If you’re going to blow your money at least spend it on things you can sell for some value in the future. Invest the money in an education so I could have ‘‘Options’’ as Flonominol put it.
Na, you really can’t go wrong with mad hookers and blow. :tup:
Ugh, I hate hearing stories like this.
It’s always the retards that win the lotto.
This is merely a case of someone with poor money management. He suddenly got a ton of cash, but clearly didn’t know what to do with it.
If I won the lottery, I would still live a modest life and I would still work. The only difference is I would be in a position to choose where I want to work, and how long.
I’ve heard to arguments to winning the lottery. One is invest, save make sure you have a comfortable future. The other, is you only get this chance once in a million lifetimes, live like a rock star and blow it all. In the end…it’s your money, do wtf you want with…if it’s fucking hookers and snorting coke off their ass, fucking eh. just don’t complain afterwards.
edit…i just read the article…you have to practice to be a garbage man?? wtf
that is an absurd amount of crack.
agreed :tup:
Personally, I’d invest, send money back home to relatives in Africa, get the kids a British education. Buy some real estate in the city and build some houses that I can rent, live off the interest and leave something for my future kids.
Craziest thing I’d do is buy a cryo freezer, a nuclear bunker and build a indoor/outdoor bumper cart racing rink :rock:
That retard…again. lol Michael Carrol was on a show called Curse of the Lottery. It was either on A&E or TLC. I’m leaning towards TLC. It was a show about people who won the lottery, and life just went downhill. Although, they made a point that in his case, his life was already going downhill. It just went donwhill much faster once he got the money. He had a record before he even won the lottery. In fact, he showed up to pick up his money wearing an ankle bracelet or some shit. lol He was a real asshole, and never realized the opportunity he had. You could tell from his attitude, he was going to end up broke.
Jive Out!
EDIT: Typos. Testing out this “flat roll out keyboard”. Do not like.
after seeing this guy…you might want to rethink that.
why…why in the fuck can’t I win the lottery?
I’ve finally found out how the world works. All the assholes and retarded people are the ones who get shit all the time. Assholes get the females and retards are the ones getting paid and doing dumb shit. So in the theory, I must be an asshole or some how become retarded.
That’s not quite accurate imo. The lottery is more of some “tax on stupidity” more than anything else, as anybody who knows statistics or realizes that you have to lose money because the lottory-people are profiting from it won’t actually buy any lottery-related items.
Hmm…on one hand I think he’s a fucking retard and on the other I think ‘eh’ at least he can say he enjoyed his youth. He seems ok with the prospect of being broke for the rest of his life.
You can’t take money with you to the grave.
lol, sending my kids to private school
funny though I reckon half the England football team are chavs and behave like him, it’s just they get to cash in a cheque every week.
The guy said he’s happier without the millions because people were after his money like vultures.
One reason why I said I would still live a modest life is because I don’t want to attract the vultures. I understand how the guy feels, but he didn’t think this through. He’s made other people happy with the money, and that’s commendable, but what about his kids?
Also, dude gained crazy weight since he won the lottery.
Which is everyone who wins the lottery. If you win the lottery, you have poor money management by virtue of the fact that you played the lottery.
Idk about that…while i get what youre saying, playing the megamillions every once a while is not bad IMO. I mean, its only a dollar. Playing it everyday, plus with scratch offs and whatever is bad money mangament though…bc that shit will add up.
Statistically, you have to spend more money than you will get in order to win the lottery. Obviously, it doesn’t usually happen this way because of other factors, but that’s the way it works out mathematically.
I guess that depends on how one plays the lottery. Merely playing doesn’t mean you have poor money management. Maybe if you buy like 30 tickets a day or something. I buy 3 lines every time I get gas, which comes to about $6. I get gas about every two weeks.
No, it doesn’t. The mere fact that the potential for return is so low makes even the smallest purchase irrational from an economic standpoint. Everyone tries to rationalize their particular level of spending to be different, but in the end it doesn’t matter. The principle is still the same.
