Current Events > Why do some people continue to work a 9-5 job after theyve hit the lottery?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Or inherit millions of dollars?

As long as you dont spend your money on dumb shit and invest your earnings into index funds and other retirement investments, I really dont see the point in working a 9-5 job.

Maybe they enjoy it?

That's the only way I see it. I like my boss enough I wouldn't dick him over like that and stick around until we found someone to replace me.

have a purpose in life

My job would be better if I could just not care

I'd be king

Honestly, I'd probably do it too for a short while. At least until I'm found out, seems like it'd be silly fun knowing that you're a millionaire now and none of these people have the slightest clue.

This and the fact that you have to do something each day.

I don't know any lotto winners but I know about 3 people who were born rich, like royalty rich. Having nothing to do, nothing to wake up for or not being needed someplace is a big concern for them, believe it or not.

Life would get empty very quickly.

I'd probably still work at an office job maybe just part time though. Like take 1 or 2 months off a year to go somewhere then come back and still work. Maybe take Fridays always off. I can do a bit of writing art work if people liked it I could do that full time. Or even maybe try being a Youtuber. Editing and posting videos talking about life stuff is cool.

I'd continue working just to gradually push the limits of what I could get away with and troll the fuck out of people I don't like, then once I either get fired or bored of it I'd be done with bosses forever.

I've often thought about it, & I just can't help but feel that on some level, it's just so empowering to work a job with the knowledge that you can just leave with no worries the second you get tired of it.

Considering I don't complain about my job and working many people who I deal with that bitch about work daily would be more pissed if I showed up to work in a lambo. The ultimate troll <_< "OMG U HAVE ALL THAT MONAAAYYY WHY U STILL HERE >_<!!!!"

I like working? I work to donate some of it? I see you're still bitching about coming to work...

Some jobs treat you better when they know you don't need it.
Then abuse the people who are trying to make it in life....ever worked with a bunch of boomers collecting Social Security? They are basically on light duty.

Some people (well a lot of people) don't know what to do with themselves if they aren't working.

I'd love it though tbh. Especially now that I have a daughter. That would be my job. Sucks wasting time at this job when I could be raising her and taking her to different places. But that's life.
