the lottery is such a scam anyways....don't see the point of this topic

I'm surprised NMB doesn't care for the lottery, if he won he could move to where there's actual people and not 20 or so minutes from a major metropolitan area.

No he would stay right where he is and have a McDonalds and a Burger King built directly outside his trailer, with a fence to keep out wild dogs obviously

But then be sad cause it'd be closed at some point while the lights are still on.

Then post about it on here.


How could he not when they left such a cryptic note

They say that money can't buy happiness. They were wrong.


Agreed.


I'm more inclined to agree with the saying money can't buy happiness but it sure as hell rent it.

If anything, it can bring financial security, which can provide peace of mind. If you're not worried about your next paycheck, how you're going to pay your bills for that month, or how you're going to buy food for yourself or your family, you can focus on other things that will make you happy.

I say rent because buy implies a one time purchase. You run out of money you lose that happiness that came with it so. So either you rent it short term or if you have a lot of money its like paying a subscription fee.

One it would likely get boring if you did that too much, two its going to need fuel and it may need tuning or fixing eventually.

Very few things can be bought and last forever. Especially in this day and age.

Only if you continue to have the services that require payment.

Don't want to be billed for your car payments or car insurance - don't drive. You can walk, bike, carpool, or use public transportation.

Don't want to be billed for rent, home mortgage, or homeowners insurance - don't live in a traditional home. You can live in a travel trailer, tent, etc.

Don't want to be billed for your phone, cable, internet, Netflix, Amazon Prime, etc - use prepaid phones, cut the cord with cable, use public wifi, and don't use Netflix or Amazon Prime (or just share accounts).

Don't want to worry about paying for food - grow your own food.

And alot of that would lead to unhappiness with the average modern 1st world.person. Modern people desire convienence. This about money buying happiness not saving money.

Maybe. I wouldn't call it renting, but it might be to some. I have certain things I would buy. With the money I make currently, I wouldn't have enough to buy a lot of happiness. Being rich (like 50 mil a year for 20 years), I would definitely say that it was enough to buy my happiness. Sure, I could run out. But the chances of that happening are really small.

Eh imo I'd say you had enough money for a life time subscription. But its really semantics I suppose.

Only reason I know I couldn't blow 50 mil a year is there is just not that many things I care enough about to spend money on. 3 family members and maybe 2 friends I care about enough to toss money their way and for me a paid off house land and car, then I'd be set on video games and booze money with what's left over.

Maybe when he was kid. But most kids do, though even then I bet he did less outside of school at least because his parents didn't allow him a social life.

He was career military from 17 in up to 25 years later though and was a pretty straight laced law abiding citizen till his dying day.

Nice of you to assume.

I live in California and tha was on third list of states tha don't make you pay taxes on lottery winnings. So I'd still have over 300 million dollars. Get myself a large piece of property. Surround it with a decent sized berm. Have lots of trees and shrubs planted all over the berm. The side of the property facing the roadway would have a larger hill. On top of that hill would be built a good sized house that was designed to look rundown and "creepy". There would be some very well done fake dead trees around it for a little extra flare. Under that would be my actual home. The hill would be cut away at the back exposing the underground dwelling to the interior of the property. It would be a very modern, concrete structure with the exposed side being made up of motley windows to keep it from feeling like an underground structure. The front gate would have a driveway that enters the property at a sharp angle to anyone from seeing into the property from there. Now obviously it wouldn't be a secret since anyone who looked at it via Google maps satellite overlay would see what was actually there. But people just driving by would be all "WTF?" This is my dream home.

Then I'm getting a '69 L88 C3 and having that bitch lifted with some big ass off road tires stuffed under her.

After that, I don't know. Travel everywhere. Go swim with sharks. Experience some of the truly convincing trans women that Thailand is famous for. Perhaps arrange a people hunt. Learn to fly. Get a collection of bizarre taxidermy. The sort of stuff that Sarina Brewer and Enrique Gomez De Molina create. Eat so many different foods. Blow a bunch of stuff up. Experience a pregnant little person with at least one mid thigh amputation. Preferably both legs. After that? I don't really know.
