My god, people are stupid
With the one exception in this thread being @MinGrey02Stg2 it almost seems like the lottery is just a game and they choose the most stupid people imaginable lol.... Now if only this conspirators would read my previous post..
I just completed that thread, like you said he's down to $150k already and still hasn't gotten the truck he wants. He says he expects to pay an additional 60k+ in taxes come tax time. He's going through it fast!
Yup

I used to think that too, but I've become more patient. My 2019 property tax bill has a line, "Gaming & Lottery Tax Credit" of $178. So I say, "Keep pulling out those $20 bills bitches" - lol.
not any winnings but my two cousins inherited their father's beach home when he passed away. the older, wiser cousin wanted to continue renting it out. the younger, ambitious cousin wanted to sell so he could fund some business ventures he had in mind. the older one ended up buying him out. younger cousin got about $250k in cash. he did some world traveling. partied with some ladies he knew from the LA scene etc.. a year later he was crashing on his mom's couch and hitting up every family member he could to borrow money to pay bills. all gone within a year or so. didnt even have a fancy, or POS, car to show for it. didnt end up starting any business ventures lol. but he does have some cool memories and photos on his FB/IG from Thailand and Cuba lol.
USC grad too lol.
USC grad too lol.
When the powerball kept hitting absurd highs there were several articles about all the 1 million dollar winning tickets going unclaimed - people would see they didnt win the powerball and just toss their ticket out
yaaa this is why I avoid the gas stations near work on Fridays, all the geniuses spending their checks on lotto tickets. This doesn't surprise me a bit, the majority of people in situations like that didn't get their by accident or pure bad luck. So he was broke as a joke spending roughly 2500-5k a year (weekly vs biweekly pay) on scratch offs.
even if it was a straight million bucks in your pocket, you won't be living the lifestyle of the rich and famous (or at least not for long) but invest it right, keep living basically the same life and you'll likely never have to worry about a bill ever again.
That’s where I’m at at the end.
I figured my bills could be knocked to less than 10k a year once my house is paid off.
A cool million would last me til I die easily if I stayed on my same budget and my house was paid off
This is a bit off topic, but I think most of us are the same; the biggest expense for any one of us is housing and it isn't going to get any cheaper. When I retire I am going to sell our big house and use the money I make from the sale to buy a smaller place outright. At least that's the plan.
All of the retirement calculators and finance advisors say you have to be able to live off of 80% of your income when you retire. Last I checked, if my kids are no longer living with me and I own a house outright, I can get by on a lot less. LOL
You could always be frugal and do spec Miata.....nah...Ferrari Challenge it is.
Already essentially do spec Miata but a class higher. I'm talking like Indy lites or F3
I'm gonna buy a $20 ticket today. **** it.
Quick google shows more than $600 can't be done at purchase location, so yeah.
