If I won the 425 million powerball I would..
Get in touch with an attorney of good standing.
Setup trust Give some to charity, St. Judes for sure. Give two weeks notice at work. Travel the US Get a scar 17 and about 4000 acres to shoot it. |
Die. That would be all. I wouldn't have to worry about money, regardless of whether I collected or not, because I would die from the shock.
But, if I survived... Lawyer Accountant Trust Guns Home And the 4K acres next door to Downsouth. :) |
I really like the first 2 suggestions!
Not much else to add except perhaps take my home computer which I have stayed up countless til 2am nights doing freelance graphic design on for years.....fly myself out to Arizona & stand at the highest peak of the grand canyon.....and chuck it as hard as I could whilst doing a Braveheart-style freedom fist pump!! But getting back to reality, I would take care of my top 10 charities across the USA, take care of as much family and close friends as possible and honest to god, give away ALL but 4 million for myself. $2 mil would go into a secure trust, the remaining $2mil would be spent eliminating all my debts and buying a few nice things for my wife and child. Too much money attracts too much negativity and the dreaded "lottery curse". I would fly high as a kite spending/living off $4mil |

SS215, inflation is a b!toch. Maybe put some in gold as well. |
+1 on most of the above, additionally I would build a private track and private airstrip on my expanse of land. After that, my full time job would be to go out to my ridiculously well equipped garage and tinker with cars and planes...

Nah, thats the beauty of it downsouth. It would be $4mil more than I have now and PLENTY to live off for a very long time. I dont need much....remember big lifestyles equal big bills. Its expensive to be rich!
Once debt are eliminated I would be a free man anyways and still keep some sort of job to stay busy, until I got bored with it ;) I honestly couldnt survive the fantasy of yachts, expensive dinners, luxury hotels and 25k sq ft homes. Not me. I just want to be debt free and get a nice lifestyle boost to what I currently have. My wife & daughter is all that matters....we would simply be more "comfortable". Again, all the guns in the world couldnt buy me the security and peace of mind to live an extravagant lifestyle. I prefer easy living, simple.... |
