexia, much thanks for the post, I appreciate it!

I don't buy the lottery that much, after intending $20 mill (I didn't plan it in the lottery, I planned to make it by starting a different business - A holistic center for psych, physical training, spirituality, etc as per Think and Grow Rich), I just had a very strange dream that asked me to buy the lottery, so I bought one ticket, and that's all.

I am following my dreams, I am returning to uni this year to study psychology which I've always wanted to do. Just that it will be a struggle, as I have to stay at home for 6 more years at least (the amount of study it takes to become a registered psych), and I have to rely on working part time in my current business and on my savings for those years.

I just don't want to stay at home for the next 6 years; I'm 25 at the moment, and will feel like the biggest loser if I am still at home till I'm 31. But with the upcoming studies, I don't see how I will be able to make the money to move out - and still study well - hence I was hoping that the dream is not some rbbish dream, and will be able to help me rent a place for a few years until I finish my new studies.

Please tell me your thoughts!
