Would you stop working if you won the lottery?
« on: April 01, 2019, 07:01:02 AM »
I and a coworker just talked about it.

I would be out of here in a minute and never work again.

I'd probably stop bathing and going outside too.

I would still probably do investment and other stuff instead of a having a "real" job.

Anyone who says yes is a liar.

Would I work the "The Man"? No way.  I'd probably create some businesses, though. But owners in our capitalistic system don't really work--see Robert Kraft.

But I would probably start a small real estate empire and some nonprofits.  I would not "work" more than 30 hours per week.

I'd like to think I would use my wealth to invest in a business, but I would probably do what Momo said.  :doge

How much did I win? 10 million or less, I'm still going to do some kind of job but retire early.

More than that? I'll quit immediately and start enjoying life.

I'd stop doing my regular job, but I would eventually go work at something else [like writing books].

Let‘s just say that you won $50 million. Taxes have already been paid. (paying taxes on lottery winnings...double taxation :hhh)

My heart says bow out immediately.

My head says stay (maybe at reduced hours?) to maintain appearances as well as prevent a descent into utter degeneracy and complete social isolation.

I'd open up a music hall or a store that sells dope ass shit that wouldn't otherwise be profitable.

Absolutely. Hobbies and travel would certainly be enough to keep me occupied.

I'd pursue a long and clearly inferior career as Great Rumbler's rival, like Truman Capote and Gore Vidal.

Depending on the amount of money, I’d probably start a game dev company focusing on jrpgs.

Even on PEDs, getting jacked requires some dedication.

I'd pay someone to work out for me. :success

Or I'd just pay someone to inject me some oil in my muscles :success

What is the funniest terrorist group? Is it the Moro Islamic Liberation Front?

And which one is not important enough for the military to actually hunt you down?

I work at a school, and there's a guy at my work, who was in a band that was pretty big back here in Denmark, but absolutely huge many places in Asia. He gets quite a lot of money every year despite not having played with them in what seems forever, on top of whatever savings he already got. He only works like two days a week, and I think about 10 hours all in all during that. Basically just teach music to kids and sticks around to do whatever he wants to.

He is a bit of a character though, will also show up high as fuck and always bring copious amounts to staff parties there. The joys of being a small private old hippy school.

prob get into some real nu-wealthy conspicuous consumption pursuits, move to spain, get really into architecture, build some wild houses, get a sick yacht and a submarine, start a restaurant in san sebastian specialising in seafood for my brother to run (specialises in spanish cuisine) and i just kinda swan around in when i feel like it/bring in things i've foraged, have a perma-culture fish farm nearby. start investing everything in new energy and a doomsday prepper mountain retreat.

edit: lol, so no, but also kind of?

also, i would have miniature show ponies like arnie  :heartbeat
