Stats show that many people are worse off after winning the lotto. Try saving like HALF of it at least and live off the interest for retirement. Then you won't end up in a shoe box after 10 years.
ya thats cuz most ppl start buying shit for all their friends and other stuff they dont need and cant afford to keep over the course of years.
my point of this thread however isnt to take things so serious, just to ask what u would do, if u were financially stable to do anything.
and with that, Ive made too many posts on my own thread lol, taking a break now.
My comment was in there already. Save half and live off the interest. Seriously, think this way. 75 million * 3% is about 2.25 million. That's less than half of what you were claiming. But even then, losing a chunk of that to income tax, how do you spend that much in a year over a course of at least 30 years without being retarded? I mean even half of the winnings... how do you spend 7.5million per year for 10 years? Fuck, in year 1, you got like 5 houses and 5 of the craziest cars you ever want. Travel? Pfft... tickets + hotel won't dent half a mill unless you're being dumb like I said before.
But seriously,
save some. You'll play for a fucking longer time than you imagine.
However, while it's fun to deal with those "fun" pleasures... charity is actually just as fun and rewarding. I've done a lot of travel and it's more fun when you're doing stuff like feeding the poor, helping poor people rebuild things... etc. Wandering around to sites gets boring quite quickly.
I'm not trying to teach a life lesson... even though this post seems like it... but seriously. Save some of it, spend the "crazy money" and do everything in this thread. In 10 years, you shouldn't be living out of a shoe box.
Oh yeah, another thing... hire a financial advisor.
I've also always considered buying a huge ranch with all sorts of random buildings built on it. Imagine a huge ranch with like 5-6 mansions on it with different architectures, open fields, different plants etc. Invite film makers at a discount to stay at your place and maybe make a few films. Easy way to meet celebs. Shouldn't cost more than 20-30 mil total too.
