What would you do if you won the lottery?

I would buy a great big house and devote a room (or two) to reptiles. And give my fiance a laboratory in the basement.

Oh yes! PLEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:D :D :D

Not only does this thread rule for the subject matter, it rules because people brought up ESPs (MII-Deluxe here).

I would never "work" again. I know how people always say "well I have to keep busy so I'd continue to go to work blah blah blahhhh" - NEVER. I'd probably just dedicate my life to movies & music.

Id buy a new house and lad with horses,cattle, and a huge reptiel room and a rat room!! And of coarse buy alot of snakes!:carrot:

snakes, snakes, and more snakes. a new house for my mom. A street legal completely built jeep with one ton drivetrain and 42's is all i need :D


I may even get my girlfriend something too

that is such bad advice! put it in the bank??? at the lowest interest you can get? much better to put it into mutual funds and make some real money. some fund companies are making 30-50% right now! think of how you could turn that money around and have it make you more money. that's why the rich stay rich... they invest their money and live off the interest!

I may not have been clear - he said even IF you only earn 4% off of savings, you could live off of the interest.

He advised that anyone that has new money should not try to invest the first year. They should take the first year to enjoy their "new found wealth" and get it out of their system, limiting the spending to 10%. During that year, they should also be studying investing to make well-informed decisions.

first get with my attorney and secure the money in several accounts! next go get a ferrari (enzo gt)! then let my wife go crazy and buy/design/build our dream home. after that go on a long vacation with and without the kids and live it up for a bit! i don't know after that :D

ps, 100 mil is plenty to live off of, in any kind of account! even if you only got 4% interest!:O

well honestly even in some very 'secure' mutual funds companies you could get closer to 10% which... on that kind of money is huge chunk of change ;)

but i get the point. thanks for clarifying. ;)

I'd pack up my family and disappear. ;)
