This Reddit post and the two follow ups because he hit the character limit pretty much sums it up. https://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/24vzgl/you_just_won_a_656_million_dollar_lottery_what_do/chba4bf/ What surprised me was the number of 1-digit millionaires that suffered the same fate. That kind of win is not life-changing. Heck, many cities in US/Canada have an AVERAGE housing price of $1 million, meaning you could literally buy a new house (not a mansion), and that's it. Yeah, anybody who hears "winning the lottery!" thinks of some massive windfall but most guys who win a good chunk of money don't win enough to really live the high life. My dad met one lotto winner who just took his winnings and retired a little earlier. Apparently he still drinks at the same bar, has the same hobbies, etc. Lokarin posted... desuno-to posted...

When ma dad was my age a fair sized rural 5 bedroom was around $35'000 That's right, cheaper than most new cars now. tbh, we need to create a "Housing Costs Are Too Damn High" Party and run on the issue of housing costs being too damn high. --- (\/)(\/)\|-\| There are precious few at ease / With moral ambiguities / So we act as though they don't exist. <cite>Zeus posted [p:894432535] in What are s...
