A natural way to answer

I think I'd buy a comfortable home first, somewhere quiet. Then I'd put some money aside and be careful not to spend it too fast. I'd want it to last.

Key phrases to use

  • blow it all — to spend all your money quickly, often carelessly“He won some cash and blew it all in a weekend.”
  • splash out — to spend a lot of money on something special“We splashed out on a fancy dinner for our anniversary.”
