grimhilde00 01/23/21 10:55:58 AM #7:	Have a financial advisor (fiduciary) already, but I'd get a lawyer, and yeah idk for purchases. I'd give two weeks notice and really focus on continuing therapy, getting back to pre-COVID shape, investing a lot of time into real self care. Our plan for where we're living the next 7 years or so probably wouldn't change much. Still want to move around a lot so not buying a house for many years. Not sure where we'd want to settle down yet. Yeah the main things I would want to do is just quit my job, work on myself, and spend my time doing my gamedev passion projects, live off investments. After I release a game on my own, could be fun to maybe start a very small studio. Travel more once things are back to normal. Not sure about purchases though. Would probably buy a bunch of clothes once I got back to my pre-COVID weight. I don't drive so no to car (at least until I take lessons since I've kinda forgotten, years from now I don't want to relearn in this horrible driving city lol). Having nice art would be nice but I don't want that until I buy a house. I already have a really nice computer. Maybe a decent sailboat and lessons lol? /shrug. Could be fun in the bay area while we're here for a few years. Then could just gift it to my bf's dad, he likes to sail and has a boat, would be an upgrade. The freedom to do whatever I want with my time and not have to work is the biggest thing winning the lottery would give me. --- aka kriemhilde00 <cite>grimhilde00 posted [p:949825742] in If you had...

adjl 01/23/21 12:18:28 PM #9:	I'd pay off my and my girlfriend's student loans (~$60k total), my mother's mortgage (~$500k, low-interest enough that the money would be better invested, but that'd be pocket change for me and I think the QoL improvement from being debt-free would mean more to her), and buy my girlfriend's mother a house and move her out here (probably another ~$500k). From there, another $5 million apiece would very comfortably fund both mothers' retirements if invested sensibly, so I'd toss that out as well. That would bring it down to (assuming half was lost to taxes) $489 million. Invest that at a 3-5% return and it'll make me $15-25 million a year, half of which would disappear to taxes (so $7.5-12.5). 2 x $100,000 of that would go toward funding my two sisters' living expenses (it'd easily cover them, any further luxury is on them to earn for themselves). Another $200,000 would cover myself and my girlfriend very comfortably, and would probably actually be a lot more than we'd need (really, we could get by on $100,000 quite happily). Maybe set aside another $100k for good measure, and that'd leave $7-12 million a year to donate to various local causes (recognizing that donating it would throw off the taxation estimate above, but I can't be bothered to mess with that). I'd have to look further into that to figure out what causes would be worthwhile and just how far that'd go, but it would single-handedly cover half of the provincial food bank's annual expenses ($16.1 million last year, with $16.3 in revenue), which would be nice. Could probably do a lot for shelter purposes, too, particularly as far as funding a housing-first initiative goes. However, this is all hypothetical, so there's not much point budgeting that out now. ReggieTheReckless posted... I guess that's our most direct comparable statistic to exactly what percentage of people are fucking brain dead stupid Idiots, lol "HURRR I WON THE LOTTERY IM GONNA BUY EVVVVERYTHING AND LIVE IN A CASTLE MANSION WITH SERVANTS" Pretty much. More often than not, lottery wins go to people that have very little understanding of how to handle significant amounts of money. They're used to only splurging on stuff when they can afford it, so once they can afford everything, they splurge on everything. It's surprising just how quickly you can burn through even $100 million if you completely disregard trying to hold onto it. It also doesn't help that any significant lottery win results in everyone you've ever known coming out of the woodworks to beg for "just 1 million." Turning that down can be hard, but heeding it adds up faster than many people realize. There is also the point that being poor tends to result in a fundamental mindset of feeling compelled to spend money on something whenever you have it. That's a simple consequence of always being behind or barely scraping by: the idea of hanging onto money feels foreign and uncomfortable. Obviously, that mentality is inappropriate once you come into a very large amount of money, but it can be really hard to overcome that compulsion. --- This is my signature.

argonautweakend 01/23/21 12:24:41 PM #10:	You know, i don't know about first thing but I'd get my house totall renovated and looking brand new. I do not want to move necessarily and i'll tell you why. My house is on a hill overlooking a valley and on the other hill is a 3 million dollar mansion. I can take trails from the end of my street to a huge county park to the back yard of that mansion. That guy has trail access, too and I can get right up to a gate on their property that has a sign that says "thats the end of county land and i'd be tresspassing to climb that gate/fence.

Dikitain 01/23/21 10:34:34 PM #37:	Pay off my house, pay for any renovations on my house that it might need for the next 20 years, set aside accounts for living expenses, medical expenses, and emergency funds to last me for the next 80 years. All told, would probably need about 10 million for all that, so I might just donate the rest to charity. Of course, it will never happen because the first thing I would want is to remain anonymous and New York doesn't allow you to do that (unless you form an LLC and pull the money from that, way too much work). --- I am a Contract Software Developer.

DrCidd 01/25/21 3:13:27 PM #41:	KazGT6 posted... you think you'd go broke in 5 yrs even with all that money? When some people get a lot of money, they think they have to spend a lot of money. It's weird. But most lottery winners do go broke fast. I get it though, I'm sure it'd be nice if you were to think yourself "I'd like to have that" knowing good and well, that right at this moment, you have so much money that it's literally pocket change of a purchase to you. And a lot of people who have never had a lot of money, have no experience managing a lot of money. It's so astronomically large sometimes relative to any amount they've had prior, so it feels like it will never run out. Until it does. That's why you hear so many "I wish I would have known" stories from former lottery winners. A financial advisor isn't necessarily a great idea, I think they would take advantage of you, personally. But I'd say, there's likelihood that self preservation might be enough of a factor for them to keep you rich. Because it's a steady paycheck, and job security would rely on keeping you relatively rich at least. So maybe not terrible, either. I'd probably buy a couple brand new cars, remodel (or just outright rebuild) my house, keep somewhere between 10-30 mil available for impulse buys, and the rest would go into an account, never to be touched, so that I could live comfortably off the interest for the rest of my life. --- I used to think my brain was my favorite part of my body...Then I realized what was making me think that! <cite>DrCidd posted [p:949908489] in If you had...

I don't doubt that it'd be a major hassle to do that, but the idea that anything is "too much work" for that kind of money seems a little odd. I mean, when you don't even want that much money in the first place, yea it is a lot of work. I am fine having enough money so that I don't have to worry about money the rest of my life (like I said around 10 million), but anything more then that is just a hassle.
